Weekly update #7

Dear parents & carers I hope everyone had a good St George’s day? I don’t think we’ve ever had a Scouting celebration of St George’s Day that has lasted so long – from Thursday to Sunday. All very exciting stuff. It was great to see so many of our members and other Scouts from across the District, County and country showing off their uniform to the world, celebrating the fantastic efforts of our key workers and renewing their promise on Thursday evening. If you managed to attend the Kent Scouts virtual St George’s Day parade on Sunday, I hope you caught the efforts of 11th Folkestone. Our Pass it on video featured, as did the fantastic junk modelling picture from […]

Weekly update #5

Dear parents/carers Happy Easter! I hope you enjoyed the Easter Weekend (as far as possible) and that with a bit of luck the Easter bunny wasn’t restricted by social distancing measures!

Thanks to Peter and Karen for […]
