23rd fife 1st Leven

weeginger1 — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 02:47:31 CST

Hello, thanks for logging onto the 23rd Fife 1st Leven web page.
If you want to contact us please e#mail me on georgedrummond@msn.com

Leven Scout Group was founded in 1909 which makes us one of the oldest groups in Scotland. We will be celebrating our centenary next year. The group moved from place to place between Leven and Kennoway until the 1950's when the hall we are still in today was built in Montrave Cresent.
The group is about to celebrate its centenary year. We will be asking the young people of the group to design a badge to comemorate this once in a life time event. We will also be having our own little centenary camp at Fordel sometime after Easter.
The hall we are in is about to go through some major refurbishment. Stage one will involve putting in new windows, upgrading gents toilet, disabled toilet facilities, a disabled access ramp at the front, new fire doors and a new front door. Stage 2 will be a new heating system and a new kitchen. These upgrades should give the Scout groups within Levenmouth and the Local community an attractive venue for events well into the future. Hannah Drummond has become the first female Explorer Scout in the Levenmouth area. She was invested into the McDonald Explorer Unit on Friday 9th January 2009. Well done Hannah.

Explorer News

andrewcrumpton — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 15:26:32 CST

Hello and welcome to the news. Imagine a world where nothing ever changes. Where the sun shines for 12 hours and 43 minutes every day. Where people all drive the same cars, have the same haircuts and all enjoy the sweet blue eyed soul of Marti Pellow's Wet Wet Wet. Imagine how dull that might be. Well, we're here to save you with the Explorer Scout news. A big announcement Parp pa pa pa parp paaaarp. And with that stately fanfare we are proud to announce Ross is to become the proud recipient of the Medal of Merit for his services to Scouting. Conservation Heard this the other day about figs and had to tell someone. Figs are pretty amazing. They have many thousands of flowers but chances are you’ve never seen them. They’re hidden away inside the fig fruit and are pollinated by tiny fig wasps. Most of the 750 species of fig have their very own species of fig wasp which in turn is completely dependent on that fig species for food and shelter. It’s where they will grow up, meet their partner and die. So anyway well done to Catrina, Jordan, Jack and the guys from the 13th Explorer Scout unit for turning out for the conservation project on Saturday. Don’t forget these counts towards your Explorer awards, D of E and John Muir award. This Wednesday We will be doing the staged swimming activity badge at Lochgelly high School from 6.30pm till 8.30pm. So we will leave the community at 6.00pm returning at 9.00pm then on Saturday we will be taking part in the Kirkcaldy swimming Gala details to follow on Wednesday.

Next Wednesday We feel for you. We really do. Some of you have been receiving the Explorer Scout news for over four week now, and what have you got in return? A load of chat about Explorer Scouts, some pictures of you, a couple of special features about the Duke of Edinburgh and a photo of Santa. Some would argue that that is actually quite a good return on your investment. So on the 19th of November we are going Ice Skating to Dundee its party night and its Free Last Wednesday We are really happy when someone we know wins something as it normally means its there round at Starbucks latte all round. So well done to the team that won the ready steady cook on Wednesday night 3rd December Conservation Falkland Making stuff is great. You start off with some drinking straws, sellotape and an old cardboard box and before you know it you've got a scale model of the Guggenheim in Bilbao. We like making things, so we are very happy to be heading to Sugar Acers to make Bird boxes for your next conservation project. Duke of Edinburgh We would like to say we have been invited to the palace of holyrood house for tea and crumpets and those little cucumber sandwiches with out the crust but no its just or next D of E up date. Ever wanted to have a go at something completely different? Or get recognised for the time and effort you put into your favourite hobby? This is what the Skills section is all about.

From podcasting to painting, from DJing to driving, from music to making kites, whatever skill you choose can allow you to develop new talents or perfect existing ones. Follow a passion or discover a new one, the choice is yours.

“I learned so much…the tutors were such talented musician. The highlight was taking part in the ‘Proms in the Park’ celebrations which was televised live.” Dipak, Gold Award holder

Once you’ve chosen your skill you’ll need to decide how long you’re going to do it for and set yourself some objectives – what you want to get out of doing it. You’ll then need to find someone who will agree to be your Assessor – they need to have some knowledge of the skill you’re doing so they can help you along the way and agree at the end that you’ve met your goals.

As soon as you have all this in place just check with your Leader before you start – this enables us to establish whether you’ve ‘ticked’ all the boxes needed to progress towards achieving your Award and that you’ve set yourself enough of a challenge. They’ll also make sure what you’ve chosen counts for the Skills section, for example, dance is physical but dance appreciation is a skill. And Finally
According to France's Chocolate-Makers Union, the Swiss are the world's top consumers of chocolate, chomping through 12.3 kilogram’s per person per year.

12th-14th December London Xmas shopping Stop press London’s nice this time of year. Light’s, shopping, small dogs practising for parts in the Christmas pantomime just fabulous. But it’s rather a long way to go on a Wednesday. You’d never make it back in time for The One Show. We are going for a whole weekend.

fife conservation project

Easter Egg Camp

andrewcrumpton — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 17:00:26 CDT

We joined Explorer Scouts from across Fife between Friday 21st and Sunday 23rd March 2008 for an Easter camp.

We stayed at Fordell Firs; however the majority of the activities were off-site.

After pitching tents on the Friday evening, we went to Lochore Meadows Country Park to complete a number of team buiding challenges to start earning time that would be spent in the `Easter Egg Chamber` on the Sunday.

On the Saturday, we were transported to Edinburgh City Centre where we had to complete a large treasure hunt following clues, answering questions and taking photographs of certain places. We walked from the Botanical Gardens to Grassmarket to St Andrews Square and The Royal Mile.

On the Saturday evening, we had a "night out". After getting dressed up, we went for 3-course dinner, karaoke, dancing and a night at the races before returning to the campsite to have a campfire and a few songs but it wasn`t long before everyone was off to bed.

In the morning, the points from the various activities were converted to times that would be spent in the `Easter Egg Chamber`.

The chamber was a children`s soft play area full of red, green and blue tokens. The Explorer Scouts were blindfolded and sent in for their earned amount of time to collect as many tokens as possible.

Red tokens = 1 point
Green tokens = -1 point
Blue tokens = 10 points

The points were counted and the winning team was determined; however the Explorer Scouts were left in anticipation for a while longer!

They were sent on an Easter Egg hunt. 200 mini Cream Eggs were hidden in the woods and they got to keep what they found... some people will have very sore stomachs!!!

After this and striking camp, the results were announced and prizes given out to everybody; winners and non-winners.

A great weekend!

Curling/Ice Skating

Just when you thought it was safe to go back onto the ice.

On Wednesday 12th March

A party of 45 Explorers went to Kirkcaldy Ice Rink to have a taster session of Curling.

It was a bit strange when we were told to step on to the ice with just our trainers on, but it was very easy to walk on the ice.

The party was then split into teams of 6 or 8.

They started by learning the basics of Curling.

How to deliver a stone while still standing

How to sweep a stone while it was going down the rink.

After the basics it was down to have a mini camp of curling.

It was over 5 ends and by the end of the session a think a few were hooked and would like to have an other go.

After the curling and to finish of the evening we all put on our skates and had 45 mins ice skating.

Over all the night was a lot of fun and one that we would repeat in the near future.

Go Karts

On Friday 29th February we picked up 20 Explorers who were already thinking they were F1 Drivers.

We headed across the Bridge to Racing Karts in Livingston.

We joined Explorers from Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes & Leven.

We were split into groups and then started to do our first set of 20 laps.

It took a bit of getting use to but after a few laps the explorers were flying around the track. Once everyone had their practice then it was down to the serious business.

(Race against the clock) Every one was now fighting for a place in the final.

The Final was a scrappy affair with no one wanting to give any advantage to the others.

After a ten lap final we had our overall champion.

The results were as follows.

1st -Jordon – Glenrothes & Leven District

2nd – Marcus – Rosyth District (48th)

3rd – Shaun – Rosyth District (48th)

Well done to everyone that took part and made it such a great evening

Glenrothes Scout Group win Forth One challenge

20/11/2007
The 50th Fife Scout Group based in Glenrothes recently won the Vodafone small business challenge competition on Forth One radio which has resulted in a number of improvement works being carried out on their Scout Hall.

Forth One appealed on the radio for 6 days for local small businesses to come along and help out, and the Group had a great response with various works being carried out including landscaping (thanks to Jim’s Mowing), roof repairs, upgrading of kitchen & disabled access provisions, vestibule flooring (thanks to Floor Design), as well as internal & external painting (thanks to Norrie Kinnes).

The bathrooms at the hall will also be modernised & tiled in the next couple of months thanks to Dez from Tile In Style. This is particularly appropriate as Dez’s grandfather was the architect who designed the Scout Hall over 50 years ago and members of his family were Leaders in the 50th Scout Group in its early years.

The Group was also given donations from Focus & Hedgehogs Garden Centre & Nursery as well as receiving refreshments all day for all the workers from Wee Nabby’s Nosh.

The 50th Fife Scout Group are delighted with the work that has been done already and are looking forward to the work that will be happening in the next few months, and would like to thank Forth One, Vodafone & all the local companies for their help in improving their Scout Hall.
