St George's Day Parade in Tanworth-in-Arden.

This year, the West Warwickshire District Parade was held in Tanworth-in-Arden, hosted by 1st Tanworth Scout Group. Fortunately the weather on Sunday behaved and stayed dry! The parade was its usual colourful sight and our Cubs were well led by Louis, escorted by Cole and George:

 

 

 

Another trip for Mouse

Mouse has been on his travels again - this time with Felix to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise in France.

 

 

It looks cold Felix!



Welcome to Ollie

Welcome to Ollie, who has joined us from the Group's Beaver Colony. Ollie's first meeting was last week, when we got the fires going, the sausages cooking and the marshmallows toasting!

Viking Ship Fires!

We took last week's boats down to the canal last night to give them a traditional Viking send off. It was also a chance to show that they could each be safe at the canal side as part of their Personal Safety badge.

 





Thank you to the two Dads who joined us - Malcolm Stoddart and Phil Smith.

We finished up at the railway station to go through the second safety code as part of the Personal Safety badge work.

Making Viking Ships

We made some Viking style ships last night ready to take to the canal next Tuesday. The boats were made out of half a cardboard drinks carton (for the base) and then a variety of materials to make the ships head, mast, sail etc.

The boats aren't to keep though! Next week, we'll be going to the canal as part of the Personal Safety badge work. The boats will then get a Viking style send-off whilst the Cubs make sure they are safe in this local environment.

Daffodils around the Village

The daffodils we planted are starting to come out and brighten up Wilmcote. It makes that evening planting last September very worthwhile!

There are lots around the village. Can you spot all the locations? Here's just two of them:
