1st St Lawrence Scout Group – Ramsgate

Our annual Group Summer Fair will take place on Sunday 26th June 2016 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm. We have plenty of stalls, games, refreshments and a raffle to enjoy. Everyone is welcome so please spread the word.

On Saturday 7th May 2016, two Scout teams from 1st St Lawrence took park in the Thanet Scouts Monopoly Run. The aim of the game is to get to as many places in Thanet as possible in 9 hours from a list which we got provided in the aim to accumulate as much Monopoly money as possible.

The teams were only allowed to use the local buses or walking to get around. Both of our teams really enjoyed the day, one of our team’s covered 11 miles of walking while our other team covered 17 miles of walking. We look forward to taking part again next year!

One of our Scouts, Mia Laker, has won 3rd place in the Year 7-9 category of the national “Show Racism the Red Card” competition for the anti-racism artwork she produced.

Mia attended an awards ceremony at Boleyn Ground, the home of West Ham United Football Club in East London. In addition to this, Mia has been awarded the Artist’s badge for her fantastic achievements. If your child achieves something special like this then don’t be shy to let us know by email at: 1ststlawrence@gmail.com.

Your support is needed as Explorer Scouts, Oliver Greenwood, Archie Holmes and Darcey Holmes are selling tuck at all the section meetings this term until the summer holidays to raise money for their adventure to the Netherlands in August 2016 called “LEAP 2016”.

1st St Lawrence will be holding a stall at this year’s Ellington Park May Fayre to raise money for the diamond anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme. We will be selling bric-à-brac and we will also be running a children’s lucky dip. Please come along to support!

Today is the 90th Birthday of our patron of The Scout Association, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Some members of our group will receive an exclusive 90th birthday badge to wear on their uniform to celebrate this rather special event.
