Sainburys Active Kids Voucher Haul 2009
Thank you!
A big thanks to all the parents, family and friends of the 5th Dartford Scout Group who collected and donated the 2009 Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers this year.
It’s always worthwhile collecting these tokens regardless of how many or few you get as an individual because collectivly, they mount up. In fact, this year we collected a staggering 14,495 points and Wendy, Del and the team have been beavering away (Yes, the pun was intended 😆 ) ensuring they were put to good use.

6 Mega Scoots, 20 Compasses, 4 Vango 3 Man Tents, 12 Play Balls, 6 Poly PG Balls, 1 Orienteering Pack, 1 Sports First Aid Kit, 1 Basketball Ring, 6 Basketballs, 10 Mixing Bowls, 2 Soft Ring Toss Sets, 4 Sticky Monster Mitts, 2 Mango Flasks and a whisk.

On Saturday 27th June, both Collins and Leigh Packs went on an overnight cub camp at Hope Hill Campsite at Meopham and as can be seen from the photos, much fun was had by all.
2009-04-26 – St Georges Day Parade
St Georges Day Parade.
On the Sunday nearest to 23 April, Scouts throughout England parade through high streets and attend a special St George’s Day service.
5th Dartford Scouts were no different and this year’s parade took place on Sunday 26th April, meeting at 10:45 in Central Park, in Full Uniform.
The 5th were judged “Smartest on Parade,” which gives us the honour of parading the District Standard at all of this years events.
The service commenced at 11am and marched off at @ 11.40.
The March left the park through library gates. Turned left into Market street, followed on to Lowfield Street, at the junction, turned right into Instone Rd, at the junction turned right into Highfield Road, at the traffic lights turned right into Spital Street, at the junction went straight into High Street, followed to the end, turned right back to Market Street, and then back into the park by the Library entrance. The salute was taken on the Library steps.
