Ned stormed to second place in the over 9.5.

14th Beavers, Cubs and Scouts Swim to Victory!

Last night we saw another great swimming performance by the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts of the 14th!

Our Beavers set the tone with a win in the Beavers final, and competititive swims from all our Beavers. Our Cubs reclaimed the Cub District Swimming Trophy from a strong team from the 22nd and, once more, our Scouts swept the board, winning both the under 12 and the over 12 trophies. The 14th claimed the overall Group Championship.

Very well done to everyone who took part! Please check out the photos on flickr.

Another Victory for the Scout Troop – Raft Race

[simage=177,200,n,left,left] 14th Highfield scouts seem to be making a habit of winning! Joined by various other scout groups in the district, we pioneered a raft out of barrels, poles and plenty of rope. Powered by four scouts with four make-shift oars, we paddled ourselves into victory! Not only did we win the overall competition, we ended up totally undefeated in every single race! Congratulations to all that took part!

Scouts Six-a-Side 2010

The Southampton City District annual six-a-side football competition took place between six troop teams at the sports centre on Saturday 8th May 2010. I am delighted to report that after a tough competition, the 14th emerged victorious and in style with a 5-1 win in the final! Well done team!

Fabulous 14th Footballers

Ok, so we didn’t win the trophy – the 22nd beat the 2nd on penalties in the final – but our Cubs showed plenty of commitment, determination and skill.

Our A team (Panthers) took part in a series of closely fought games, with memorable goals from Toby and an unconventional but very well deserved goal from Ned.

Our B team (Pumas) showed fantastic spirit – playing against older and bigger Cubs, they never gave up and kept fighting right to the final whistle in every game.

In the end it wasn’t the 14th’s year but the Leaders and Parents were really proud of the way our Cubs conducted themselves. Well done to all our Cub footballers – and here’s looking to next year!

Another Victory for the Cross-Country Team



The group was well represented in the district cross country competition, with one beaver (Gregory, who came 4th – congrats), four cubs and five scouts. The cubs came third overall in the under 9.5yrs section, and the scouts triumphed and won the group trophy for both under 12s and over 12s – congratulations!

Congratulations to Ned from the cubs team who came third in his age range, and to Dodi, Thomas and Ben for their great efforts.

Finn and Chris E did amazingly well in the under 12s – Finn grabbed first place in the final 3 metres, and Chris came 4th, with nobody behind him for a long way!

Peter came first in the over 12s, with Thomas and Joe crossing the line shortly afterwards!
