South East Berkshire Scout District Centenary Party - 17th November 2007 Over 400 of us had a great time at the District Party celebrating 100 years of Scouting at the Licenced Victuallers School, Ascot on Saturday 17th November. It was great to have the Groups from Binfield, Bracknell, Ascot, South Ascot, Sunningdale and the District Fellowship celebrating this milestone together.
Activities at the Party included street dancing, circus skills, bouncy castles and variety of games together with a dodge ball competition for the Scouts and Explorer Scouts. We were also entertained by a performance of conjuring and magic. A wonderful spread of food together with a magnificent birthday cake, made by Norman, a Cub Scout Leader from Sunningdale, supplied the sustenance for this worthy celebration of Baden-Powell's successful experiment in 1907. The leaders and the Fellowship ended the day with a relaxing chat, a quiz and liquid refreshments in the School Bar. The event was enhanced by a very generous £1,000 grant from the Berkshire Community Foundation.
