GSL CHALLENGE : Have you got Spring in your step?

Dear Parent

You may have seen across social media yesterday, ITV Channel promoted “Puddle Jumping”, in order to raise some money towards Cancer Research. This is in support of local journalist Gary Burgess, and his recent diagnosis of cancer.

Please click on this link for more details.

As Scouts we LOVE to be outside, albeit at the moment we cannot be together due to Covid guidelines. Therefore, the 3rd, 6th, 9th & 23rd Jersey Scout Groups are starting 2021 on a positive and are once again joining together to help raise money for this worthwhile cause.

Being outside is good for everyone's mental health - so take the time and get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Monday, 18th January is "dubbed" as Blue Monday, so lets wash those Blues Away next week.

What you need to do:

Grab your neckerchief (to show you are a member of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 23rd Scout Group) and good footwear – wellies, boots etc.
Go outside or go on a walk and find a muddy puddle - There will be plenty over the next couple of days! At any point before the deadline BEFORE Saturday, 23rd January
All Sections: If you go for a walk / ramble "longer" than 2 hours as part of your puddle jumping search, let us know separately as this counts toward your Staged Hike badge.
Beavers - Explore Badge - look what you need to complete this badge. Just by going out and asking your Beaver some of the questions on the link, will tick some boxes! Upload evidence via Badges At Home and Explore Badge.

Jump in a puddle and make a splash!
Get the whole family (and dog) involved - Who doesn't love a puddle!
Take a photo of your Beaver, Cub, Scout, Young Leader or adult leaders jumping in the puddle. Would be good to see an "action shot" with a good splash. If you do not wish to show your child's face, that is fine!
Make a donation to Cancer Research, for as little as £1, or for as much as you wish - every penny helps.
Make a donation via this page - Jumping in Puddles for Cancer | Get Those Wellies On... (jumpinapuddle.co.uk)
We are only asking members to make a minimum donation of £1, which we think this achievable for most of our members.

Confirmation screenshot of the donation to Cancer Research
We will make a montage of all the puddle jumpers across the 4 Groups and post online. We will send an email to all those who have accepted the event when complete, so you can view the video.
We will tick off some elements of badgework for your child, as it ticks so lots of elements!
Please can you email your photo and confirmation of donation back by 18.00, Saturday, 23rd January 2021. We want to make a big impact across the Island and show that Scouting is still alive!

We will of-course be messaging ITV Channel TV to advise we are pulling this together. Across the 4 Groups we have over 400 members .... so hopefully we will gain some good publicity.

We look forward to receiving your fun, muddy photos as soon as possible!

Happy puddle jumping!

Kind regards

Hayley, Evelyn, Iain & Elisabeth

Group Scout Leaders

3rd, 6th, 9th, 23rd Jersey

Get those wellies out the cupboard and go Puddle Jumping!
Please check your emails for details of our Puddle Jumping Challenge!
We look forward to seeing lots of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and families jumping in puddles!
