Wood Badges

Posted on 11/12/202311/12/2023 by Ann-Marie Vinnicombe

Since September 1919 adult volunteers in the Scouts have been awarded the Wood Badge on the completion of their leader training.

The current training is module driven in a combination of courses, 1:1 sessions, workbooks and validation of practical skills; drawing from the leaders life knowledge and experience.

It is mandatory that a leader complete the training within 3 years of taking on a role; if a leader changes role they have to revalidate certain modules of the training and additional modules if their role is a ‘managerial’ role(GSL,ADC).

Please discuss with your Training Adviser to progress your training. Wood Badge Training Link

HQ process applications throughout the year and issues Wood Badge Beads and Certificates 4 times a year.

Farnham District Scouts – October 2022

Posted on 30/10/202230/10/2022 by Ann-Marie Vinnicombe

Dear All,

The Queen’s Scout Award is the top achievement for Explorer Scouts and Scout Network members and comprises of a variety of activities to complete. – https://www.scouts.org.uk/top-awards/queen-s-scout-award/

The award takes a lot of hard work and effort, covering a range of challenges.

I am extremely honoured to congratulate Freya Slape, currently Assistant Scout Leader at 5th Farnham (Bourne) on achieving her Queens Scout Award.

Family Camp – 21st – 23rd April 2023 – our district Family Camp is an excellent opportunity for your family to enjoy a weekend of camping together and enjoy the activities that are put on.

The charge is £12.50 per person for the whole weekend and we are able to do this due to everyone helping out; therefore we ask everyone to volunteer for at least an hour over the weekend to help their groups activity or one of the central activities (catering, crafts, parking, climbing).

Further details will be going out in January along with the booking form system opening.

However, on Thursday 10th November 2022, Garners Field, 7:30pm onwards we will hold a planning meeting and all are welcome to give their opinions and offers of help – even if you can not make the meeting please provide feedback on things you would like to see, improvements, things you do not want to see.

It would be great to get a rep. from each Group to ensure we know what activities will be on offer and share you feedback from across the district.

Café:

Gill and Brain Sneddon have been doing the café since 2015 and have developed it to the current level, so I have 2 asks:

come 2025 they will be doing a lot of celebrating and as such we are looking to train some apprentices to help spread the load as well as filling in for them
what are your opinions on the current offerings; what would you like to see, are we offering to much

Adam Meara – Assistant Scout Leader – 12th Farnham (Wrecclesham)

If you think you are missing an award let me know.

What’s been happening:

So Bazzaz was blazing, with over 100 Beaver Scouts from Farnham joining 2500 Beaver Scouts and Rainbows at Merrist Wood, all had a fantastic time. Well done to the leaders and volunteers who created activities and ensured the Beaver Scouts had a safe fun day.

Well done to Scouts from 5th Farnham (Bourne) and 8th Farnham (Rowledge) Troops who took part in the Surrey Scout Expedition Weekend 13-15 May; camping, route planning, 19k hike.

Congratulations to the 8th Farnham (Rowledge) who achieved the Gold Standard Award.

Especially well done to the leaders who got them there.

District Update – It’s the End of Term (July 2021)

Posted on 20/07/202120/07/2021 by Ann-Marie Vinnicombe

So thank you to everyone who has given 100% and got our Scouts out and about again, I have visited a few and it is fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves.

Good luck to those about to embark on Summer Camps.

So, what does 19th July mean for Scouting…..we are still Yellow, restrictions on numbers is lifted but It’s important to remember that we’re still in the middle of the pandemic and we all have the duty to make sure we’re following the letter and spirit of the guidance. Although there is no longer a legal requirement for many things, as Scouts, with a duty of care to others and to young people, we recommend and expect the application of good hygiene and covid-safe approaches to all our meetings, events, activities and residential experiences.

Well Done Scorpions

While out and about in Farnham town centre, a patrol of 6 Scorpion Explorers Scouts found a member of the public that had a knife wound – they controlled the situation and used their emergency procedure knowledge to provide 1st aid, call an ambulance and remain calm and productive.

Well done to all those involved in the incident this really shows what #Skills for Life is all about.

District Update – June 2021

Posted on 17/06/202117/06/2021 by Ann-Marie Vinnicombe

We are at Yellow risk level; hi-lights from 21st June 2021:

– Nights away activities restricted to 30 youth from one section or unit

– Nights away activities restricted to 6 adults

– Network remain max 30 non-social programmed activities

– adult only gatherings remain as per Government guidelines – ie. 30 outdoors, 6 indoors

https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/getting-back-together-safely/the-readiness-levels-across-uk-scouts/

NAN (Notification of Nights Away)

All Scouting nights away must approved by the District Commissioner, the NAN form and Risk Assessment should be sent no later than 7 days before the event (preferable ASAP).

Travel

Minibus and coach travel – 2m distances between those traveling is preferred but not always possible, where 2m is not possible then 1m with additional controls is permitted. Where the full use of a method of travel such as minibus is vital to a young person participation then all seats may be occupied but this must be done with additional controls such as face coverings, good hygiene practices, additional ventilation and the journeys kept as limited as possible.

Remember you require permits (valid for 5 yrs) – currently The Scout Association is not issuing these so if you do not have one already you can not use a minibus;

https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/running-your-section/administration/minibus-permits/

If you do not have a Midas qualification then please contact me for approval to drive.

AGM and Social – due to the restrictions above we are postponing the AGM until 22nd July 2021; we will resend the survey nearer the time.
