\"AGM\"Today saw the 5th Dartford Scout group open its doors to family, friends and local dignitaries from the Mayoralty,\u00a0Council Leaders, our newly elected MP – Gareth Johnson and members of our own Scout District leadership team.\u00a0\u00a0 The day kicked off at 11am with activities including 6yd rifle target shooting, Climbing, Abseiling, Ice-climbing, Archery and Arts & Crafts.\u00a0There were also burgers on sale at\u00a0 a very reasonable price and refreshments for all for a small donation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At @ 12:00 the activities were put on hold whist the official business of the day was conducted, which happily went without issue or complication.\u00a0 Mr Johnson spoke briefly to us about how he wants to help with some of the issues which\u00a0the\u00a0group are facing\u00a0including, but not limited to, the refurbishment of our driveway and lighting; and how he would like to\u00a0build upon the\u00a0 relationship we have held\"Target_used\" with the Mayoralty and leaders of the local Council.\u00a0 I’m pleased to reiterate\u00a0that all\u00a0members of our executive committee\u00a0were\u00a0returned and will be able to continue without delay with the invaluable non scouting work they have done behind the scenes to date and for the year ahead.<\/p>\n

After the official business concluded, the fun activities resumed until @ 14:30 with many happy, beaming \u00a0faces\u00a0having shot their first archery gold, their best target score, or indeed the first time they ever rang the bell on the wall.\u00a0 Council leader Cllr Jeremy Kite even dressed for the climb today by sporting denims and boots and gave a fine demonstration of how abseiling is done at the 5th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"archery\"The 5th Dartford Scout Group\u00a0warmly extend an open invitetion to Mr Johnson and to members of the Mayoralty and Council to visit us\u00a0for a\u00a0“have a go” session where you\u00a0can leave the suits, robes and chains at home and enjoy some of the activities which make\u00a0Scouting at the 5th such a valuable community resourse, which we hope you will treasure as much as we do.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many thanks to everyone who ran the events and refreshments for keeping us both entertained and sustained and to Kay for taking a great many pictures to document the day.<\/p>\n
