Sunrise
First Ruxley Cubs and Scouts on Glastonbury Tor
Beavers and others joined in the ceremony on Box Hill
On Wednesday, August 1st, First Ruxley joined with Scouts around
the country and around the world to renew their promises on the 100th anniversary
of the founding of the Scout movement.
Many cubs and scouts renewed their promises at the summit of Glastonbury Tor as part of the Summer Camp, whilst Beavers
and others not at camp joined other groups from Epsom and Ewell and Dorking at the
viewpoint on Box Hill. The first
thing we did was very fun. Actually all of it was fun
and I carried the flag.
(S, Beaver aged 7).
On the 1st August I went to Box Hill for the
Scouting Sunrise. There were about four other groups there.
1st Dorking (which is one of the oldest scout groups in the
world and was opened by Baden-Powell himself) were leading
the Sunrise. We started by renewing our promises and the
Cubs did the Grand Howl. We were lucky enough for one
of the groups to have a kudu horn to blow! A leader
from 1st Dorking read out the last letter that Baden-Powell
wrote to the scouts before he died. There were then a
few investitures then the Scouting Sunrise finished and some
photographs were taken.
I am really proud of myself and I'm sure everyone else
around the world are too because this is a once in a
lifetime experience and one that I'll probably never forget.
