The Great Bedding Plant Sale 2018 is now up-and-running and looking for your support!
Last year the sale raised several hundreds of pounds for the Scout Group minibus, and with your help we can raise more money toward purchase of a minibus to benefit all sections (Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts) of the Group.
Would you like to place an order (however small or large), or do you know someone else who lives nearby that would like some bedding plants?
Every plant will make a difference to the money we raise, but orders need …

A great big thank you to, the residents of Holbeck #Barrow-in-Furness, and friends/parents of the 17th (St. Perran’s) Scout Group, for your support of our Tea Prepared bake sale today. The funds raised by the #Beavers #Cubs and #Scouts will help keep Scouting active on Yarlside.

What A Great Success! – thanks to all the volunteers young and old(er) donating cakes and prizes, manning stalls, and buying scrumptious goodies, I believe the bake sale raised about £400…. Thank You All!

Weint Wood in October: While the Cubs and Scouts Reside
The smell of damp canvas; campfire popping.
Boots by the door, muddy and sopping.
Dense pillows of moss, carpets of leaves,
Bracket fungi and millipedes.
Slugs and snails (dare you touch these?)
Friends running, stick-in-hand, through the trees.
Laughter of sparrows and shouts of the crow,
Teens perched round the fire, faces aglow,
Until witching hour; reluctant to bed.
Sleep sound ‘til the morn; stomachs full and content.
By Bagheera (17th Barrow Cub Scouts)
Cub Scout Cultural Inspiration at Poetry OpenMic (DaltonLitfest)!

There is a nationwide shortage of leader volunteers – a very interesting article from the BBC and Cumbria County Scouts webpage at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39560023 and http://cumbriascouts.org.uk/more-cumbria-scouters-than-ever-but-waiting-lists-at-an-all-time-high/
Our group is also short of leaders and helpers from ad-hoc help for a couple of hours, to section and group leaders with a few hours each week or more, and everything in-between.
It can be very rewarding and enjoyable, and full training is provided as required (see Volunteers)
Could you help?

Orders are now closed for the plant sale.
For anyone who has placed an order, we can all look forward to the orders arriving at the end of May!

Akela’s final Cubs – 13th December 2016
Akela has been a member of our Scout Group as Cub Scout Leader for well over 20 years!
She has finally decided to call it a day having enjoyed all these rewarding years of volunteering, and we could not let her go without a special evening to celebrate how much she has meant to the current cubs, previous cubs (now Scouts) and leaders.
Here is a photo gallery from some of the activities (click on item, and then again on following image to see full size):
