Welcome to the home page of 1^st Calow (St. Peter’s) Scout Group.

2008 sees the Group celebrating our 75^th Anniversary.

The Group have a number of major events taking place throughout the year to mark the occasion.

In January, the Group performed It Ain’t Half Cold Mum over two nights at the Pomegranate Theatre in Chesterfield in front of a total audience in excess of 900.

In early May Cubs, Scouts plus Canotila Explorers enjoyed a Weekend Camp together at Walesby.  On the Sunday they were joined by the Beavers and many parents/guardians and friends of the Group.

In late May the Gang Show was performed twice in one day at Calow Community Centre in a slightly truncated form under the title It Ain’t Quite as Cold Mum.  All profits from that event were presented to Calow Community Association.

October saw the Group host an  exhibition ‘75 Years Young’ over two days at St. Peter’s Church hall.  This was attended by many past group members…some from the Group’s earliest days. 

The exhibition was followed by a Service of Thanksgiving at St. Peter’s Church, during which new flags were blessed for the Cubs, Scouts and Canotila Explorers. 

The final major event to mark the anniversary is the construction of a ‘Memorial Garden’, this is currently underway with completion planned for March 2009…to mark the end of the 75^th Anniversary celebrations.

Details on the official opening of the garden will be posted in due course.
