Charlton Kings Scouts ask past members to get in touch!
Sunday, 27 September 2009
On 15 February 2010, Charlton Kings Scouts will celebrate 100 years of scouting in the village.
The group is planning to celebrate their Centenary with a reunion event in February and would like past members to get in contact.
Group Scout Leader Julien LePlain said ‘we would really like our Centenary celebrations to be something special. There are not many Groups who can claim to have operated continuously for 100 years without a break, even through both wars. We are trying to contact as many past members of the group as possible to join our celebrations along with current members of the Group’.
‘We hope to put on a big display showing a century of scouting in Charlton Kings with photos and accounts of each decade. It will also be a fantastic opportunity to promote what we do today: the group has gone from strength to strength and we now have two Beaver Colonies, three Cub Packs, two Scout Troops and we host the ‘No Name!’ Explorer section as well. With around 200 members, including 25 leaders, we are very proud to be the largest youth group in Cheltenham.
If you were a member of the group or know of anyone who was and would like to come to the event, or perhaps have any old photos or memories or records of the group we could use in our display, please contact Julien on 01242 234006 or email him on .

Cheltenham District Cub Chess
Wednesday, 03 December 2008
Twenty eight Cubs from all over Cheltenham (1st Cheltenham - Highbury, 7th Cheltenham - Charlton Kings, 10th Cheltenham - All Saints, 24th Cheltenham - Leckhampton and 45th Cheltenham - Bethesda) all took part in the District Chess competition this year, held a Highbury Church Hall. Competition was strong. Leckhampton Cubs came in first team place with second place taken by a joint Leckhampton and Bethesda team and in joint third place were Charlton Kings Monday and Tuesday Cubs.
Jake Billingham (24th) took individual first place, in second place were Joseph Hordern and Frazer Thomas (24th) and in joint third place were Rory Murfitt (45th)and Oscar Harvey (10th).
Everyone appeared to have a good time and we look forward to repeating the event next year.
I made spaghetti for my family. I used the following method:
I chopped one onion into small pieces then browned them in a frying pan with a little oil for ten minutes. I then added some minced beef and slowly stewed it until it had browned. I then added some tomato puree and a tin of chopped tomatoes. I mixed it all together with a crumbled ‘Oxo’ cube, left it all to simmer on a low heat for one hour so I boiled a pan of water and added a little salt and a couple of drops of oil. I cooked the spaghetti for 10 minutes then added the Bolognaise.
