Michael Wood Services, M5
Progress is good, and we’ve hit Michael Wood services (near Bristol) for some home made bacon sarnies and some much needed coffee! 🙂

Scouts
Scouts (11 – 14 years old)
There are two Scout troops in Marple, with Kinder (twitter) meeting at the Scout Hut on Tuesdays, and Cobden (twitter) on Thursdays, from 19.30 – 21.00.
There is currently a waiting list for both – sign up via the join form to be added to it.
Whilst both troops meet up separately, there are many activities that they do together – with the annual Easter Camp and Summer Camps a particular highlight, as well as Gang Show, joint walking days (and nights) and other ad hoc activities.
They also face off against each other in the Ian Corbishley Battle of Marple (twitter), when they compete at various challenges across a whole weekend before having a final assault course to decide which troop has bragging rights for the next year!
What we’ve been upto…

%%wppa%% %%photo=7%% %%size=499%% On Saturday 12 March, Cobden and Kinder Scouts kicked off at the Marple Ridge. Thankfully this wasn’t anything like the Easter grudge match, but a good-natured kickaround. The first match was won by Cobden, but the honours finished even because Kinder won the penalty competition!
