We are making amazing progress towards the show. Mandy (our choreographer) has finished teaching the first half of the show to the main cast. They only still need to rehearse it a bit more till it's perfect for opening night.

We had a great time this weekend at our Show in a Day. The Rehearsals for the Show in November will partially be starting in June. All scouts (Beavers up to Leaders) in the SWD can join the cast. To find out more contact Moira Fletcher.
Creative Arts Workshops & Rehearsals starting
28th March 2019
The Creative Arts workshops that have been held recently across South Western District for Cubs, Scouts and Explorers have been a great success. They have shown a lot of excitement for our Show in a Day on May 12th. Our rehearsals for Gang Show 2019 start in June for main Gang (Scouts, Explorers and Leaders), and then after the summer Cub Gang rehearsals start up as well. We will be running Creative Arts workshops for Beavers in the District around September, from which we will find our Beaver Gang for a few rehearsals before the show.
Between shows
1st March 2019
Even though rehearsals for next year haven’t started that doesn’t mean nothing is going on! In January we met up with most of last year’s cast for costume returns and having a chat about this year’s show. And in February some of the cast performed at the Annual General Meeting of the South Western District Scout Council.
Thank you!
19th November 2018

See some of the progress here.
