We provide fun, challenge, adventure and #skillsforlife in Bedhampton and the Surrounding Area.
Late yesterday we received confirmation from the National Youth Agency and our Central Scout HQ that as expected face to face Scouting is suspended across England during Lockdown 2 (up to and including 2nd Dec 20).
Over the weekend we will be sending out our plans to resume online Scouting.
We will still be running our Zoom AGM on 30th Nov where we will announce the winners of the Duck Race.
Stay safe, keep active, look after each other and hope to see you all soon.

The picture is from the youth celebration last year.
I’m very Egg-cited that we have managed to produce it virtually. Please go to https://bedhampton.church/celebration/ and enjoy. Please let you leaders know you have joined in and what you thought.
Why not repeat the whole Egg-cellent experience from last year and have a walk maybe include a picnic in the park with a few Eggs-ercise games with your family.
There are some Cracking picture of eggs in windows about the Parish. See how many coloured eggs in windows you can spot and think about how we can be “A Good Egg”, which is our theme and no yoke!
The next AGM was due to be 09 Jun 20 but it was agreed at the last Executive meeting to be postponed to the Autumn due to Coronavirus. Thank you for your continuing support in these difficult times.
The latest minutes of the Executive have been uploaded to the website here.
The latest Cub News and full Programme can now be found on the Cub Scout Page.
It with sadness that I have to confirm the cancellation of the Group Trip following Palm Sunday on 5th April. I will make arrangements for all money will be returned. We may look to hold it later in the year.
The Duck Race is postponed (rather than cancelled). It will be held at a date to be arranged later in the year when the Coronavirus situation has passed. So please keep care of those Duck Tickets.
The Executive have obviously agreed that Subs should be suspended whilst we are not meeting. Hopefully this will help for some families who could be really struggling. We also would also like to thank the our Sponsors 1st Bedhampton Church for suspending the payment we give them for use of the hall.
The good news is Scouting is coming alive online whilst Coronavirus means we don’t physically meet. As well as national efforts our local sections are trying to create on line programmes for you to try. Watch this (on-line) space.
Most importantly look after yourselves and each other at this time of need. Keep fit and active.
