Weekly Summary
Last week we sack races as part of the preparation for sports day.
Next Week
We will continue to practise activities for the sports day and hopefully improve on our knots.
New Website
We have created a new website for the 52nd Epping Forest South, it’s still early days but we plan to use this for sharing information about our activities and other information such as where to get uniforms.
Please do take a look and feel free to provide feedback.

St Georges Day Parade

It is an opportunity to wash and press your uniform and Necker and remember BLACK SHOES (No trainers)

Summer District Activity weekend (Whole group) representing New Zealand
Date: 29th June – 1st July
Location: Thriftwoods Scout Camp, Brentwood
This will be a huge event with beavers, cubs and scouts from all the groups invited, the last time we ran this event there were over 400 young people attending!
We are keeping the list of activities a secret, but I can confirm the itinerary will be full (much like last years sixers and seconders camp).
Each group will be representing a different country and the 52nd EFS will be representing New Zealand, so we will need to learn a haka and serve a local dish.
I’m glad to say we some parent volunteers so we can take up to 24 Cubs now.
This will be an outdoor camp and tents will be provided.
More details will be provided as a finalise the plans.
**We have extended to cut off date to confirm attendance to the end of May, you can still sign up via MySCOUT**
Requests
Parents, please volunteer to help on the rota. https://www.onlinescoutmanager.co.uk/parents/programme.php
Please also note that once you have booked for an externally paid event, if you do not notify us in time, you are obliged to pay for it. As a matter of courtesy we hope that you can understand why we request this and how it affects spaces, leaders required to attend and the potential damage to our reputation. Please respect this and let us know via OSM.
All bookings MUST be made via OSM and payments should be automated as it saves us much time in administration.We may be requesting an additional charge for any manual payments in the future.
Yours in Scouting
52nd EFS leaders
