Partridge Green Scouts support polar explorer

1st Partridge Green Scouts are helping Patrick McIntosh to undertake the journey of a life time to the South Pole.

After undergoing treatment for bowel, skin and prostate cancer, Patrick felt he needed to recover his life after lightning struck not just once but three times…

He has always been an adventurer, having sailed across the Atlantic ocean and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro amongst other challenges, but his latest adventure will test him as never before!

Patrick will embark on an expedition to the South Pole on 29^th December, walking 222km with just one other man, polar guide Conrad Dickinson. Temperatures will be as low as -35 degrees, apparent altitude as high as 4000m, a constant headwind and 50kg of food and supplies to haul behind each of them.

Patrick hopes to use his South Pole adventure as a hook to engage people and spread an awareness message. After learning about the statistics related to bowel and prostate cancer, especially the importance of early diagnosis, Patrick wishes to spread awareness.

Possibly even more importantly, and more relevant to Scouting groups, Patrick is passionate about encouraging healthy eating and healthy living. We are living to a greater age than ever before, and if we don’t take responsibility for our own bodies by exercising and eating properly, the NHS may not be able to continue to support us in the way that we expect it to.

There is a more detailed explanation of Patrick’s motivation at  http://kmgfoundation.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/my-mad-cap-adventure.html

Horsham Scouting Helps Young People with Think Family Project

We are delighted to announce that the West Sussex Scouts has entered an agreement with the Think Family Project, coordinated by the West Sussex County Council and run alongside the Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust, District Councils and Sussex Police.

Our Part to Play

The Think Family Project aims to help vulnerable families change their lives for the better. The best part for us however is that young people from these families may now have the exciting opportunity to join Scouting in their local community.

But how does Scouting make a difference? West Sussex Scouts County Commissioner, Irene Orford recently stated, “Scouting helps change lives by equipping young people with practical skills and valuable life experiences, so a partnership between us is a natural fit. By working together we'll be able to provide Scouting adventures for some of the most in need young people in West Sussex."

The Next Steps

It is extremely rewarding for us to get recognition from participating authorities on the positive impact scouting has on many young people’s lives. We feel that going forward with this agreement will only serve to spread this message further.

Scouting can have a huge part to play in the lives of children, young people and their families. Therefore we are excited about the possibility of meeting more people within the community who could be offered the chance to join in with all that scouting has to offer.

Horsham Scouts Need You!

We are looking for an experienced individual to be our new contact for the Think Family Scheme.

If you are someone who cares about ensuring that every child and young person gets a good start in life and can look forward to a brighter future why not get involved with helping Horsham Scouts participate fully in the Think Family project or if you know someone who would do a great job, please contact by e-mail;

News from Kotemark Explorer Scouts

Following the visit of the Belgian Scouts to Beacon Hill the Scout Leader, Mathias, has been in touch to let us know how the rest of the trip went;
See first article

Mathias writes;

The rest of the trip went very well. 

We only were in a thunderstorm in Canterbury where we needed to leave our tents for 2 hours due to the risk of falling trees. Luckily we didn't have any damage. 

We returned on the 21st of July. We left the UK with good weather, but when we crossed the channel the wind came up and we had a very hard way back to Belgium.

Horsham will be for always in our minds. When I came home, I watched the photo's from our trip and when I saw the campsite I immediately searched the twitter account and found the news item about our visit. I shared it with my scouting group and it was a huge success. Everybody loved the story about our trip.

 Yours in Scouting is a phrase that is probably the same like our Dutch saying: Een stevige scoutslinker (also known as: A firm Scouting left hand shake)

Surprise visit from Belgian Scouts at Beacon Hill Campsite

On Monday afternoon (14th July 2014) a phone call from a group of Belgian Scouts was made to the Beacon Hill campsite chairman asking if an overnight stay could be arranged at very short notice.
The group were en-route from Bognor Regis to the planned over night stay at Dorking but due to unforeseen circumstances had to arrange alternative accommodation.
The group of 12 Belgian Scouts and Senior Scouts and 2 leaders started their journey in their home of Kortemark, a town 30 Km south of Bruges, have ridden their bicycles to Dunkirk, France and then from Folkestone along the English south coast to Bognor Regis and then inland to Horsham. Their journey continues today (15 July) towards Dover via Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Canterbury, Margate and Deal before returning home.
They all remarked that how much more hilly Kent and Sussex are than their own country!

Despite their long journey the group was in good spirits as they off this morning. They very much enjoyed the overnight stay in the relative comfort of Gummies - they didn't have to pitch their tents and had the luxury of cooking in a proper kitchen for a change.
They were all very impressed with the Horsham Scout Districts campsite (some didn't want to leave as it was so nice) and had enough energy to walk round the site before leaving. They were were on their bikes again by 10 am and were last seen peddling enthusiastically towards Crawley and East Grinstead.

The group's leaders Mathias and Arne expressed their thanks to Horsham Scouts for helping out at such short notice.
The rest of the group are:
Kimberley, Brecht, Astrid, Gregory, Fran, Sofie, Tine, Emma, Delphine, Emmelien, Lore, and Marie.



We hope they enjoyed their visit and very much hope they will want to come back for a longer stay in the future.


It is good to know that we can support our fellow Scouts whenever the need arises. This is just one of the benefits of being part of the Worldwide family of Scouting.

GPS Picture

Ever wondered how good your young people were at route planning? Just exactly how straight a line can they tread? And if they need inspiration, would they be up for the challenge of drawing pictures that can be ‘seen from space’? As part of the 80th birthday celebrations we held for 1st Shipley Scout Group at the weekend, I got groups from all sections to show their creative side and try walking out a picture using nothing more than a GPS running watch (my Garmin 305), a large field and a bit of teamwork. The results were quite cool and can be seen online on. For an idea of what I am talking about without having to go online, here is a screenshot of a tent (mapped out over 0.17 of a mile.

The idea is simple but the results quite stunning. With enough people and perhaps a dot-to-dot effect, I reckon some quite complex shapes could be made, and why not extend it to hikes in general? With a creative mind, sections could devise routes over miles that write out words, recreate the constellations or make a massive fleur de lis? How about getting the West Sussex contingent of the World Scout Jamboree together and creating a ‘WA’?!!* But back to earth – the Group had a fabulous birthday party, the young people (and the once young people revisiting the HQ they have known and loved these last 8 decades) had a lot of fun and we even invested some new Beavers into the group. “WA: a Spirit of Unity” is the theme for the Jamboree. The Kanji Character “和” (WA) embraces many meanings such as unity, harmony, cooperation, friendship and peace. WA also represents Japan and its culture Chris Sturdy Explorer Scout Leader, Paladin DDC, Horsham Weald

5th/10th Beaver Scouts - Community Week

Beavers from 5th/10th Horsham Weald Scout Group - Brooker Colony rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in to a wood clearance project to support a local pre-school.
The pre-school has recently started a Forest School where young children have the opportunity to learn more about the outdoors.



Scouts including Beavers get to know the outdoors very well but for some children getting their feet wet and hands muddy or getting so close to nature is not so common place.
 
The Beaver Colony worked hard to remove weeds to allow other plants in Forest School area to grow through.
 
Well done Beavers for a good day's work!

Eric Harrison - Cub Leader 10th Horsham and First Aid Trainer

Dear Scouting Friend,

this is not a pleasant message to send when it concerns a good friend and a particularly great friend of Scouting. Eric Harrison has Motor Neurone Disease and since it was diagnosed seven months ago after finding falling over far too easy he has gone from being very fit and able to now being house bound, reliant upon a walking frame, unable to talk legibly for more than a few minutes and slow to get about around the house. His recent message is below. I and other ex colleagues and friends of Eric visit when able, for short periods arranged by either email to erich1711@aol.com or by phone (256013) during early evening. He is up for short visits by any friend. If you know and love Eric for his passion, infectious humour and that mischievous glint in his eyes, go sit with him, share and chat before, all too soon, that glint becomes a memory, 

thank you very much

Eric writes

'Seven months ago I was walking up to ten miles, visiting the gym daily and kayaking. Now I can hardly walk, coordinate my movements and find speaking difficult. I have been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Basically this means that cells that control voluntary movements, including speaking, swallowing, arm and leg movements, have become damaged. There is no cure and these movements will become worse until complete disability. I have been given a conservative life expectancy of two years but that depends on how soon my breathing becomes affected. So next time you see me I may well be in a wheelchair and speak as though I'm drunk. I can assure you that I won’t be, because one of the most depressing aspects of this condition is that I can't swallow alcohol, especially my favourite tipple, whiskey! Because of the rapid onset and progression of these difficulties I will not be getting out much or doing any first aid! Even the smallest period of conversation tends to knacker me. I wish you all the best for the future, make the most of every day. It was a pleasure serving with you all. Good times

Regards, Eric Harrison’

5th/10th Community Challenge April 2014

On Saturday 26^th April Scouts and Leaders from 5^th/10^th Horsham Weald Scouts spent four hours clearing litter, cutting back the undergrowth to open up the paths and collecting wood for a fire woodpile.

The  work at Kingslea Primary School was to improve the wooded area around the school field and to make the area more usable.

Nigel Powling (Scout Leader) said ".... it was good to get the Scouts involved in doing something for the local community and it also counted towards their Community Challenge Badge. The plan is to make this an annual event to help Kingslea Primary School and its pupils".

Well done to 5th/10th for taking the initiative to get involved with the community.

Scouting for All - 2018 - Get involved

Scouting in Horsham Weald District has seen another year of growth.

Total membership topped 1000 children, youths and adults at the 2014 census in January.
This is good news for all those who are already involved in Scouting.
The truth is however they are the fortunate ones.
Every week enquiries from parents who recognise the value of Scouting in the lives of young people and want their own children to get the same opportunities have to be turned away because there are not enough adults to help provide the Scouting programme.
We want to do something about this but can't without other adults who want to help develop our young people as effective citizens and leaders for the future.

There are many opportunities for adults to volunteer in Scouting.
It could be as a leader which requires making a commitment to help run a Section (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers) with others on a weekly basis or as a manager bringing work experience and skills to oversee a group of leaders or as a supporter to help ensure the operational and financial viability of a Scout Group or District.
Other skills such as technical, information technology, maintenance, risk assessment and safety, administrative and financial, are all required to ensure the successful delivery of the programme to as many young people as possible.

Working with young people in Scouting is challenging, exciting and rewarding. It offers a values based programme which has long term benefits for our young people and the adults who are involved.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Horsham Scouts St George's Day Parade - 2014

Hundreds of family members, other supporters and curious onlookers lined the streets on Sunday 27th April to see more than a thousand Scouts parade and make the annual renewal of our Promise at the bandstand in Horsham Carfax.
Despite the odd shower weather it was a colourful spectacle which was lead by 1st Broadbridge Heath Scout Group. The parade was accompanied by Horsham's British Legion Band and were reminded of the role Scout played during the 1st World War to support the war effort.
A collection was taken - the proceeds of which will go to support the 'Scouting Memorial Project' campaign to erect a national memorial in honour of all Scouts who have made the ultimate sacrifice in armed service of their country.
