Group Christmas Fair
We’ve never really done anything like this before but our first attempt at a Christmas Fair went really well. We held it to coincide with the Golcar Christmas Lights Switch On and this brought in lots of people who wanted to get out of the cold after singing carols in the square. There were about a dozen craft stalls, a cake stall, a bottle tombolla and refreshments including tea, coffee, mince pies and mulled wine.

Many of the parents bought the fantastically decorated Christmas cakes that the Scouts had done and we sold every ticket on the tombolla. In total we raised £680 towards our Kandersteg fund.

On Saturday 13 March 2010 members of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts – plus a good number of parents – took part in the Eiger North Face Challenge. This was a sponsored event with the Scout and Explorer Scout Section money going towards their Kandersteg fund.Of course we didn’t go to the real Eiger – we walked from Newsome Scout HQ, to the summit of Castle Hill – 18 times!

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.
