A busy Sunday for Caythorpe Scout Group
Sunday 11 December was a busy day for many of our members; Scouts across Grantham District who had achieved their Chief Scout’s Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards were invited to a formal Awards Ceremony by Grantham District Scouts, which was swiftly followed by a Carol Service to celebrate the end of the Christmas Tree Festival at St. Vincent’s Church, Caythorpe.
Awards Ceremony
This was the first District Awards Ceremony since the pandemic, and we were delighted to invite a total of five Cubs and 12 Scouts from 1st Caythorpe and Duke’s Covert to the event, celebrating their respective Bronze and Silver Awards achieved over the last two years. Over 50 young members and 30 volunteers from across Grantham attended the event at Christchurch, Finkin Street. Well done to everyone who has earned these awards, it’s such a great achievement!
Carol Service
Hot on the heels of the Awards Ceremony was the Carol Service in Caythorpe. Our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts (not to mention Leaders, especially Leela!) have spent a lot of time over recent weeks preparing our Group Christmas Tree while also supporting St. Vincent's Church. Each child and Leader made at least one decoration – beautifully crafted with black and orange neckers, of course – to hang from our tree. We were absolutely delighted to find out that we had won the competition, with a very welcome prize of a tub of chocolates, which we’ll share at our forthcoming Christmas Party! We all enjoyed joining in the carols and having a chat over a mince pie at the end of the service.
