This week:
Penistone Gala
What a weekend! Right from Friday night’s comedy, through the X-Run and the family music festival, then into the Mayor’s parade and Gala. Thank you so much to everyone who supported the Gala, baked for the group refreshment tent, moved kit, manned the gates and fun zone. Everyone who has helped will have in some way contributed to brilliant community weekend and helped raised funds for the group.
New food challenge
Raptors cooked on fires at the Scout Hut; this was part of their personal challenge badge work – cubs were cooking and trying foods they hadn’t previously eaten with mixed responses!
Enigma Rugby experience
Our Enigma Scouts went to Wortley Rugby Club, learning a variety of skills and making the most of the late spring weather.
Beavers meet Woodhead Mountain Rescue
All three beaver colonies had a joint meeting this week. Huge thanks to Tom Vickers of the Woodhead Mountain Rescue.

Viernes visit Penistone Fire Station
When the first set of twenty scouts from our Friday troop went to visit Penistone Fire Station, the firefighters had been called out. This week, we managed to get back to the fire station and had a fabulous time learning fire safety before a guided tour of the fire engine / some hose work. Thank you again, Penistone Fire Station team!
Wibbles team-work and creative problem solving
Wibbles scouts had a team working evening tonight whilst also being creative. They were tasked with building a useful camp gadget. Some good team skills although most of the creations wouldn’t have lasted in a slight breeze!
And that’s a wrap for this edition. Apologies for getting it out on Monday rather than Sunday – we were all quite busy over the weekend with the Gala!
