Given the current financial challenges faced by many households we have taken the decision to reduce the ticket price from £7.50 to £5.00 (/£6.13 including Fees) to enable as many people as possible to see our Gang Show. If you feel you are able to, then you can make an additional donation at: www.23rdbromleyscouts.org/donate

After an enforced break the group are delighted to once again be putting on a Gang Show. It will be on Saturday 28th January 2023, with performances at 4.00pm and 7.00pm.

The Gang Show is an opportunity for all of the sections within the group (young people and leaders!) to get on stage and perform a song, comedy sketch, poem or dance to entertain the crowd. We are delighted that we will once again be joined by the Brownies who will be taking part in the Gang Show for the third time.

As well as being an entertaining and fun event for all, it is also a great fundraiser for the group.

Thanks to everyone who have donated second hand uniforms and camping gear last term. We have collated all of the donations and will be holding a second hand uniform sale on Saturday 14 January 2023 at the Scout HQ.

As our Young People grow we appreciate they get through a lot of uniforms and camping gear in their time in the group, and we know it can be expensive to keep buying replacements. In order to try to reduce waste, but also make Scouting more affordable, we are trialing holding second hand sales every term.

Thanks to Alison Ancrum and Hazel Murphy who are co-ordinating this for the group. Below you can see details of the items available for sale:

Huge thank you to the army of volunteers who came along on Saturday morning to help put the stage up – this means that the Pantomime rehearsals can kick-on ahead of our performances next month.

It’s not too late to get your tickets for the performances of Snow Queen. There are good numbers of tickets available for Thursday evening, Friday evening and Saturday evening.

Our annual Christmas Carol Concert in the Church will be on Friday 16th December starting at 7.00pm. 

It will be held in St Augustine’s Church (next to the Scout HQ). Siblings, parents, guardians, friends etc are all welcome to join us for an evening of festive carols.

Thank you to everybody who came along to Remembrance Day Parade on Sunday 13th November. It was great to have over 60 Young People and Adults representing the the Scout Group, by parading along the road and ending up in a packed church. Thanks in particular to those who took part in the service by doing a reading or laying a wreath, and also the sections who made items of remembrance for the service.

Well done to Oliver Ward who once again made chocolate poppies which were sold in aid of the Royal British Legion and made an outstanding £156.50.

After an enforced break due to the pandemic, the Group are delighted that the 23rd Bromley Pantomime Society will be returning in January 2023. They will be putting on performances of The Snow Queen.

Tickets are now on sale – further details can be found on the Pantomime page of the website.

We are excited to once again be putting on a Christmas Fair – it is always a great event to get everyone in the festive spirit, whilst also raising important funds for the Scout Group.

It will be on Saturday 26th November from 11.30 until 14.00 with entry just 50p!

The 23^rd Bromley Scout Group are proud to once again be supporting the Bromley Brighter Beginnings Christmas Hamper Appeal.

They have asked us to focus on collecting Shower Gel for all genders and ages (from babies through to adults) – they are aiming to create 500 Christmas Hampers for families in Bromley who are in need.

There is a collection box in the Scout HQ and they will be collected by the charity on Thursday 3^rd November 2022.

Bromley Brighter Beginnings is a registered charity in England and Wales (no. 1162113) www.bromleybrighterbeginnings.org.uk
