A big thank you to the members of the Parc Management Team who gave up part of their Easter break to give our car park some much needed attention!
Various debris was removed and undergrowth tamed. The outside was also spruced up with our curb stones repainted and our iconic gates, which have spent ages displaying their grey undercoat, are now back to a brilliant shade of green. Thanks to all involved.
Sadly over the last few months we heard the sad news of the passing of Cyril Hardwick & Betty Harrision; two people who gave endless amount of time, effort and resources to the Scout Association and the Parc.
Yesterday, the Parc Management team were in full attendance to receive two young trees dedicated to their memory. They have been planted in the lawns at the front of the lodge where they can flourish and remind us all of these two kind and caring people.
A big thank you to the dozen or so leaders from the district who gave up part of last weekend to help clean up and organise the Parc. Your support is greatly appreciated!
We’re busy getting the Parc ready for the main camping season starting in March, but over the weekend we managed to pause briefly and capture this panorama of the main field. With the sun shining so brightly, apart from the bare trees, you could hardly tell it was winter!
We’re pleased to announce that Linda Terrell, Group Scout Leader of 1st Abercarn has agreed to look after the distribution of activity badges for the CRAI District.
There are currently over 2200 badges in stock covering all sections and awards and starting from Friday 24th February badges can be collected from Linda at Islwyn Scout Parc between 12.30pm & 2:30pm every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month.
Should your group be undertaking a particular badge it is advisable to contact Linda before completion and advise her of quantities you require to ensure that there are enough in stock to meet your requirements.
To contact Linda please email the parc warden (parcwarden@talktalk.net) who will forward your details on. Please remember to include your name, group, section, and phone number. Thanks.
The ISP Web Team are still busy building up the Islwyn Scout Parc presence online. Hot on the heels of our new website & blog we’re pleased to announce that we are now also on Facebook.
Soon we will have linked them together so you can keep up to date with developments at the Parc whichever method you use. In the meantime you can access our facebook page via the link below. Please head over there and “like” our page for all the latest developments.
Welcome to the new home of Islwyn Scout Parc on the Internet!
A few months ago our website disappeared as our hosting company went into administration. Since then we have decided not to opt for a traditional website, but have instead created a new home here on Tumblr. This provides us with a number of benefits, with the main one being able to keep our information completely up to date.
All of our important information about the Parc that you may require is available here including links to our booking form, and terms and conditions. These can be accessed via the buttons on the right, under our image of the Parc.
We will be tweaking the design and features over the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime if you have any questions please get in touch via the ‘Contact Us’ page. Thank you for viewing our site, we look forward to seeing you at the Parc.
Yours in Scouting
Islwyn Scout Parc Web Team
