Family Quiz Night
01/03/2009 by webmaster.
The 1st Maldon All Saints Scout Group held their annual Family Quiz night on Saturday 28th February.
It was a complete sell out. Parents, friends and young members supported the evening. Prizes were awarded to the various winners with spot prizes given throughout the evening.
The questions were set by Siobhan Gower and the Quiz master for the evening was Keith Gower. Many thanks to both for helping to make this evening a huge success.
We now look forward to our next event, a Family prize Bingo evening on the 21st March eyes down at 7.30pm.

Group Family Beetle Drive
26/01/2009 by webmaster.
Many thanks to all who supported the Family Beetle Drive last Saturday. The headquarters was full of eager parents and young people who soon got into the swing of things with dice being thrown and ‘Beetle’ being shouted when the drawing was complete. Prizes were awarded for the best drawn Beetle in the Adult Section and also in the Younger section, prizes were also given to the ‘oldest / youngest’ top and bottom scorer.
Lets hope you can all come and fill the house at the Family Quiz in February.
Hope to see you all then. GSL

Merlin Troop’s Summer Camp 2008
11/10/2008 by webmaster.
1st Maldon’s Summer Expedition.
1st Maldon Merlin Scout Troop and Explorers
travelled to Silver Cross Scout Centre Llangyfelach
Swansea from the 26th July for their Summer Camp.
We had camped at this site in 2006 but this time 50%
of our party were first timers.
The site has good camping grounds and the Indoor
accommodation, which we had, caters for 40 people.
Apart from the usual facilities ie showers, we had
fridge , freezer, and for the first time a dishwasher,
although the scouts did not get away with it all. A
laundry room with washing machine and tumble
dryers were also available to campers.
We participated in all the usual on-site activities,
archery, shooting, pioneering , various wide games
and camp fires. Abseiling was booked but the rain
did not stop for play !!
Off-site we made visits to and had guided tours of
Aberdulais Falls ( National Trust)
where we held our Scouts Own and Sam Gower was
Invested into the Troop with a backcloth of the falls.
Our next visit was to the new Leisure Centre
Swansea which was opened in March by the Queen
which included, swimming, flumes and the scouts
tried their skills on the surfrider.
A visit to the Pemberton’s Chocolate Factory was a
must, ( a very good visit and interesting talk ) with a
chance to try samples and to decorate your own
chocolate.
A guided tour around the Welsh National Wool
Museum proved to be excellent with
our guides opening up and running the various
machinery.
We also attended the National Museum of Childhood
where the owners collection over many years was all
displayed.
A special trip wasmade to theNational Showcaves Centre
for Wales where the scouts and Explorers visited
the ‘Bone’ cave ; ‘Cathedral Cave’and the Dan-yr-
Ogof Cave.
The weather was very hot for the first four days but
then the rain came, it was like a Monsoon. However
this did not detract from everyone having a good
time.
07.00 on Friday saw the Troop challenging the
muddiest and wettest assault course I have ever
seen. At the conclusion a cold shower, direct from
the hose pipe, was needed before they were allowed
into the hot showers….all finished in time for
breakfast.
We were lucky and the sun came out on Friday
afternoon just in time for our ‘Beach sandcastle
Competition’
In all 26 of us had yet another very good summer
Camp.
