New Group Badge
We are very excited to announce that all our members will be issued with their new group badge in the coming weeks. This marks another milestone for our group, which continues to grow thanks to your continued support.
To help us to cover the cost of production of these lovely badges we are asking parents to make a voluntary contribution of just £1.00 per badge. We’d really appreciate it if you could please return this in an envelope clearly marked “Group Badge”, to your Beaver, Cub or Scout leader.
Please can you make sure the badge is sewn onto the base of the neckerchief, (just next to the hemline) ready for the Remembrance Day Parade on November 11th. There is a photograph on our Facebook page – if you’re not yet a member, do join us at 1st Theale and Calcot Scout Group.
So a HUGE thanks to Nathan Evans, from Tiger Moths Cubs for the winning design and Ben Twomey (dad at Calcot Beavers) for the polishing needed for professional use!
