Paracord bracelets and key rings for sale

Sarah Bishop and Katie (Beaver) have been making paracord bracelets and key rings. Katie started making them for her Creative Challenge Badge and thought that selling them might be a good way to raise funds for the Scout Group.

Our bracelets typically have approximately 5 feet of para cord in them, so are handy to keep with you “just in case”. If the need arises, you could unravel the bracelet and use it for all sorts of things.

You may have noticed some of the more “dapper” leaders wearing them on pack nights. If you’re thinking to yourself, “How I can I look that good?”, then maybe a paracord bracelet is the answer. 😉 If a bracelet is out of the question, you might like one of the key rings instead. We have different colours available as shown in the gallery below.

Paracord bracelets are £3.00 each and key rings are £1.50 or £1.00 depending on size). There’ll be a pricelist on the wall in the Church hall from next Friday but feel free to download a copy if you want to put it up elsewhere.

To order, ask Richard (Bagheera) on a Friday night, send an email to richard@bish.co.uk or get in touch via the Facebook Group (search for “2nd Ramsbottom”). We’ll need to know your wrist size if you want a bracelet as well as your colour choice.

 

Badge Camp – January 2013

For those of you who attended badge camp in January, we thought that you might like to see the videos that we took from inside the Pack Holiday Centre. There are three videos, one each for Friday night, Saturday and then Sunday morning.

See if you can spot your own Cub or Beaver in the clips!

Friday night
Beaver sleepover

Saturday
Beavers leave, Cubs arrive and start their activities.

Sunday morning
Packing up (after rolling around in sleeping bags!)

 

Highlights…
I particularly like these stills where GSL Janice Butterworth realises that she’s being filmed!
