BERE REGIS SCOUT GROUP

Explorer News

‘I am an Explorer – Get Me Out of Here!’ was a cold November night’s Explorer
activity, loosely based on the TV show with a similar title. Teams of Explorers were
given 6 bush tucker trials in the Bere Regis jungle. The outside challenges
involved logic, initiative, musical ability
and communication. The inside
challenges included a trial called the
‘Critter Canteen’ which proved an
interesting exercise in blindfolded
insect tasting! Well done to Elliot,
Sammy and Sam, who survived the
various ordeals and were crowned
Kings of the Jungle!
Other evenings have included a
Movie Night at the Hut, complete with
the luxury of beanbags, blankets and
popcorn. Tinsel and baubles then
made their first appearance of the
festive season during an early December’s Christmas craft workshop.

Young Leaders in Bere Regis Scout Group
Some of our Explorers are also Young Leaders within the younger sections of the
Group. They assist the adult Leaders and sometimes plan and run evenings
themselves. Training is given to the young people to help them work with the
younger members of the Group and the Section Leaders. Once they have
completed a course of training modules and put their learning into practice,
they can receive a Young Leader Belt Buckle. Five of our Explorer Young
Leaders have recently completed all their training and will soon be presented
with this award.

Scout News
The first week in December the Scouts made sure that Christmas had arrived at
the Scout hut, the tree was decorated and lots of snowflakes now adorn the
windows and paper chains were made and hung from the rafters.
Community Christmas Lunch was prepared and served by the scouts; soup,
turkey with all the trimmings followed by Christmas pudding and mince pies was
just the order of the day to keep the lovely guests warm on a chilly Sunday.
