District and County events can be found on the District website,
which is kept up to date, but you can’t view that part unless you log in
as a member. The website address

You must give money received on behalf of the Group to Beverley
to deal with – you mustn’t put it through your personal bank account.
Parents should bring money for Subs or specific activities
in envelopes, with name, amount and what for written on the envelope.
Problems with late payers should be referred to Julie.
Beavers have a budget of 75p per child per meeting. Cubs and Scouts have a budget of 50p per child
per meeting. This can be averaged
out over the whole term.
If you pay for this out of your personal money Beverley needs
to have the receipt(s) or similar paperwork in order to reimburse you.
You can get badges directly from the District Badge Secretary,
Roger on 01728 685519. There is no
upper limit to how much you can spend on badges (i.e. the ones earned).
You need to agree these first with Julie (see page 5). Beverley
needs to have the receipt(s) or similar paperwork in order to reimburse
you.
We are a uniformed movement and Leaders should set a good example
on this.
You may be able to get uniform from Geoff Turner "Outdoor People", 11
Charles Industrial Estate, Stowmarket
- phone 01449 675511 to check.
T-shirts with the Group logo on are available from Sally; these
are not uniform but they are handy for grubby activities.
Group Scarves are available from Corrin.
Training and self development is an integral part of Scouting
for all members.
All Leaders need to do 5 hours training per year. This can be Ascent, JITA or going on courses
that you believe will help your Scouting.
(Please note that attending District or County meetings etc does
NOT automatically count towards training hours.)
