1st Pontygwaith Scout Group

On May 11^th we are planning to camp at Daerwynno Activity Centre and on the Saturday spend the day there doing some activities including climbing and canoeing.

The cost of the event is £18 and if your son/daughter would like to attend this event, we require a £5 deposit by next week, with the remainder of the money paid on the night.

You can find a kit list on our website www.pontygwaithscoutgroup.org.uk under “Useful documents” and you will also be required to complete a “Permission to camp form” which can also be downloaded off the website.

Timings: Friday 6pm at the hall, back Saturday at 4pm.

If you require any further information please feel to contact any of the leaders.

You are cordially invited to come along to the First Pontygwaith Scout Hall on the evening of Monday 20^th February where there will be an opportunity to talk to us about the plans for our proposed new Scout Hall.

You may already be aware the premises we currently occupy just off Park View has seen better days! Built in 1968 the hall is no longer able to meet neither our needs, nor those of the other groups that currently use the facility.

Our primary aim is to provide a better quality environment that enables us to develop our activities, reach out to more young people and, when we are not using the Hall, to provide a new high quality community facility.

You can come along at any time between 6.00pm and 7.30pm. Scout Leaders will be on hand together with representatives of the consultants that have helped us draw up the plans. The evening will be informal and light refreshments will be provided.

We would like to ask as many parents to attend as we need to demonstrate that we have the support of the parents in taking this project forward.

Thank you for your support.

This is being held over the weekend of 24th-26th June and is one of major events of the year in the scouting calendar.

The cost of the camp is £35 and we need a deposit ASAP to secure your child place.
