Penistone Gala and Mayor’s Parade
In just under a month we’ll see the annual Penistone Gala and Mayor’s Parade weekend. We have a number of areas that we need support from both the young people and their parents/guardians/grandparents. We recently posted here, on our website, with details of what we need support with. This forms both baking cakes/buns ahead of the event and then typically two-hour blocks of time in-person over the weekend. Scouts and Explorers will have received an Online Scout Manager invitation earlier today (Sunday) for their component, and adults can let us know via an online form here how they can please support us. Thank you!
Jamboree Quiz night
Our World Scout Jamboree contingent members will be hosting a Quiz Night at the Scout Hut on the 18th May. It’s open to families, friends and everyone – scouting or otherwise. For full details, please see the event poster or dedicated page here.
Back in the here and now, let’s take a look at the coming week:
The week ahead (13th May 2019 onwards)
Beavers
Section meetings
All colonies will be making bug hotels! Normal times at your young person’s normal meeting place, please.
Future Beaver events
Cubs
Section meetings
Bella Vista and Alegre Cubs will be meeting at the hut and looking at mental health, what it means, how we can help one another as well as ourselves. It is also donut week so may be a sweet treat or two thrown in to the mix
Raptors – will also be looking at mental health, what it means, how we can help one another as well as ourselves. There is a possibility they may also be cooking on fires, so please send your Cub with a coat.
Future Cub events
None to highlight at this time
Scouts
Section meetings
Enigma – will be visiting the Games Workshop store in Sheffield to take part in an exciting new partnership between the Scout Association and the Warhammer Alliance. This will be to undertake our builder badges. There are a couple of spaces left, please text Shauna direct to secure one of these. The dedicated calendar entry can be found here. Please remember that as we struggling with adult leaders at the moment, if your scout attended last week, or hasn’t booked on for this week, then they will be on a week off.
Wibbles – hope to catch up with the geocaching previously planned (rained off last week). Please plan to be outdoors unless otherwise advised.
Viernes – will meet at our normal times at the Scout hut. Any specific needs will be sent out later this week.

Explorers
Section meetings
Explorers was cancelled last week due to leader availability and although this is still prevalent we are aiming to be outdoors this week. All Explorers will be notified of where to meet. With the reduced adult headcount, we urgently need regular (or even irregular) adult volunteers to please support this fantastic youth section. If this is something you could support, please get in touch.
