1st Lindfield Scout Group – News for 2012
THIS YEAR WE CELEBRATE OUR 100th BIRTHDAY
1st Lindfield Scout Group was formed in 1912 and is one of the oldest scout groups in the country. Its scout hut is located on Eastern Road, Lindfield. It is a former WWII Canadian Air Force hut, but is now well beyond its economic life and has become increasingly expensive to maintain. We plan to rebuild the hut as soon as we can raise enough money to do so and to that end, we have significantly increased our fundraising activities.
For 2012 these will include:
Lindfield Arts Festival (May)
Lindfield Village Day (June)
BHF London to Brighton Bike Ride (June)
Haywards Heath Emergency Day (Sept.)
Lindfield Scout Group 100th birthday celebrations (Sept.)
Lindfield Bonfire Night (5 Nov)
Lindfield Village Night (Dec)
and The Great 1860s Lindfield Treasure Hunt (end Dec).
JOIN US?
In the UK there are over 30,000 young people on waiting lists to join scout groups due to the lack of adult volunteers. If more adults helped out this would allow more young people to experience the adventure of Scouting. Why don’t you spend more time with your child to learn and teach new skills and contribute to your community by volunteering? Everyone has a skill or ability that they can pass on to our young people. We always welcome any help from adults. If you have any queries relating to 1st Lindfield Scouts please contact us.
ANY OLD UNIFORM?
Do you have any uniform that your Beaver, Cub or Scout has outgrown? If so, and it is in good condition, we would love you to donate it to us. We can then sell it to others in the group and help raise much needed funds for 1st Lindfield.
2012 SCOUT CAMP
Our annual Scout Camp is due to take place on 23-25 June. Further details to follow.
