Dark nights

With the clocks going back it is time to reflect on what has happened over the past few months.
I have visited some groups while they were on camp of one sort or another.
They were the 48^th cubs at their mother and cub camp and also at their cycle camp

I attended the active support meeting in which finally Peter Merckel got presented with the right long service award (20 years)

I attended the District Beavers 25^th birthday party where they had several activities to take part in(from a treasure hunt at a giant pass the parcel)

They also had a giant birthday cake to celebrate the event.

Two beavers got their Chief scout bronze award presented and I also presented Gary Dewar with his 15 year service award

 I visited the 77^th Kelty when they were up at Fordell Firs doing some climbing they also invested 10 cubs that have just moved up from beavers.

The following night I attended their AGM.

I visited the 66^th Aberdour scout troop in which Adam Shepherd had his chief scout award gold presented.

I have held a GSL/ADC meeting and also a district leaders meeting.

With the dark night snow upon us I don’t think it will stop what we do best and that is to deliver scouting in Rosyth.
