| Goldthorpe's own Scout Group neckers, ready for the ceremony |
Goldthorpe Scout Group had a milestone event as it welcomed 29 young members to its ranks. 14 Beaver Scouts, aged between 6 and 8 years, and 15 Cub Scouts, aged between 8 and 10 1/2 years made their Scout promise in a special ceremony at the Goldthorpe Parish Church on Lockwood Road.

Father Alan welcomed the group to the Church, located next door to the Scout & Guide HQ. And we welcomed parents and special guests from Barnsley District Scouts, District Commissioner, Tina Langley, Ann Oxley and Helen Arthur from the Silverwood Active Support Unit.

Next it was time for those Beaver Scouts...

| Every one is making a great Scout sign! |
Just before making their promise, the Beavers toured the church as part of their work towards their faith badge.

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to join in on this great celebration, our leaders, our committee members, parents and our special guests. Finally we were really proud of the Beaver and Cubs behaviour, they did us all proud.
Have a great half term and we'll see you all after the school holidays.
