80 members from the group, including Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, were part of a group of 200 from Wokingham district to visit the Hexagon Theatre in Reading to see Jack and the Beanstalk.
An all start cast, well nearly, headed by Toyah Wilcox – not as punky as in her singing days – put on a great performance. The highlight was the giant who was VERY large!!!
The group was well represented at the winter carnival with 3 floats entering, the first time each section has had a float.
The Beavers were fantastic as 101 Dalmatians and some leaders have clearly missed their vocation in life – who was that Cruella De Ville!!! But who did "let the dogs out"?
All Scouts and families are invited to join us for the

We regret to announce the sad death of Sam Clark, our President.
1st Finchampstead hosted the District Chess Tournament for Cub Scouts today. Cub Scouts from around the District took part and all had an enjoyable and hard fought day. The results of the tournament are below – congratulations to Badgers Pack who had a clean sweep of the podium positions!
The Cub Scouts from both packs enjoyed a fantastic camp at Runways End Scout Activity Site in Farnborough. The site was renamed Worlds End, as this year’s camp theme was ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.
Over 60 Cubs and Leaders enjoyed the camp with many activities and much fun.
The Scouts had a great Summer Camp this July on the shore of Bassenthwaite Lake in the English Lake District. The weather wasn’t always the greatest that we could have, but was much better than the reports of torrential rain and floods which we were receiving from further south!
Badgers Pack Cub Scouts have just had an excellent session of canoeing at the Waterside Centre on the River Thames. More photos in the Activities gallery.

At the July 3rd meeting of Leopards Cubs the Athlete Activity Badge was staged. All the cubs had a great time tackling the events and had lots of fun sprinting, jumping, throwing and skipping to achieve the best scores possible to pass the badge.
A results 'flyer' is on the noticeboard at Finchbase listing the requirements and some of the high achievers along with those who successfully managed to gain the badge.
As part of Scouting's Centenary celebrations, the Badgers pack held a bring-a-friend evening last night. Their guests took part in a Wide Game and a camp fire – I hope they all enjoyed themselves.
