Christmas Post 2022

Category: Events,News,Parents,Uncategorized — rootadmin @ 8:09 pm

We are sorry to have to inform you that this years Scout Post has had to be cancelled. This is a result of us not having enough Groups to cover the whole of the Rhondda Valleys. The Scout Group in Treorchy did not restart afgter the pandemic and the local Guiides who have helped us for a number of years are unable to support us this year. This has left us with no Groups to sort and deliver cards from Gelli right up to Blaencwm and Blaenrhondda.

We will be trying our best to make sure that we have new arrangements in place for next year and if anyone would like to volunteer please free to contact us via rich.flowerdew@trealawscouts.org.uk or John on 07976 623 950

The exisiting Scout Groups in the Rhondda are looking to recruit new volunteers and if we can interest you in joining us and helping us to develop “Skills for Life” for our young people we would be more than interested in hearing from you via the above contact details.

Some of the former scouts will remember starting this project and this is the finished Toylander Land Rover that we started with the scouts around 8 years ago ( we dont like to rush things here at Pontygwaith) .

Thanks to Derek and his scouts for finishing it off.

Bear Grylls has turned his attention to tackling boredom during the coronavirus outbreak by launching a new initiative designed to encourage children to try new activities and develop new skills.

The survival expert and chief Scout has teamed up with the Scout movement to announce ‘The Great Indoors’ initiative, a collection of more than 100 activities that young people can do to stave-off cabin fever while they are self-isolating.
