6th Allerton Cubs & Scouts
Don't know if any of you went to these Scout Groups at Kettle Nook in Garston - probably loads of you did - just to let you know that after a period of demise this well-known and much loved Scout troop has now been re-launched. Scouts is Wednesday evening at 7.30 for girls and boys over 10 and a half. Loads of activities to keep them off the streets and out of your hair. Girls and Boys 14 and a half and over Explorer scouts is Thursday at 7.30 they do loads of stuff - camping, walking Hadrian's wall for charity, Duke of Edinburgh awards. They are hoping to re-launch Cubs very soon and start off a Beaver group for 6 - 8 year olds - finding the volunteers to run/help will prove a challenge - I hope they succeed.
Re 6th Allerton Scout Group.
Hey Kev! I too spent a w/end at Tawd Vale! many years before you though! still remember having to make the porridge for breakfast, and then washing the dishes in the river (or was it just a stream?) and to Sweetpatooti, 'Thanks' for reminding me it was 'Sid' Constable! I wracked my brain trying to remember his first name! I can still visualise him in his railway clothes walking up Speke Rd (I lived in the 'Tennies' then) A few other names come to mind like 'Feasts' Gilmores' etc, and the Concert Party held in the old Jubilee Institute in King St. 'Happy Days'!:celb (23):
scouts , cubs & brownies..
these groups should be encouraged more and supported by the government because it was always fun to go to once a week, to meet your mates and occasionally meet new friends, or see the sister of one of your mates who you really fancied and would he give her a message...:celb (23):
and the pride to polish your badges or work towards your next level and it just promoted fun & enthusiasm in kids who now just sit at home and play stupid games which take hours and hours and hours... they always have to beat the high score...
they also were/are great skill developers, I mean howm many kids at school now can tie a sheepshank or reef knot...?
very few i fear...
bring back the scouts & brownies...
Lemmo...:celb (23): :snf (41):
