50th Birthday Celebrations
31st March 2016
The 8th Faversham Sea Scout Group celebrated their 50th Birthday and 100 years of Cubs on Saturday 9th April 2016 with a "Tea Party" in the afternoon and a "Pot Luck Supper Dance" in the evening with music provided by a local band, Flawless Carbon, which includes former Troop members.
A large number of current members of the Group and their families were joined by former members of the Group to share experiences, memories and show memorabilia of the last 50 years and look forward to the next 50 years.
There were loads of photographs, in colour and black and white, of camps, expeditions, the building of the HQ, old trophies, faded newspaper cuttings, hand written log books, old scouting books, invoices and quotations, all to bring back memories.
A high point of the afternoon was the cutting of a very special iced birthday cake made by a one of the current Scout Mum.
