Goldthorpe Scouts Christingle Service

A thought at Christmas

33 Beavers and Cub Scouts and their families joined us to celebrate in our Christingle service, which was put together with the support of Breeze(Andrea) and Father Carl from the Goldthorpe Parish Church. We started the evening off by investing 3 new Scout leaders and 6 Beaver Scouts. A combination of traditional Christmas Carols and, a number of well rehearsed songs followed. With the Christmas story reading and a number of pause for thoughts (prayers), the evening was over as quickly as it had started. The evening was themed around the Scouts and the Christingle and we really are grateful to all those who made it possible. Special thanks to our Chairman David Ardron who has visited with the Beavers and Cubs to practice their songs and accompanied them by playing guitar.

A collection was held to support The Children's Society and if you want to know more about that, or find our what a Christingle is, visit http://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/what-you-can-do/fundraising-and-appeals/events-and-activities/christingle

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

Ed and all the leaders.

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!

Goldthorpe Scout Section invests 10 new Scouts into its brand new Scout section

Goldthorpe's Scout Section It was with great pride that 10 new Scouts were officially invested into the Scout Section of the 6th Barnsley (Goldthorpe) Scout Group today. Just over 18 months ago, there was no Scout Group, and there had been no Scouts in Goldthorpe for over 12 years. Today marks a watershed moment, as 10 new Scouts were invested into a group alongside 21 Beaver Scouts and 26 Cub Scouts, with several on a waiting list to join and new enquiries all the time. The group is in great shape due to the persistence and determination of the parents who have all stepped up to play a role in supporting the group. In particular, thanks has to be made to our Assistant Group Scout Leader, Breeze (Andrea), who has worked across all 3 sections and kept me going in truly challenging times. I also make a special mention of our Treasurer, Mark Davis, and Cub Scout Leader Akela (Cheryl) and Thunder (Ricky) our Beaver Scout Leader who have risen to the challen...
