Beavers July 2026 – Red Panda invested and a sad goodbye

Sunil Vedam was invested as our new Beaver leader,  Red Panda.

Congratuations Red Panda, we are looking forward to many adventures with you!

We also say goodbye to Warthog, who after many, many years being our Beaver leader is moving on. We would like to thank her for all of her time volunteering with us – creating long lasting memories for our current Beavers and those Beavers who have gone before us. We wish her all the very best for the future and will be presenting her with something shortly so watch this space!

Reading Regatta 2026 fundraiser

Reading Regatta Fundraiser 2026

Great fun and another success on the banks of the River Thames this year. Our Sea Scouts ran the Stake Boats and our Trustees and Parents ran the catering with nearly £4000 raised for our Scout Group!

Thanks to all who volunteered and a special thank you to Malcolm Paine, one of our Trustees for arranging this for us.

We cheered on Jonathan Paine (Malcolm’s youngest son), one of our former Sea Scouts, rowing for Henley Rowing Club and watched him win his race. Looking forward to the Reading Regatta 2027!

 

Beavers playing games at the park

Sol Joel June 2026 – Beavers

Beavers enjoyed their afternoon in the sunny park with lots of games including crab football, scrambling across the grass on their hands and feet trying to score a goal. A perfect afternoon of playing outside and making great memories together.

Cub Camp – May 2026

Our Cubs set up camp at Ferny Crofts in the New Forest during half term where they spent three nights under canvas. The facilities are amazing at Ferny Crofts and the Cubs enjoyed hikes, tunneling, climbing, pioneering, kite making and cooking their dinner on triangias ending each day with a camp fire. Brilliant time had by all, thank you to all involved for this amazing experience.
