Thame Scout group re-opens after ten years

AFTER a ten year absence, First Thame Scout Group has re-formed.
The group, which re-opened on February 28, becomes Thame’s second scout troop. The troop originally met from 1972 until 1998 but had to close because of a lack of Leaders.

To form the new group, sixteen new members were taken from the waiting list for scouts and four new leaders were invested into the Scout Group. The scout troop will be called Rowallan, after the Third Chief Scout -Lord Rowallan. It meets on a Saturday mornings at Thame Scout Headquarters, in Southern Road, Thame.

This additional scout group increases the youth membership of the scout group to 131, but there still remains a waiting list for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

The Scout leaders are always looking for helpers, leaders and Fundraising Committee members. If you would like to help, contact shelaghhutson@aol.com for further information.
