Why is the Scouts motto and honey the same?????

Tonight was a BRAND NEW task, as we helped out at the 19th Scout Group in Cardiff. We had received a request to help and tidy up the outside of the hall, ready for some planting - currently they are measuring the growth of beans.

We were tasked with removing the weeds, brambles etc all short and stumpy, unlike the long and slim beans. None of this could be done though, not until we had figured out the riddle of the gloves..... As Darren revealed his magic trick of only pulling out one type of glove, it even made me question if I had put both right and left in the bag earlier.

For the brambles we dug as much as possible to hopefully stop them coming back in the future, some weeds could be pulled up by hand. Secateurs and loppers were used at the far end as we began to cut into the jungle of brambles, the scouts have a friends group coming on Saturday to help with this section. But many hands make light work, and it wasn't too long before we were cutting into the section ourselves.

It was time for a quick group photo, and to show off the mound of greenery that we had removed. A couple of photos, some chocolate treats from the oragniser and it was time to make our way back to the start location.

Join us next week for a great work out here

Wondering about the question at the top? Answer: They're both Bee prepared!

19th Cardiff East Scout Group
Beavers, Cubs and Scout group for local children run by volunteers

Excellent local scout group providing activities for children and young people aged 5+ volunteers run a variety of activities every week and also sleepovers, camps, adventure days etc I have recently started volunteer as Chair of Trustees after learning that everything is delivered by volunteers. We’re lucky enough to rent the hall in Roath Church House and also have a scout hug behind the hall but it could do with a tidy up and some general maintenance and any help with this would be much appreciated.
