During August, the Cubs and Scouts from 1st uxbridge had a wonderful camp at Gilwell Park [the home of Scouting] and all visited Brownsea Island [the birthplace of Scouting]. The Regional Commission for Greater London opened a party on the Saturday of the camp, and activities from Leap of Faith to sledging to swimming went on for all to enjoy.

The Photos of the event are available on flickr or read more for more information.

Over 100 former members of 1st Uxbridge Scout Group Joined in an evening of festivities and memories at 1st Uxbridge's HQ in Rockingham Road, Uxbridge. From former GSLs to Scouts from the past, the range of experiences was phenomenal.

Photos of the event are available here to view.

On the last weekend in April, Scouts took part in a back-to-basics camp at the PACCAR Scout campsite at Chalfont, led by Ian and Westy, concentrating on basic camping skills, making bivvys and having a good time...

1st Uxbridge announces an informal reunion of former members and supporters of 1^st Uxbridge Scouts and I have pleasure in inviting you to attend on Saturday 7^th June 2008. The Get-Together will start from 4pm and end around 10pm.

Refreshments in the form of a finger or fork buffet will be available from about 6pm and wines, lager and soft drinks available throughout the evening as well as tea and coffee. There will be no charge for attendance or any of the refreshments but donations are invited, particularly for drinks and a raffle will be held so that hopefully the event will result in no cost to the group funds.

1st Uxbridge Scouts are celebrating their centenary year, and a new uniform badge has been created for members of the group.

The design was by Cian Wheeler (a Scout).

• Group Camp for existing members [23/26 May]
• Summer Camp for existing members [August]
• Informal Get-Together [7th June at Scout HQ]
• Formal Centenary Dinner [27th September]
