County Rifle Shooting

Congratulations to the three teams taking part in the county air rifle shooting competition. Hatherley teams came first, second, and fourth, with Shurdingon coming third. In addition, a Hatherley Scout achieved the highest personal score! This is an excellent achievement for the Scouts, and for Frank for his instruction over the term.

March 2011 Update

Since the flooding over Christmas, we have finally got the scout hall back to full use. The hall has been painted with thanks to Piccolo bears and the side boxes were done with help of two scouts. The boxes do need another coat, which  will be done in the main holidays. Both the Committee room and the toilets were painted by parents  - Thank you!

Air Rifle Club

We are running an air rifle shooting club again this term. We have a training session each Saturday. All the scouts are improving each week and on the 13th March we will enter 3 teams in the county shooting competition. We wish them all good luck.

Aerial Runway

On Saturday 6th November Thursday Scouts built an aerial runway at the Scout hall.   This was built between two trees in the grounds of the hall.  It took quite a bit of time to set up as it involved threading lots of pulleys for tightening the main line, hammering stakes into the ground for anchoring, and constructing two independent breaking systems. Most of the Scouts learned how to do some lashings, tie various knots and also the basics of how pulleys work. 

After it was constructed all the scouts (and leaders) had a go and it was great fun.
