Friends and Family Sponsored Onesie Walk 12th July

Simple fun - rolling down a grassy hill

50 friends and family of Goldthorpe Scouts went on a sponsored walk yesterday. Despite the hot summer sun, onesie's were worn as we had a picnic in Phoenix Park and then wandered back to the Scout & Guide HQ.

Peter Wade took up the challenge of wearing something special - what a great sport!

Cubs Visit Goldthorpe Library

Last week the cubs paid a visit to the local library in Goldthorpe as part of their Book Reader Activity Badge They had a great time as they learnt about the difference between Fiction and Non-Fiction. They discovered where to look in the library for a dictionary and how to use a thesaurus. They found out how the library catalogues their books so that you can find them easily and how you should care for your books so that they last a lifetime. The next stage in this badge is for the cubs to read 6 books. They should be able to name the authors and be able to tell the other cubs about the books they have read. Thanks very much to the staff at the library for showing our cubs the ropes!
