About Us

Hampshire Scouts provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for over 16,000 young people aged 6-25, promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential.

In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are ‘learning by doing,’ when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves.

Th e Iceberegm Probl The problem with icebergs is that most of the danger is hidden below the surface.

We have our own iceberg problem in Scouting, which is shown in this year’s census analysis.

Hampshire Scouting grew by just over 600 youth members over the last year. But the truth is that we gained many more. Nearly half of our Beaver Scouts are new each year – so add around 1,900 to the 700 increases in the graph below – and the result is that we actually gained around 2,600 members last year.

This means that we lost around 2,000 young people last year. That’s equivalent to about 75% of our new members. And most of these were between the ages of 10-14.

The problem with icebergs is that most of the danger is hidden below the surface.

Our focus on recruiting new Leaders, starting new Groups and creating new Sections continues to be really, really important. As the Echo said in June, “Let’s give every child the chance to join Scouting”.

But so is keeping young people in Scouting. And if we are to get sustained growth for Scouting, then Retention is where we’re going to get much of this growth from. Ensuring more young people stay in Scouting is the key to growing by 4%, 6%, and right up to the 8% called for by our first Hampshire strategic goal of 25,000 young people by 2018.

Look at the graph above. The biggest losses are during the moves between Sections – from Cubs to Scouts, and from Scouts to Explorers. The losses start in the last year of Cubs. And they continue throughout Scouts.

So there are three big questions we now need to answer

•

How can we link better between Cubs and Scouts?

•

Why do young people stay in Scouting – or leave?

•

How can we link better between Scouts and Explorers?

I have my own ideas – adventure, progressive challenge, quality of leaders – but over the coming months we’ll be asking a lot of people in Hampshire Scouting these questions in order to understand the challenges better Let’s start to tackle the iceberg problem in Scouting.

Mel receiving her award from Alastair Bruce

At the County Annual Review and AGM on 20th June, the first Lt Cmdr Bruce memorial awards were presented. Several applications had been made for both the young person and adult awards, and the winners were decided by members of the Youth Council at a special meeting two weeks before.

The winners were;Young person - Mel Cooper, a cub from 6th Gosport Group with Cystic Fibrosis. Akela Lisa Reade said ‘Whilst many young people would give up, Mel always keeps battling on, when other Cubs complain that we have walked too far, she’s still going, despite her reduced lung capacity and the effect CF has on her everyday life.’

Mel is bright and bubbly, and has never once complained about how unfair her condition is. She throws herself into every activity on offer and is comfortable leading the other Cubs. Mel is never afraid to make herself heard.

We are all incredibly proud of Mel, what she gives to the pack and the way she refuses to let this life limiting illness beat her. She lives life to the full, thrives on adventure, and is a wonderful Cub Scout.

The adult award went to Dave Young, who runs two scout groups, 1st Sarisbury Scouts on a Wednesday Evening and Minkies, Fareham West Explorers on a Friday evening as well as regular weekend camps. He has run both groups for about 7/8 years.

He has always put Scouts before himself, organising camps, one day activities and evenings that they want to take part in - nothing was ever too much work for him to sort out! They have been to Wales climbing the Brecon Beacons, Canoeing down the River Severn and dragged a trek cart all-round the New Forest.

ty e f a s h t i w ! s g a armed b r e i r r a gloves & c

62nd Highbury and Wymering Cub Packs took part in Scouting’s Community Week by litter picking along Eastney Beach. All were armed with safety gloves and a carrier bag for two evening’s, working their way up the seafront. The young people managed to fill the rubbish bins at Eastney with the trash they collected.

Down Periscope If you think things can be a little cramped in a patrol tent, how about squeezing twenty-four Cubs and four cub leaders in a WWII submarine for the night! That’s what the 1st Park Gate Sea Scouts did when they became the first youth group ever, to have a sleepover on a British WWII submarine.

Located at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, HMS Alliance is the last remaining British WWII submarine in the world.

After a twenty-eight year operational career, she became the centrepiece of the museum in Gosport, Hampshire and the official memorial to the 5,300 submariners who have given their lives in service.

Currently undergoing a £6.75million refurbishment project, HMS Alliance normally had a crew of sixty-five. However, given the limited space on board, each crewmember ‘shared’ his bunk, with the submariners swapping over between shifts.

Fortunately the Cubs didn’t need to do this, but it was still pretty cosy nonetheless.

“We wanted to do something different with the pack,” explained Roger Marsh, Cub Scout Leader for 1st Park Gate Sea Scouts. “So we approached the Museum and asked if we could stay on board. Apart from a group of apprentices, they had never done anything like this before, but could see that it offered a great learning opportunity and a way to bring history alive.”

After Pack Alert and a safety briefing on the jetty, the Cubs were shown to their bunks and then settled down amongst the torpedoes to watch a film, projected onto a white bed sheet – just like the submariners used to do for entertainment.

Proceedings were interrupted however, when the Cubs were asked to go and help two ‘injured’ sailors – ably performed by two Park Gate Sea Scouts. The Cubs learnt that getting someone into a recovery position in a confined space isn’t quite as easy as doing it in a scout hall.

The Cubs also found out what life was like on board from JJ Molloy, an ex-submariner who is now Operations Manager for the Museum. They found out about ‘Silent Running’, or stealth mode as it would be called today, when even talking or a dropped spanner could give their position away to the enemy. They also learnt to talk like a submariner, well the clean bits anyway and the strange names given to everyday meals. ‘Chicken on a raft’ anyone?

And then there was the sleeping. Many of the bunks were triple-deckers with very limited headroom. Cat swinging was definitely not an option. But the Cubs did brilliantly, despite the strange noises and smells on board and not just those emanating from the leader’s room.

Talking about what it must be like for the crew, Daniel, aged ten, said, “It was amazing. It must have been quite tiring and boring being on board for a long time, as they had to do the same things every day, but they were very brave.”

Amelie, aged nine, agreed, “It was incredible, the people who worked on there were really brave. I found sleeping on there was quite scary, but to sleep on there for six months!?!?”

Hopefully this experience will be with the Cubs for years to come, but most importantly, when they are attending the service on Remembrance Sunday next November, they will have a little more of a connection to those 5,300 submariners who gave their lives on board submarines such as HMS Alliance.

The Royal Navy Museum offers a range of services to youth groups. For more information, visit: www.submarine-museum.co.uk or contact Gareth Brettell on 02392 545 033

ADD PHOTOS Business Airport Farnborough 22nd Fleet Scouts

T

he old Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) airfield was bought from the Ministry of Defence in 2000 and converted into the only fully business airport in the whole of Europe. It is now a very modern multi-national company and is called the TAG Airport (Techniques Avant-Gardes).

With a contact via our Group treasurer, our Troop were able to have a really good look around the airport with the help of a very experienced guide.

We first went into two of the three large hangers where the aircraft are “garaged” and most of these aircraft are owned by large companies in the UK. Some of the aircraft are owned by well known rich personalities and the remainder by aircraft hire companies. The limiting aircraft size for this airfield is 80 tons, due to the runway length and the surrounding area. Also no overnight flights are allowed. The aircraft range from business versions of the Boeing 737 and Airbus 320 down to quite small Jets, such as the Mustang, which is much the same size as the mini bus in which we toured the site.

Most of the flights are by business people who want fast travel for meetings all over the world. Also many famous people, including royalty choose to travel from Farnborough because of its privacy (away from press & public scrutiny).

After seeing all the aircraft in the hangers, we went out onto the main apron where we watched a big business jet coming in to land and a fleet of large posh cars going out to meet it and collect the passengers.

Our guide was in contact with the Control Tower who then allowed us onto one of the taxi routes towards the main runway end where we stopped to watch another big jet take off. We were then allowed onto the main runway and stopped there whilst the Control Tower put on all the landing Lights. We then drove all along the runway as if were going to take off – very exciting !!!!

Next we went to visit the airport Fire Station where they have 5 special engines. They got one of them out for us and all the Scouts went through the cab trying some of the controls especially the hooters. To finish this part we stood clear, while one of the Firemen showed us the huge range of the large foam & water cannon on top of the engine.

For the final most exciting part of the trip, 5 or 6 Scouts at a time went with our guide up into the top of the Control Tower. There was a 360o view of the ground and sky all around the airport and we could even see some of Farnborough town itself.

Before leaving our guide told us that many local people were employed at the airport arranging the business journeys, servicing and maintaining the aircraft. He also said that they had recently started a 4 year apprentice scheme and perhaps in the future, some of our Scouts may be working there. Altogether a very exciting and enjoyable visit and we gave him a really big

“BRAVO”!

SCOUTS RAISE MONEY FOR DISABLED BOATING CHARITY The Accessible Boating Association charity based in Odiham operates 2 specialised canal boats equipped with hydraulic lifts to enable people in wheelchairs or with limited mobility to enjoy cruises on the beautiful Basingstoke canal.

Each year, Hampshire scouts support the charity by holding a sponsored “canoe challenge”, during which up to 100 scouts paddle their canoes on the Basingstoke canal and complete routes up to 6 miles long.

Each year the ABA presents a trophy to the scouts who have raised the most money. The last event raised £644 and the greatest sponsorship was earned by twins Aaron and Joel Lewis-Grey, members of the Worting St Thomas troop in Basingstoke, which has 72 beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

Last Wednesday the joint winners were presented with their trophies at Odiham wharf by the Chairman of Accessible Boating, John Ranson, in recognition of their significant contribution.

The two boys have been Scouting for the last 7 years and are now embarking on their Duke of Edinburgh award. They also enjoy climbing and caving as well as kayaking. After the presentation they enjoyed a trip on Dawn, the ABA’s day hire boat, on one of the loveliest summer evenings we have had for some while.

Hampshire scouts continue to support Accessible Boating and the canoe challenge this year will be held on 29th September.

For further details of the ABA, visit their web site at www.accessibleboating.org.uk.

Grand Opening 4 New Forest North Eling Sea Scouts th

O

n Sunday 23rd June 2013 saw the official opening of the new Scout HQ and Aquativity centre at Testwood Lakes. After many years of fundraising, over 300 guests and members saw Francis Hughes, representing one of our lead sponsors, officially declare the building open.

Additionally, Kerie Wallace, District Commissioner for New Forest North took this opportunity to thank Paul Bullock the retiring Group Scout Leader (GSL) of Eling Sea Scouts for all his year’s service as GSL and to welcome Robin Clarkson as the new GSL. The concept of the new HQ was initially discussed 18 years ago and finally after many difficult years, building work started 2 years ago. With a huge push in the last 6 months, the building was ready to use.

Situated on the shores of Testwood Lakes it is a perfect location for Sea Scouts. The lake providing a safe environment for the Group to enjoy sailing, kayaking, pulling & rowing.

The building, situated over 2 floors, provides comprehensive facilities including a large boat store, changing rooms, meeting rooms and main hall. To help cater for disabled users, the building also has a lift with a claim to history of its own having been used at the BBC Olympic centre in 2012.

The group have raised over £150k themselves. Many other donors including a huge number of local companies and organisations have provided materials and labour. Without them the centre would still be an unfinished shell.

After the opening ceremony many of those attending were able to enjoy the water with a stiff breeze, providing great sailing and cooling the kayakers and rowers.

It is hoped that the newly formed Testwood Sailability group will also use the centre as a base over 2 days per week, once funds have been raised to build a specialist pontoon. This will provide safe sailing for local disabled people.

Robin Clarkson, the new GSL said, “The new building is a Scout asset fit for the 21st Century and will serve the Group for many years to come. What a fantastic achievement.”

County Kudu 2013 is coming!

go to the Alps HSX Antarctica have just got back from the Alps. The team of 6 attempted a summit on Mont Blanc and after a long climb over 3 mountains we summited at 7 am. It was a really useful trip as we learnt crevasse rescue and camping on a glacier which are essential skills for Antarctica.

On our rest days we climbed on the various crags around Chamonix and completed various routes around the mountains including ascents of Mont Blanc du Tacul, Point Lachernal and Petit Aiguille Vert. We also explored some classic routes up the Cosmoniques ArĂŞte while supervised by the many Japanese Tourists sitting in the Cable Car Station.
