Online Escape Room Tonight for OSR scouts Harry Potter Themed.

27/1/2021

 
Team building and problem solving tonight for the scouts from the old school rooms troop in Stoke Gifford. This was coordinated through zoom during their normal session and extended for 80 minutes. Each scout used a single player game so they could get the full experience of getting from the dormitory through various rooms and entering the final code to reveal a completion code and freedom. The scouts talked through their progress on zoom and used the chat facility to record passwords/ codes and various info. The leaders had a fab time giving clues to help with progress and the scouts some of which were very excited at their achievements and others scratching their heads trying to workout the clues.
We all had a very enjoyable evening and a big ty to the team that created the escape room for us to play for free. Well done to all the scouts

Two Stoke Gifford Scout Leaders given awards for good and long service to Scouting

21/1/2021

 
Sue Baker, a Beaver Scout leader and Michele Grattidge, Scout and Explorer Scout leader were presented with awards in December for their dedication and support to scouting in Stoke Gifford.
Michele started as a parent helper at 1 st Stoke Gifford Beavers in 1997, when her son Chris joined the colony.
She soon went into uniform as an Assistant Beaver Leader and from there has been a Cub Leader and then on to be a Scout Leader with the 1 st Stoke Gifford School Scouts, based at St Michaels Primary School.
In addition, she was a founding member of the Solar Explorer unit in 2007 and was an Assistant Explorer Leader until 2020.
She is a trained Duke of Edinburgh assessor and played a leading role in many Solar D of E expeditions and camps as well as supporting other groups with their assessments. She has been on more camps than she can remember and played a part in the growth and development of so many young people over the years.
She is the first person to be a leader at all our units, i.e. Beavers, Cubs, Scout and Explorers. Chris has gone on to be a Scout and Explorer Scout Leader himself, keeping up the family tradition.
Michele was given an ‘Award for Merit’. This award is given for outstanding service of not less than 12 years. It rewards keen, conscientious, imaginative and dedicated service over a sustained period.

Sue was a founder member of the 1st Stoke Gifford Beavers in 1993 and is the longest continuing serving member, having done all of her 27 years’ service with the Group. She still loves the interaction with the children and cannot remember how many sleepovers and camps she has done, though she does say not much sleep was had on any of them! Her husband Lee has been a Cub and Scout Leader and as a result her children Lauren and Daniel have spent more nights under canvas than most children! In fact she jokes than Daniel probably had his “Nights Away 50” badge before he even joined Beavers, aged 6! Sue says that she sometimes thinks of retirement from Scouting, but would miss the friendship and the camping too much.  
Sue was awarded the ‘Award for Merit’ in 2015 and this year was presented with the ‘Bar to the Award for Merit’. This was awarded in recognition of her further years of outstanding service.

We are very proud of and grateful to both Sue and Michele for their many years of service to the 1st Stoke Gifford Scout Group and delighted that this has been recognised accordingly.
