Welcome and Happy New Year
Welcome back to a brand new year of Scouting.
This year sees a big change in the organisation of Scouting In Didcot. The Districts of Abingdon and Didcot are merging to form the "Thames Ridge District". This has already started happenning, but will officially take effect from the 1st April.
All sections (Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts) will be issued with new district badges in the coming weeks, but this is probably the only change that the young people will notice.
Queen's Diamond Jubilee
2012 is a special year for Her Majesty the Queen. Not only is she Queen of the country hosting the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, but the year also has a particular significance for her: it is 60 years since she became Queen of the Commonwealth and Patron of both The Scout Association and Girlguiding UK.
This shared badge will be issued to all sections in Scouts and Guides.
Summer Family Camp
Watch out for details of a week long family camp to be held in Summer this year. Details to follow in the next couple of weeks.
