District Events Update

This Term: extremely busy, thanks to the Section Lead Volunteers and their teams

• Pledged Plod 5^th October – lovely day with beautiful weather included as usual.  Fabulous turnout
• Bald Eagle (Scouts) 11^th – 13^th October - huge event held here at Rhydd, huge thanks to the Rhydd team, and special congratulations to the Wolverley Dragons from WF4 who once again excelled for our district, coming 2^nd in the whole event, and 1st in the day bases.
• Cubs Halloween Campfire and Badge Day 19^th October at Rhydd
• Beavers Halloween Event 26^th October at Rhydd

So, for the first time we have held 2 Halloween events - again thanks to all involved, both amazing events which the young people absolutely love.

• Rhydd Colour Run, all sections, 27^th October – thanks to everyone, photos were amazing, to be repeated.
• Remembrance Day Parade, excellent turn-out, very proud of all Scouts and Explorers who attended.  Organisation was a bit hit and miss by RBL, and the cancellation of free parking for leaders was very sad and unnecessary. 
• Camp Cockerel – large event for Explorer Scouts from all over the County and Birmingham, run, hosted and organised by Wyre Forest District.  A huge undertaking, and my sincerest thanks to all the District Teams who all who worked so hard to make this happen, especially with the Rhydd Team missing key roles.
