In June four scouts and two leaders joined in with the neighbouring Orwell District on their annual camp.

The sun shone on the Groups Coronation Fete, and everybody looked like they were having a great time.

The Beavers were joined by some of the Cubs and Scouts for a Giant Angry Bird event at Westerfield.

Two silver chief scouts awards were presented at the Carol Service. It is the highest award a Cub can gain and was presented by Julian Dean the District Commissioner. One of the Cubs has moved up to Scouts since gaining her award.

The team of four Scouts from Westerfield came joint first in the Deben District cooking competition sharing the honours with 1st Grundisburgh well done James, Meghan, James and Rhys.

The Groups Annual Carol Service takes place at Westerfield church on Tuesday 11th December at 7.00pm

Around 50 Cubs, Scouts, parents, brothers and sisters enjoyed an afternoon of activities at our fun day held at Boxford Spinney campsite on Saturday 15th September. The weather was also kind to us. The day started with a picnic then came the activities which  ranged from shooting and abseiling through to fire lighting (no matches allowed) and pizza oven, this was followed by a BBQ tea and  finished off with a campfire.

The Westerfield Beaver Colony will be reopening in November 2012 for children from 6 – 8 years old.

Five Westerfield Scouts camped with the neighbouring Orwell District this weekend. They had a great time joining in all the activities, but the highlight of the camp for them (and the Leaders)  was being presented with the ‘Stoker Challenge’ Shield which is awarded to the Troop that gets the highest points for a challange that is set during the camp. This year the challange was to build a camp gadget and Westerfield went for a dresser for washing up and draining, James Hughes did most of the work on this.
