  • Troop Farm Visit
    In association with the Manikata Farmers Cooperative, as part of it's Nature themed month, the Troop Section will be holding an activity this Saturday during which the scouts will follow a heritage trail which will give them a taste of rural life in a place where nature is always at hand.  Along the trail, the scouts will get to visit a small animal farm where they can learn about farm animals, feed chickens, ducks and sheep, and also help with the caring of these animals.  They will also walk through fields and country lanes, where information will be given about what is being cultivated in the fields, about local flora and indigenous trees found along the trail.  The scouts will also visit historical sites which include a World War II beach post and a small Roman tomb.

  • Keswick Adventure Badge
    As part of the preparations for Keswick Adventure 2013, the Group aims to design a commemorative camp badge which will feature on the Keswick Adventure T-Shirts and on the scout uniform.  A competition is being launched, through which the winning design will be selected.
        
    The following are the competition guidelines: 
    • Any member of the Group can enter this contest.
    • Each participant can submit as many designs as s/he wants.
    • Each design must somehow have a reference to "Keswick" or the "UK", to the "Stella Maris College Scout Group" and to "Scouting" in general.  This reference need not be in the form on text, but it can include creative imagery that conveys the message.  If the Group logo is used, it need not necessarily be reproduced exactly as is, but its elements should be immediately identifiable.
    • The badge should be relevant for the whole contingent, irrespective of the member's section.
    • Designs must be new and innovative.  Any designs copied (eg from the internet) shall be disqualified.
    • All entries must be submitted by Sunday 16th June 2013.  
    • Submitted entries can be drawn by hand or using a computer.
    • The Group reserves the right to not use any of the designs submitted.
    • If more than three entries are submitted for this competition, these will first be restricted to three by a Scouters Meeting.
    • The contingent members will then select the winning design, and the entry with most votes will be selected as the official Keswick Adventure badge.
    • The badge can be any shape, but it should not be larger than 7cm.

  • Mighty Heroes
    Once again, the Stella Maris College Scout Group is organizing a training camp for PLs and APLs, which has a Mighty Heroes camp theme.  The reason for this will become more evident as the camp progresses and the scouts learn about patrol leading and how to become better patrol leaders.  Patrol Leader Training Camps are, in fact, one of the most important activities organized for the Troop section.
