08 August 1992 to 26 December 2011

Participated in the 2011 World Scout Jamboree as International Service Team Member.

Was the first Beaver Leader of 9th Harare Scout Group. Beaver Brown (BB) will be sadly missed by all.

What she liked about scouting:-

"You get to know people what they like or
dislike, you get more friends. At scouting you hear lots of interesting stories."

Welldone to the 9th EH Wolves!!!!

We’ve done it again. The 9^th Harare EHCH Wolves Patrol came out 2^nd in the Mashonaland Provincial Patrols Competition at Cleveland Park. Many thanks to members of staff at Emerald Hill for the continuous support. The Scouts went in with bubbling confidence and what a way to show it. A special well-done goes to Sean the “The Sheep” and APL Anari. Keep it up guys. Our cubs took part in the Jumbo as non contesting sixes and really had fun.

The junior leaders from 9^th also attended and participated in many events thanks guys! Now we’re looking towards the Nationals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to 9th Cubs & Scouts as well as 126th Scouts for coming out tops in the district soccer comp.

District Shield

The District Scout competition was held Sunday 19 June and congratulations to the Scouts, as they did well. Sables (126th St Joseph's) came second, Wolves third and Rhinoes fourth. This means Sables and Wolves go through to the provincial competition, Chancellor's Cup, next term. Well done all.

D-Day 12 June 2011,

2011 Mashonaland Cooking Comp (12 June 2011)

Whilst others cooked, some judged and others climbed rocks! Yes we went, we participated and we won prices. Well done to all the special beavers, cubs, scouts and leaders.

Well Done - Provincial Cooking Competition

Yesterday was the annual Cooking Competition. Chancellor’s Cup and Jumbo may be officially more important, but Cooking Comp is the most interesting. And well done to all the Cubs, Scouts and Leaders. We came second in the Cubs, fourth in the Scouts and second overall – in the whole province. Well done everyone as all your points contributed. Congratulations also to Bond and Kudzie who were invested by the Deputy Chief Commissioner after the competition – all our leaders are in uniform now!

more cooking practice pictures

We had several enjoyable cooking practices this term. Sunday 12th is the Cooking Competition which we are all looking forward to.

2nd Cooking Practice 2011

Takudzwa Mujuru - my best activity at scouts

As a scout I mostly enjoy competing tasks.

Mostly teamwork is needed and it is hard when everyone has his own idea.

At the end nothing is done and time is running out.

I've learnt that in every task it is important to plan before acting.

The next step is to achieve the goal as a team,

with everyone sticking to the plan.

At the end as a TEAM

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More.

Lloyd Nyakuyaka - scouting exprience

TO BE TRULY honest.......
Scouting from the day I joined the movement i truly didn't expect to have so much fun 'n' to meet so many people - i still looked foward to have MORE in general.

I was so glad that my tests to be coming a true scout weren't that hard to deal with. I PASSED them within two blessed weeks.

After a couple of months a was selected APL for the first time in my life. It felt

so good leading 'n' telling seven or eight members what to do and how to do it, getting instructions from the troop leaders.

My greatest achievement was in 2008 - the day i was chosen to be one of those who would be representing Zimbabwe at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden 2011 if i continued working hard.

LOYALTY and COMMITMENT have brought me thus far in scouting.

AT the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden we as Zimbabweans want to show the world hat we are a loving and caring people

with love

Lainah Machemba - my scouting experience

I like scouting because I get to meet new people, make friends, visit a lot of places and most of all I get to learn a lot of things such as first aid and cooking.

Laida Mwara - My Scouting Experience

From the first day i went for scouting i realized that i was in the right place.
I've learnt how to deal with obstacles and how to communicate with people not only at scouts but also in the community.
The thing I like most about scouts is you feel at home, you also get a chance to interact with new and different people.
I have also experienced good and bad times of which i understand, things like this happen in life.

As an IST member I expect to have fun and work hard and hope to know ways to react to situations that i face with the youngsters at the 22nd world jamboree.

End of 2011 Term 1

The 1^st of April meeting will signify the end of the 2011 first term and the beginning of the school holidays. A fun program has been lined for all on this evening.

From the 15^th to the 18^th of April, our scouts who will be travelling to Sweden in July this year will be attending a preparation camp. The Scouts who will be part of the 2011 Zimbabwe Contingent are :- Lloyd Nyakuyaka, Takudzwa Mujuru, Tatenda Rateiwa, Laidah Mwale and Lainah Machemba. They will fly our nation’s flag high at this year’s Jamboree.

When the second term commences, the first major event that we will be preparing for is the Cooking Competition. Year in year out, this is the event that all the children look forward to. Funding permitting, all Cub Scouts and Scouts will take part in this year’s Cooking Competition.

Another major highlight for the coming term is the Annual camp in Nyanga which will be held in August.

First joint meeting

We are now running with: Troop: The combined troop has 19 Scouts, with three patrols: Wolves (9th), Rhinos (9th) and Sables (126th). Pack: The Pack (9th only) has 10 cubs in two sixes. Colony: The Colony (9th only) has 3 Beavers.

Krienke & Dendera on the 20th of March

Well the annual first aid comp came and is gone. The Adjudicators were happy with the progress that the youths in Scouting have made. 9^th Harare EHCH Scout Group participated as well as 126^th St Josephs. This was our first competition on our own and gave us the platform to assess what we have been doing for the last couple of weeks.

Am very happy that the Scouts participated, had fun and learnt something. Hopefully they can keep the skills learnt and enrich their lives. Next is the cooking competition but before we get there loads of fun & learning by doings is in store.

First meeting at a new venue

Today we hold our first group meeting @ 96^th Kensington Scout Hall, Lezard Avenue, Milton Park.

Next week St Joseph’s will start joining us for combined group meetings.

Commence blog...

Let's see how this goes. The idea is all Leaders, Scouts and Cubs can post, so we create an ongoing newsletter of what we are up to at the 9th, talk about events, camps and outings... ..and celebrate achievements.
