BERE REGIS SCOUT GROUP

Group News
During the current lockdown period the Scout
Group sections are not holding actual face to
face meetings but we are all keeping on touch
with meetings online and setting challenges for
the young people.
Once we are allowed to get back to our usual weekly meetings we will need lots
more volunteers as some of our current leaders are moving on to other things or
taking some time out for various personal reasons. There are lots of areas you can
help with – we have weekly commitments like attending a meeting to the one off
help like making a cake for an event. Please do see if you have a space in your
busy lives to volunteer – current roles that we need help with are adults to help -
secretary for the Executive Committee – this is attending a meeting every 6/8
weeks and taking notes, or someone to help with our publicity to prepare this
report every month? Please get in touch with Neal for a chat about how you can
help. Many thanks.

Explorer News
Shrove Tuesday and
making pancakes has
always been a popular
event for the Explorers
and this year they were
all challenged to
create some interesting
pancake ‘art’. We
witnessed some very
abstract works of art,
plus a fair amount of
burnt offerings, along
with quite a bit a
smoke. It was also a good opportunity to combine this night with our termly fire
drill!
When our Explorers turn 18, we always like to have a bit of a celebration for them.
Will Rogers chose to have a movie night at the beginning of March for his
significant birthday. It was enjoyed by all who attended - chilling out on their
beanbags and pillows, eating lots of popcorn and birthday cake together.
Emma and our wonderful Network Scouts led a teamwork evening in mid March,
