December 11th Scouts Carol Singing for Save the Children UK in Times Square
All scouts are encouraged to attend in full uniform (neatly) with scarf on December 11th at Sutton's Times Square Shopping Centre, next to the indoor entrance to BHS.

We will meet at 545 pm and sing from 6pm to 7 pm.

Scouts can either hold the collection buckets or sing. Song words will be provided.

This activity accounts for 50% of their community badge. This is one way for scouts to give back to the community, I hope you will all attend.


December 19th 7:30 - 9:30 pm Scouts Christmas Party (and Regina and Andy's leaving party)
All scouts and their parents are welcome to attend. Scouts are encouraged to bring cds with music. If you would be able to bring some party food see Regina on Friday December 12th. This party will also be the final night that Regina and Andy Keith will be acting as Scout Leaders.

December 19th farewell to Andy and Regina Keith as Scout Leaders
Andy has accepted a job in Africa (Guinea Bissau) and leaves the UK on Jan 2nd. Regina and Andy took over the scouts (as joint leaders) three years ago with three scouts, today there are 25 scouts. Regina and Andy are saddened to say farewell however they would like to say thank you to all those who supported thier three years from 5th Sutton and in the District. The troop has participated in most district events winning and placing highly in many including the cooking handball and football tournaments. This year the troop had two teams in the Tate Shield, four scouts in the SOUWEST gang show and three scouts moved up to explorers. Clear signs of a thriving and active scout troop. The new Scout Leaders will be Dean and Jeanette Whitehead (Dean has been working with Regina and Andy for the last two years), we hope that parents will support Dean and Jeanette in the transition.
