Don't Rain On My Parade

A very wet Scouts district church parade for Samwise this afternoon.

Flag Bearer

Remembrance Sunday, and therefore a Church Parade for the local Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Samwise didn't want to go to a "boring old Church Parade", however I felt that he should attend, since they are a church funded group, so I went along with him.

He's glad he went now, because he got to carry the flag for his Beaver Colony. Felt quite proud of him as I watched him march up the aisle.

Felt sorry for the nervous bugle player, hitting a few bum notes when playing 'The Last Post'.

Beaver Fun Day

Last Saturday I accompanied Samwise on his first Beaver Scouts adventure activity day. It was held at the Merseyside Scouts District camp site - in the woods at Lathom, near Ormskirk. We had a great day out. Go Karts, Donkey Rides, Craft Work, Bouncy Castle, Planetarium, Birds of Prey, Rock Climbing Wall and best of all - cooking sausages and marshmallows on a stick in an open fire.
