Beckford Peg Winners

Congratulations go to the 82nd Chapeltown Scouts for their fantastic achievement of winning the Beckford Peg for the fifth year running. If it was a football trophy they'd now get to keep it for good.

The day of the Beckford Peg arrived with a cool grey start for the first team off at 8.10am from Hood Hill. 14 scout teams and 3 explorer/young leader teams from all over the district were entered into the competition.This year the walk would take them from Hood Hill through Wentworth eventually ending up at the Rotherham Young Millers ground at Kimberworth. On the way they would negotiate 10 check points with 10 different incidents (although it was noted, by one group, that string seemed to be a common theme).

Naviagtion this year seemed to really good apart from a couple of groups who ventured too far away from the route, although they all managed to find the bases they required. One particular section that seemed to catch them out was the router between 7 & 8, the reason being that the map didn't really relate to the paths now in the wood.

The chance to eat a chip buttie and have a drink seemed to inspire the groups on to make the finish.

Thanks to all the leaders and helpers who manned the checkpoints on a really cold day to ensure that the Beckford Peg is one of the best events on the calendar.

Full Results are here

At the same time 2 explorer teams and a Young Leader team from the 33rd were fighting it out for the Spike Johnson Trophy. The winners were eventually the 33rd Young Leaders.

The District Disco was held on Friday 4th December at the 82nd Scout Hall.
Around 50 scouts turned up in their party gear to dance the night away.  THe opportunity to stuff their face with Pizza, pop, crisps and a tuck shop was welcomed by all the scouts.  After the usual first hour of non dancing our three DJ's got the party started so that the scouts could bop the night away.
Seeing all the smiling faces showed that this was an enjoyable event with many saying that they had enjoyed themselves and would be back next time.
Many thanks to Georgina, Ellie and Stephen for choosing and playing the music.  A big thanks to the leaders who got stuck to cook the Pizzas.
