Our annual Summer barbeque and family fun day raised approximately £575 towards our new Quartermasters store. Burgers, hotdogs and kebabs were the order of the day with plenty of entertainment to keep everybody happy. The Leaders who were brave enough to enter the stocks were grateful it was the hottest day of the year! Thank you to all that attended and a special thank you to the Scout parent who loaned us the bouncy castle. Use our “contact” form if you are interested in hiring one for your own event.

A massive £1024.00 was raised at our Group Auction. A great big thank you to all the people that donated items and came along on the evening to place bids. A very special thank you should be given to Nigel Taylor, Chairman of the “Friends of the 38th” who conceived the idea and who has work relentlessly to make it happen.

Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts turned out in mass for the annual St. Georges Day Parade. A short walk through the town centre of Rawtenstall was followed by a service at Longholme Methodist Church.
The members were inspired by a presentation from the “Rossendale Eight”, the eight young people from Rossendale who have been selected to represent the District at the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden in the Summer of 2011.

Approximately a dozen families turned up on Easter Monday to take part in our “Hike for Haiti” fundraising event. This was an idea of our Explorer Scouts. The group of around 45 people representing families from all Sections enjoyed a walk taking in the Rossendale scenery raising money for the Haiti disaster appeal. |
 |
The walk started from our headquarters and took in the playing fields around Marl Pits sports centre, Myrtle Earth Farm, Far Height Side Woods (the muddy bit!), St. Peters Road, Dark Lane, Top Barn Lane and the Bridle Way alongside Bacup Road before returning to the HQ.
The two and a half mile walk took about an hour and a quarter to complete and whilst some of the adults and older children would have been able to walk further, it was far enough for some of the younger children. |
| On the return everyone enjoyed toasted Hot Cross Buns and drinks whilst the youngsters took part in an Easter Egg Hunt.
The event raised just over £60 for the Haiti appeal – thank you to all that attended. A special thank you should be given to local “rambler” Walter Waide who worked with the Explorers in planning the route and led the walk on the day. |
