Fireworks Spectacular 2017

A massive thank you to all the people who made this year’s Firework Spectacular the most successful yet.

Naomi Booth :: Tuesday 7th November 2017

A special thank you to Chris, Bronia and all the team in the shop and John, Neil and Andrew at Clark the Butchers for selling the tickets in advance. This means we raise funds before the evening and makes sure discounted tickets are available for members of the local community. Of course the evening can only happen with the kind support of Steve and Lee at Church Farm Campsite, who have allowed the use of their field for last 15 years. Then there are over 60 volunteers on the night; running the car park, working the gate, cooking burgers and pulling the pints.

60th Anniversary

On Saturday 8th, 1st Woodcutts Scouts marked the 60th anniversary of the founding of the group with a special day of celebrations.

Naomi Booth :: Saturday 23rd September 2017

The event began with a parade through the village of Sixpenny Handley, followed by a well-attended church service at St. Mary's Church where John Curtis, who founded the group as a 13 year old boy and is still regularly involved, spoke very movingly about how proud he is of the group's growth and achievements, and how it still plays such a central role in the local community.

During the first May Bank Holiday 170 members of Woodcutts Scout Group had a fantastic three days of fun, friendship and adventure at Buddens Scout Centre, near Wareham. This was our 5th Family Camp and was simply the best one yet!

Carols 2016

This year the members of Woodcutts held the annual carol service at the Ancient technology Centre in Cranborne.

Chris Booth :: Sunday 1st January 2017

This was a truly unique setting for a truly unique celebration. The service was lead by Vicar Mel, with each section taking an active part in the afternoon.

Remembrance Sunday 2016

On a bright November morning 88 members of 1st Woodcutts Scouts met at the Town Farm workshop and then paraded up the High Street, following ex- serviceman, to the War Memorial.

Naomi Booth :: Tuesday 15th November 2016

The Scouts laid a wreath they had made themselves to remember the fallen and the Beavers created a wish chain earlier in the week when they visited the Church with Vicar Mel. With so many members on parade it showed just how strong Scouting is in Sixpenny Handley and that the young people wanted to remember those who had lost their lives in the past in order for us to have the freedom we enjoy now.
