2013-05-11 – JOTT

Jamboree On The Trail 2013

jottThe 5th Dartford Scout Group were well represented at this years JOTT (a walk along the Darenth Valley path) with walkers joining in at various places en route. Leaders, Explorers and Scouts started at Sevenoaks Station, Cubs at Farningham and a mass of Beavers and their families from Dartford Park.

The weather was kind to the morning walkers, unfortunately as we set off from Dartford Park the heavens opened but that didn’t deter our spirits.

We all made it safely although rather muddy and damp to Sutton-at-Hone Football Club where we were greeted by much needed refreshments and given a badge to prove we took part.

Over 700 people walked this year (and a few dogs).

Our Thanks go to the organising team for a job well done.

2013-05-05 – Disney Bag Packing

disney (Small)Today, many of the cubs and beavers who are going on the Disney 2014 trip, attended a bag packing session at Dartford Sainsbury’s to help raise funds for the trip. Our young adventurers, accompanied by sainsbury-voucher2012a parent, did one of two 2hr sessions and we’re pleased to advise that the bucket count for today was £547.15.  We were also able to collect 625 Active Kids vouchers (running total now 9600) with customers realising that Scouts can benefit from them too.

Well done to all the young folk and parents who were able to attend today’s event.
