Sunday March the 16th, Walford College are holding their annual Lambing Day. This is a lovely day out, and Boreatton have been allowed to hold a car wash to raise funds for the Group. We need volunteers to help Jim and Shane put a shine on some motors and in return anyone helping can get their family car full of people into the show for free!
We have 2 time slots - 12 till 1 and 1 till 2. Please let Phil know which you would like to do at Scouts this Friday. What a great way to have some fun and raise some money :) (Parents are welcome to take part as well, as we need some grown ups to help with the car parking).

In Search of Snow (man) Sunday 9th March
Yeepee it's mountain group time again, on the hunt for snow, though some of us have probably seen enough during half term.
The official letter says the destination is 'somewhere in North Wales'
If you want to come contact Alan. We'll probably meet at the Enigma, Shotatton at 8.45 and be back about 6-30. Not sure if snowgirl Evie is coming though....

Selfie Mk2 Night Friday 7th March
How can you improve on a selfie? Lets give it a go.
What's a selfie?
Wikipedia give this;
A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera orcamera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking. They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies". In August 2013 the Guardian produced a film series titled Thinkfluencer exploring selfie exposure in the UK. Denoting a pathological condition: Selfieism.
You'll need to bring:
A camera phone if you have one. Though I'm not taking responsibility so if you bring it be careful.
3 old credit cards, or cards of similar thickness. If you haven't got three, I didn't say Nectar ;-)
(Hopefully Rory will have some spares)
An empty plastic milk bottle.
A pair of sharp scissors to cut the cards.

Expedition Challenge
I don't remember ever doing this with scouts before but several of you have asked.
You can find out what you have to do here.
We'll be running it as a patrol challenge so APL's, PL's and SPL's will be in charge but you'll all have to be involved in planning the route, menu, preparing your kit, map reading, cooking etc.
So far, the weekend is Saturday 12th April to Sunday 13th April.
You'll be going by bicycle and will sleep in or outside Melverley Village Hall (Where we did Shelterbox).
Each day will require a minimum of 4 hours cycling, but you don't have to carry all of your kit.
Leaders will not be with you but we'll be along the route and a dangerous crossing points to make sure you are safe.
You need to complete 8 of the 9 Challenge badges for the Chief Scouts Gold Award, the most important badge in Scouts.
