13 March 2005 ~ <\/strong>Doors Open Day<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

For one day only 62nd hut was flung open for the day. After a request from the District, as part of their recruitment campaign, we put on a highly impressive display.
\nMany ongoing powerpoint display’s, a couple of videos. hundreds of photos – dating back to 1914 (!) As well as activities involving candles, woggles, and much more there were bacon sandwiches, chicken, drinks, the list goes on… …including cardboard caving, cargo net, coffee lounge…
\nThank you very much to all those involved, if you weren’t there you missed a good one!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

19th March 2005 ~ Super Splash<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We hosted the District Swimming Gala. Called Super Splash it consisited of 5 fun-filled games. Lilo Race, Down Under, and more…
\n…if you were a Scout participating there was plenty of opportunity to get worn out, swimming in every race, and a whole 45 minutes fun swim at the end, complete with rafts, balls, floats, weights, hoops – you name it…
\nThank you very much to all those who entered or helped or watched.
\nCongratulations to 63rd (D) who came 1st – (the last time they won was 1924!)
\nAlso entered was 62nd And 61st \/ 104th. Seven teams in total. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

St George’s Day ~ April 2005<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was a sunny day in Bristol North West and 62nd had a great turn out for the annual St Georges Day Parade.
\nThe Scouts had the task of carrying the District Scout Colours.
\nTHANK YOU very much to all who turned out smartly, be you a Beaver, Cub, Scout or Leader!<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ten Tors is quite simply a long hard slog over the Tors of Dartmoor. Some current Scouts and Ex Scouts took part, suffering a continuous downpoor on the Saturday and slightly better weather on the Sunday.<\/span>
\nDeparting at 7am on the Saturday each team completes either 35, 45 or 55 miles. All Bristol North West teams finished in time (one team only just). <\/span>
\nCongratulations to you all.<\/span>
\nSee the Web Sites page for Links to the BNW and National Ten Tors Site.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

County Football<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
An early start on Sunday morning, but 7 committed 62nd Scouts turned up for the County Scout Football Competition, held at Woodhouse Park.
\nWe started well beating our first opponents 3-0! Our second opposing team didn’t turn up, a winning streak! Things were looking good.
\nHowever, our last 2 opposing teams were simply too good for us and we lost the last two matches. Our goalkeeper though did manage the man of the match award after some superb saves (how’s your head by the way?)
\nCongratulations to all our team, they played well and tried really hard.<\/span><\/div>\n

18th June 2005 ~ That ‘Yomp’ Thing<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/div>\n
A totally calm night on top of the Mendips ensured that three Scout Troops and plenty of Scouts had a very pleasant night of walking. The only complaint…
\n…that the walk was too short, despite getting back to respective huts way past 2am for chocolate and biscuits.
\nAnyway, at least the leaders have discovered a particularly evil way of waking up Scouts, cook bacon and set the smoke alarm off!! Works a treat!
\nApologies for no photos – forgot to take any! <\/span><\/div>\n

Thank you to everyone who helped and supported our Group funds at our recent Halloween Bash! On The Edge were superb, playing outside under the stars!? (Well under a tent)
\nThe hog was roasted and subsequently devoured by the masses. Early indications show that over 150 people supported us.
\nThank you all once again. Photo’s may appear, it depends if anyone took any and if they get them to me for the website, I’m not holdin my breath!! <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
It was a cold, cold night, remains of the day’s snowfall lay heavy and frozen on the ground. The Scouts arrived wrapped up snuggly against the bitter weather, but they were determined, they had a job to do. The Best Chips in the area award was at stake…
\nHalf a dozen chip shops were visited and the rules were strict. Marks out of ten were awarded for good service, crispiness, sogginess and plenty more. The Scouts took their job seriously, being quite critical, but extremely fair.
\nCONGRATULATIONS to the winners CHAN’S on WELLINGTON HILL WEST for their SUPERB chips! <\/span><\/div>\n
