Faith Partnership Award
All Sections have participated in the Faith Partnership Award. This Award involves learning about a different religion and comparing it to a Christian faith. This year we chose to learn about Sikhism and we compared it to the Methodist religion. In February we visited the Providence Methodist Church in Golcar. Reverend Pam Ward told us all about how the Methodist religion was started by a man called John Wesley.

We also learnt about the style of the church and the ceremonies held throughout the year. In March we visited the Gurdwara in Huddersfield. It was very different inside the Sikh Temple compared to the Methodist Church. We were told about the Sikh festivals customs, the five K’s and the Sikh’s holy book. At the end of the visit we were given drinks and biscuits. During our Section meetings we compared the two religions and wrote about what we had learnt.

Last year, whilst in Kandersteg, the Scout and Explorers met a Ugandan Scout Leader called Gidd’s. Since then we have been in regular contact with him. With this being the case, we decided this year that we should look at Uganda as part of our International Night. In the weeks leading up to the international party, each section looked at different aspects of Uganda.

The Group joined Golcar British Legion for it’s annual remembrance day parade in the village. A brief service was held at the war memorial in Jubilee Square and then we paraded down to the British Legion on Scar Lane. The scout section had made a wreath display with poppies labelled with the names of all those from the parish of Golcar that have died in war. The memorial was on display in the entrance to the British Legion.

We decided to give it one more go – this year’s event had no specific theme and we did get more entries than last year – over 20 in total. The standard of entries was very high – there were some excellent scarecrows on the trail. 42 families took part in the trail, which started at Golcar Scout and Community Centre. The scout group had made a parade of scarecrows – with beavers, cubs, scouts, explorers, leaders..

Our first group event of 2014 was our environment event, which was held in Golcar on Sunday 13 April. Activities included litter picking around the village, clearing the ginnels, weeding on the allotment, planting seeds and planting the new flower beds around the Centre. Members of all sections turned up to help – along with parents and grandparents too.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far, we look forward to working with you at our future events. "Scouting provides me with loads of great opportunities and without the support from parents, we can't take part in as many adventurous activities because our leaders are too busy fundraising, maintaining the building or watering the allotment." - said Isobel, 14, Explorer Scout.
