On December 13th the Group held its annual carol service at Westerfield Church. Most of the service involved the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts taking the lead.

At the start, two long service awards were presented, a 5 year to David Gibson and a 30 year to Derek Austin, the Group treasurer.

12 Scouts plus Leaders spent the weekend at Felixstowe, accommodation was indoor.

Friday night and we all went down to the beach. On Saturday the scouts did an activity hike organised by Anthony Gibson, in the evening there was the traditional Christmas dinner cooked by ‘Q’ followed by Pictionary.

A team of 4 scouts won the Deben District Cooking competition on Sunday against seven other teams.

Well done to Kate, Olivia, Alfie and Isaac.

This is the 5th time we have won the shield in 10 years.
