CSFST Diary Dates

31/07/09 - 08/08/09 - Wings Camp (Berkshire)

NEWS

Summer 2008 will be remembered by many in the team for the time spent at Poacher camp in Lincolnshire. The weather was fantastic – although a little too hot for some, and the atmosphere and experience was just brilliant. Having some very intelligent people in the team meant we even managed to hook ourselves up with a supply or electricity all week long! The mess tent was a hub of technology, even with wireless internet access! Many evenings were spent in The Tube, with early evening entertainment and a disco for the older campers. Of course the team’s dance moves were exhausted.

The 15-strong team came together to form Shift C – the Cornwall shift, covering days, evenings and nights. Of course the day shifts were the busiest, looking after 2000 scouts and guides, with an additional 4000 Rainbows and Beavers visiting over two days. The night shifts were reasonably quiet, but weren’t without their surprises in the form of rogue sleepwalkers and sneaky scouts trying their hand at midnight trampolining.

A fantastic week was had by all, and the team are anticipating a trip to Wings 09 in Berkshire this summer.

Poacher hasn’t been the only highlight for the CSFST. The county Beaver Day was a fantastic success, with the team setting up the event ground, providing first aid, marshalling and running event basis. In October, Kernow 24 saw members of the team testing their endurance while providing assistance through a 24 hour event of constant activities and play, with just one visit from the air ambulance. 

During Spring 2008 the county Gang Show took place at Truro College, with assistance from the team for rehearsals and evening performances. Particular members were even promoted to managing the microphones and budding actors and actresses waiting in the wings.

The last eighteen months have been very successful for individuals on the team. Gold Duke of Edinburgh awards have been gained by two members, as well as a Queen’s Scout Award, complete with visits to the palace for those individuals. For one member, the residential section of the award was completed at Centenary Camp, and from then began an amazing journey joining the team.

The latest success of the team is the award of the Gilt Cross for Gallantry to the team Chairman, Mark Rosevear. Mark is the only active member in Scouting in Cornwall to receive this award. Mark is a member of the Coastguard Cliff Rescue Team, and received his award for his courageous actions during a dramatic rescue of four young people. We are all very proud of Mark.

The fellowship team have gratefully received £500 from the Scouting Trust this year, helping to purchase various equipment for the team, including tables and first aid supplies. Our thanks goes out to them.
