Some wet and wild fun with the Leigh Pack before the summer break.
2010-07-16 – Leigh Pack Fun With Water

Tonight the Leigh Cub pack practiced their cooking skills and prepared bacon, pancakes and eggy-bread, Yummmmmmmm.
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….

Over 500,000 Scouts in UK – Join the Adventure
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.

Without the leaders, we couldn’t do this…….
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.
2010-11-13 – Lord Mayor’s Parade
The day started at Crayford Station at 11:40 for the 11:48 Cannon Street service followed by a short walk to catch the return of the Lord Mayor’s Parade. The party had grown in number from last year to a staggering 28 including leaders and thankfully, the weather was on our side with dry sky’s and little wind. The scouts cheered well and the theme of the day seemed to be to get as many vehicles, which ranged from potato harvesters to 1930’s AA motorcycles and Tanks to open top buses, to toot their horns in exchange for their cheers. There were many hi-5’s exchanged with the procession and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.
After the parade, we made our way to the Bank of England museum, which is not usually open at the weekend, to check the daily rate of gold (13kg/28lb for only £236,056.00 – £20,000 cheaper than last year), lift an ingot, use the facilities and thaw a little before making our way to the Southbank for the start of the fireworks, which we missed out on last year due to bad weather.
Once we reached the Southbank, we made our way to a point just beyond the OXO tower to find a suitable spot directly opposite the launch barge, which gave us a fantastic view of the excellent display.
A most enjoyable day out was had by all for only the cost of a £2.00 travel card, which represents excellent value for anyone’s money.
Many thanks again to Keith for planning the day and ensuring we all kept to schedule.
