It will primarily be based at the Scout HQ, but the Scout Troop will also be taking part whilst at camp that weekend.
More details will follow in due course.
The 23rd Bromley Scout Group Fundraising Committee are holding a Quiz Night on Friday 22nd March 19.45 start, in the Scout HQ, with all proceeds going to Group funds.
Teams can have a maximum of 8 people – but if you are unable to make up a team then let us know and we can arrange other people to join you.
The Quiz master for the evening will be the ever popular Paul Gubby with a prize for the winning team and there will be a raffle held during the evening.
The price is just £5 per person (paid on the night by cash or card please). With only 104 seats available, book early to avoid disappointment!!
Please bring your own drinks and refreshments.

Oh what fun we had! With a significantly bigger cast than previous years; comprising of lots of new young people, who represented many of the sections across the group – we’ve had an absolute ball! It was truly wonderful to see how much our young people got from being involved in the panto – the impact on confidence, self esteem and friendships was significant! Being involved in the panto is a big commitment we thank everyone involved who has shown such dedication and enthusiasm.
We are delighted to announce that the panto raised just under £3,500 this year, enabling us to purchase a new stage for next year. A huge thank you to Rob and Ian Powell for sourcing the stage, for driving to Liverpool between Christmas and New Year to collect it and for storing it for us!
A huge thank you to those who came to support the panto – we do hope everyone enjoyed it and without the support we receive, we wouldn’t be able to put on the performances and raise much needed funds for the Scout Group – so thank you!
We hope to recruit even more new budding actors, singers and dancers for next year’s panto – we’d love to hear from anyone who would like to be involved. Please do get in touch via email (scoutpanto@aol.com)
Onwards and upwards!
Claire, Ellen and Nick
Below are just some of the great reviews that the Panto received:
“Absolutely Fabulous Darling – a 10 from us!! Laughed out load, whopped and booed and generally had the best afternoon of pure entertainment! Well done guys you all smashed it!!”
“Was brilliant. Whole cast were fabulous and the set, lighting just everything was amazing. Everyone is very talented and we had such an enjoyable afternoon. Well done to all!”
“Just wanted to get in touch to say how blown away we were by the Panto. It was our first time and we didn’t really know what to expect but it was absolutely amazing! Everyone who was involved should be incredibly proud of themselves. We can’t wait until next year!”

WE NEED YOUR HELP…
The Scout HQ project is continuing at pace and we now have detailed construction drawings which we can use to get cost estimates from local building / construction firms.
If you know of any local building / construction firms that you would recommend then please either comment below or send us a message / email (admin@23rdbromleyscouts.org) with their details.
We are also keen to hear from any Parents / Guardians / Group Supporters who are tradespeople and may be able to support
Tonight the Scout Troop are having a ‘Sleepout’ for Bromley Homeless – they have spent the afternoon getting their shelters ready and will be testing them out this evening.
This is all in aid of a fantastic local charity and you can sponsor the Scouts by clicking here.
