We aim to raise over £10,000.00 towards the Bigger & Better campaign and at a recent Scouting event Chief Scout, Bear Grylls, has wished us luck adding that he was impressed with the challenge we’ve set ourselves.

Thank you to everyone who has already put their name down.
Family Portrait Sessions
Richard Peters, who is a photographer and the dad of two of our members, has generously offered to raise money for the Bigger and Better Campaign by running a Family Portrait Session.
The Harestock Lodge Hotel has offered to host the event. You might like to consider a family portrait followed by a family lunch at the hotel.
How about a really nice photo in Scout Uniform, makes a change from the school picture.
All welcome – neighbours, grandparents, friends, those in need of a decent business profile photo etc.
Visit Richard’s web site www.rjpphotographics.com to see examples of his work.

17 May – please hold the date!
This year, Sparsholt Countryside Show is on the 17th May 2014. You may not be aware but 1st Winchester Scouts (Scouts, Cubs and Beavers) receive £3000 each year for managing the car parking on the day of the event but we can’t do this without your help.
Can you spare either a morning or afternoon on this day to help out? In return you will not only have helped raise a further monies towards the hut but you are also eligible for a free family pass to get you, your partner and your kids into the show (worth £28) .
If you do the whole day then the college will provide a free lunch. There is a great team spirit around this event and a chance, when not parking cars, to catch up with other parents. We will send out a specific request asking if you can sign up closer to the event, this is a chance to check your calendar and see if you can make it.
17 May – please hold the date!
