After what seemed a long summer break, we are now back with a
full programme of scouting activities, with our Beavers, Cubs,
Scouts & Explorers. The 2023 group camp at Tolmers Activity
Centre, at the end of last term, saw over 100 young people enjoy a
great weekend, and my thanks to all involved.

A number of our long serving leaders have stepped down this
summer, and our thanks go to Jez Farmer, Steve Brandon & Chris
Baker for their huge contributions to the group. We welcome Angie
Farmer & Marco Vittur to our leadership team, plus a number of
parents have joined the ranks of occasional helpers, without who
we could not operate. Its very much a team approach, and we
would always welcome more ! Thanks also to our “maintenance
team” who keep the Wadley Hut, in superb condition.

Sadly Jenny Ford nee Wadley “ went home” unexpectedly in July,
she had devoted most of her life to the 1 st , following her parents,
who were the key drivers behind the building of the Wadley Scout
Hut. She held most roles during her time, and is perhaps best
remembered as a inspiring Cub Leader, and our Group Scout
Leader. She retired finally to her favourite “happy” place, the Lake
District, where she enjoyed 15 happy years. She will always be
fondly remembered.

If you would like to join us, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks
