Scout Meeting this Friday

This Friday, 7th November, we will be walking from Dick Hudson’s to Ilkley. See below for important information.

The meeting will be a hike across Ilkley Moor from Dick Hudson’s pub to the Cow and Calf. We will meet at 19:00 at Dick Hudson’s pub (slightly earlier than normal).  Please arrange to drop your son or daughter off there.  We will finish at the Cow and Calf car park (the rocks not the pub) at 21:15, from where they should be collected.

Scouts should come in none uniform with outdoor clothes, including waterproofs and walking boots. Walking boots are essential.  Any Scout who does not come in walking boots will not be allowed to do the walk and must be collected by parents.  Remember, the weather may be cold and wet, so please make sure that Scouts are dressed appropriately.

Remembrance Day Service this Sunday

On Sunday 9th November the Scouts will be taking part in the Remembrance service in Ilkley.

This will include a short parade through the town to the memorial gardens at the end of The Grove.

We will meet at 14:15 on Whitton Croft Road (behind the Town Hall / Library etc.) in full uniform. The Scouts will be dismissed from the memorial gardens after the service (expected 15:30) so arrange to collect them from there.

Full, smart uniform is important and please wear a poppy.

This is an important event so can all Scouts make every effort to attend.
