ITS been a busy few months for Scouts, numbers have remained at a stable 9.
The Scouts have taken part in many activities. In January we finished a project to make light boxes out of wood. We made 6 boxes each holds a candle and has a letter cut out of the front so that when you put them together they spell out Scouts. We then had our annual trip to Lazer Force, which is probably our most popular night of the year for Scouts and the Leaders alike.
We then did the Marshmallow challenge. This is where the Scouts had to try and build the tallest structure using just spaghetti and marshmallows. For pancake day we cooked pancakes using only a tin and a candle.
At the end of February I entered a team of Scouts into the District 5 A Side Football Tournament. We played six games, our first game being a local derby against Syston which we won. We then drew our second game and won the next two after that. This put us into the semi finals which we won on penalties. Unfortunately we lost the final 2-nil to Anstey Scouts.
A big thank you to Harry Colville, Scott Kinton, Brandon Iley, Redd Oxley, Matthew Bartram and Stefan Nistor for giving up their Saturday morning to represent the Troop. We have also been air rifle shooting at Wolds HQ. The Scouts shot both air rifles and air pistols on the rifle range.
To finish the term off we will be going Kayaking at Cossington Street swimming pool. I would also like to say well done to Oliver King for taking part in Syston Scout and Guide Bands show 'Sticks and Tones'. In May 2013 we will be taking part in the Charnwood District 30 year Birthday Camp in Nottinghamshire.
