2011-09-17 – District Beavers & Cub Sports Day
At 10am at the Running Track in Central Park Dartford the sun suddenly started to shine on masses of Beavers & Cubs from the whole Dartford District. A new format was tried this year and what a success! The day started with the heats for the Beavers running races, followed by the cubs. Then heats for the egg & spoon races, sack races and relays races keeping all age groups entertained all morning.
This was followed by a ‘Have a Go’ session for all ages at The Javelin, Shot Put, Discus and Long Jump.
The afternoon was taken up with The Finals for all categories and then whilst the final results where being calculated and certificates completed there were fun runs for the Under Sixes, Female Parents & Leaders, Dads and the very competetive Male Leaders race.
A very memorable and exciting day with Edwards Colony finishing 3rd Place overall and Philpott Colony joint 4th Place for the Beaver Section.
Well Done to all the Participants

2011-09-07 – Vicky Abseils to Raise Funds
Today, Vicky Tolhurst of the 5th Dartford Scout Group’s Collins Cub Pack challenged her fear of heights and abseiled our wall for the first time to raise money for our New Hall Fund. This was no small undertaking for Vicky, who would usually panic on the second rung of a ladder. Congratulations on completing your challenge and thank you from all at the 5th for your efforts.
A Night At The Races – Sat 1st October
And They’re Off!
The gates are up for the race of the year, which is getting your hands on the tickets to our annual Race Night. Tickets are now available directly from Paul, but they are limited and this event always sells out fast. So be fast and be first to secure your tables and horses.
As always, the admission fee includes a Sausage and Chip supper and feel free to bring your own drinks and refreshments.
We look forward to seeing as many members, families and friends old and new.
All proceeds to go towards the New Hall Fund.

2011-07-16/17 – Dartford Festival
Despite changeable weather, the 5th Dartford Scout Group’s Fundraising team represented Scouting alongside members of the district team at this year’s Dartford festival. Offering the public a pioneering assault course, temporary tattoos, fake wounds and facepainting, we made a small return on our efforts, but more importantly we made some new contacts, reafirmed existing ones and spread the word on our fundraising needs and aims. Thanks to all the leaders, scouts, cubs and beavers who turned out and worked hard to promote the 5th in what were challenging conditions, but hey, we are the 5th and the rain won’t stop us!
