STOP PRESS - Sports Relief 2008 - We raised £58

A big thanks to all who participated in our Sport Relief night: We covered 4 miles on the night through stilt walking, pancake tossing, football dribbling, skipping, carrying scouts and kayaks! Special thanks to Miles and Christian for bringing in their stilts, Graeme for keeping tally of the lengths and yards and Sheila for making the red pancakes.

The 1st Hornsea Scout Group in East Yorkshire has been established for well over 75 years.

We are thriving Group and are one of the leading groups in the Beverley and Hornsea District, in the Humberside Scout County.

The group has active Cub, Scout and Explorer sections and is one of the feeder groups for the Beverley and Hornsea District Explorer Group.

The group caters for boys and girls aged 8 - 18.

The Group is based at Hornsea Scout Headquarters located on Trinity Road to the South of Hornsea, (see the location link in the above bar for more information).

The Scouting sections are:-

• 6 to 8yrs Beavers
• 8 to 10½yrs Cubs
• 10½ to 14yrs Scouts
• 14 to 18yrs Explorers

As all sections are now fairly full it would be best for all prospective beavers, cubs or scouts to check with the relevant section leader first either in person or via this link to find out if spaces are available.

If you are interested in helping out in any way or additionally becoming a leader please do not hesitate to contact us using the link at the bottom of the screen or read the following for more information from National Scout Headquarters. Another national Scout Association page also details why helping out your local scout group is a good idea.

A relatively new Scout Shop has recently opened on Cleveland Street in Hull where you can purchase Scouting goods and other related merchandise, for a site detailing its stock and location click here or on the link to the left of this page.

At the present time we have been succesfully in raising funds to replace the existing defective roof covering on the Scout Headquarters building. In completing this work we where very grateful to be helped by the presentation of two cheques, one from the Hornsea Carnival Committee of £2000 and one from the Hornsea Lions of £7000 towards the roof appeal.

Centenary Camp - Driffield - Friday 25th - Monday 28th May 2007, anyone who wants to know what 4 Seasons camping is all about should have been at the Centenary Camp in Driffield over the spring bank holiday weekend this year, for a full report see the news page and for pictures from the weekend click the photos link to the left.

To help raise funds for the BBC's comic relief event on the evening of Thursday 15th March 2007 the Scout Group held a none uniform evening. In order to attend Scouts and Explorers without Uniform had to make a donation to Comic Relief, however the Scouts & Explorers in uniform had to make a larger donation to comic relief. All the Scouts donated and to top it off the Scout Leader in charge accepted donations to allow the Scouts & Explorers to throw plates of cream at him. So overall a good night was had by all concerned, all in aid of the BBC's Red Nose Day!. For a further report on the evenings activities see the BBC's regional website for a report courtesy of the BBC including further pictures of the evening!
