Winter Camp 2012
Scouts and Explorers – Gilwell WinterCamp 2012
Last weekend saw the older Scouts team up with the Columbus Explorer Unit to go to this annual event at Gilwell Park. Attended by over 2,500 young people, it is one of the most popular events of the year. The 30th have attended before and after such a fantastic time in the snow last year, we didn’t want to pass up the opportunity of going again! Travelling down in a convoy of 2 minibuses and a van were 25 scouts and explorers and 5 of the leadership team.

Scouts & Explorers - Community Fundraising
Each year the Scouts and Explorers assist our local Round Table with their series of Street Collections, following Father Christmas as he tours the Borough in his mobile "house". Following the fantastic support we received from the Scouts this year, I can report that Round Table’s receipts for the collections the 30th helped with are as follows:
Wednesday 17th December - £580
Friday 19th December - £641
Tuesday 23rd December - £705
That makes a grand total of £1926 collected, a 9% increase on the same routes from last year. The 30th receive a £175 donation from Round Table for each evening we help with, so the Group will receive £525 to help towards equipment, etc.
