Many thanks for all that attended the raffle ticket selling on Saturday at Sainsburys at Crayford, an excellent turn out by the sections produced excellent results with all tickets being sold and over £700 being raised on the day.

There were many good comments too on how well the boys were turned out with smart uniforms.

2010-11-24 – Phillips Cub Pack Launch

Tonight saw the launch of the 5th Darford Scout Groups’ newest section – The Phillips Pack under the leadership of Tracy and Zara and assisted by new young leader – Chris.

Activities involved lots of fun and games with the volcanoes being made out of paper mache and next week they will be painted and eruptions may occur…

It’s not too late to join the Phillips Pack, but there has been loads of interest following recent leaflet drops to local schools and estates, so act quick and JOIN us now.

2010-11-05 – Leigh Pack Fireworks

Leigh Pack celebrated Fireworks night with a ‘Bang’.  With a full pack of Cubs briefed on the safety of fireworks, we made our way outside.  The fireworks commenced with plenty of “ooohs” and “ahhs” coming loudly from the excellently behaved Leigh Pack Cubs.

When the flash and crackles came to an end, we returned into the hall, Hotdogs “with ketchup too” said one happy cub, a warm up in the hall and our bellys filled, we returned back outside to a nice hot camp fire where we sung camp fire songs – Chickens have legs with actions (Can you imagine!!!) and toasted marshmellows, yummy! Each Cub toasted their own marshmallows on the open fire and enjoyed watching them go gooey before eating them. John then produced yet another surprise of Sparklers…. Gloves at the ready we made a circle and we lit the sparklers.

Thank you to Brett for a great display of fireworks and to Jacqueline and Tina for cooking our hotdogs.

A fun night was had by all and no Cubs were injured in the making….

In the past 12 months, Scouting in the UK has experienced its largest growth in over 50 years.  This in part is no doubt due to the new exciting role model the asociation has found in new Chief Scout Bear Gryll’s, but locally the 5th Dartford Scout group has started two new sections because of the public demand to be part of Our Adventure.  It’s not too late to join us as a Beaver or Cub, but places are limited so please act quick.


2010-11-18 – Rawhide Beavers Climb our Wall

Tonight the “Rawhide” Beaver colony from Stone descended on 5th Dartford Scout Group’s HQ to experience our Wall under the tuition of our own highly trained instructor leaders, who donated their time, experience and our facilities for free. The young adventures undertook this challenge as part of thier sponsorship mission to raise funds for SOS (Support Our Soldiers.)

We understand that these Beavers have raised in excess of £260 in sponsorship and have been busy packing shoe-boxes with goodies to be shipped out to our troops. The 5th Dartford Scout Group fully support the efforts of the Stone “Rawhide” Beavers and wish them every success in this noble venture.

2012-11-11 – Remembrance Service & Parade

The 5th Dartford Scout Group were proud to see so many members make the effort to turn out smartly for today’s remembrance service at the Dartford war memorial and parade thereafter; and to all of you we thank you for the respect you have shown as you did us proud.

It was a glorious, blue-sky, autumnal morning and we were fortunate to have so many parents and supporters line the streets to chear and applaud us as we paraded proudly around the town centre, which made it all the more worthwhile.

Once again, Thankyou to all who represented us and to Mr Taddei for the photos.
