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.
