1st Pontygwaith Scout Group

Hi All,

We resume after the Easter holidays with a visit to the farm in Ynysbwl weather permitting. Each young person will require a warm jacket and suitable foootwear.

We will leave the hall at 6pm and be back at the hall no later than 8pm. If the weather is wet we will be in the hall at the usual time.

Thanks.

John

Do you want to stand out in a crowd, if so then you need one of the Groups Polo Shirts with our group name and Scout logo embroidered on the front.

Made from Polyester/Cotton these shirts are hard wearing and are ideal for wearing when out about on activities. Your son/daughter will also be able to ware them during the summer months to their weekly Colony, Pack and Troop nights

Shirt sizes are available in various sizes from 5-6 years up to XXL.

These exclusive shirts are not available in the shops and can only be purchased from 1st Pontygwaith Scout Group.

The polo shirts cost from £6 to £10, depending on the size.

For further information please see one of the Leaders.

This year for the first time the District will be holding a fun day prior to the service where all members of the movement will come together for the renewing their promises. This event is being held at the Rhondda Sports Centre in Ystrad and we would like every member of the Group to attend. Further details of the time will be provided nearer the time.

Lord Baden-Powell choose Saint George to be The Patron Saint of The Scout Association. He felt that the Saint George of legend set a good example of faith, courage and perseverance. St George’s day is kept on the 23rd April and our Districts will be holding our service on the 26^th April.

Traditionally this has consisted of a parade followed by a service in a local church but this year we are holding the event in Ystrad Sports. The service will be a celebration of St George and family members are encouraged to attend the service.

For further details please feel free to contact one of the Leaders.
