Explorers Karting in Crawley

On November 23, 2012

Brilliant night. Such good fun and something that Phil only runs every couple of years because it is expensive but 14 explorers piled into the minibus for a night of go karting.

Dave was the winner (beating his Dad)

Phil bagged second place

Rob was v chuffed to make it onto the podium in 3rd place

We paraded at Beckenham War Memorial

By Chris Elmer

On November 16, 2012

In Beavers, Cubs, Explorers, Group, Scouts

The Fifth had a wonderful turnout from all sections, in smart uniforms (for the most part) and brilliant behaviour (from everybody). Following remembrance themedÂ activitiesÂ for some of the sections, we invited them all to parade at Beckenham War Memorial on Sunday Morning. The hight street was closed off and with a parade that was 50% 5th Beckenham South, we walked to a memorial that is inscribed with the names of over 1,200 Beckenham residents who lost their lives fighting for their country. (more info on Beckenham War Memorial)

Chris and Badger lead the group down the High Street while Nicky carries the flag.

Their behaviour was perfect and the weather was glorious for a very special day.

Grace, Lizzie, Rhylie and Luke chat to Col. Bob Stewart MP.

They might be a scruffy lot but they did their duty and were a credit to us.

Here is a little video of the event:

Thunder Ready Steady Cook

So look… if you ever doubt the ability of your kids to cook… you should check out what they can create when the odds are against them. We really stacked the deck against them with courgettes, cabbage, cucumber, instant mash, tinned beans and pulses and more Â but still six patrols made six edible meals.

When they have proper ingredients they really fly.

Congrats to the Kingfishers who (amazingly to those of us who were supervising the cooking) made the tastiest meal for the judges.

We pinched an idea from the scouts but the explorers did it with rather less mess.

Robert gave Molly a cut down her arm

Tom’s arm was pretty messed up

Check out all the photos here and there is a link at the bottom for the full size pics.
