The following report has been written by the 1st Stotfold Ridgway Scout Troop Scout Shout Newsletter Team.

Music Activity Weekend
On the 12th and 13th of April 03 a selection of scouts came to the scout hut for a music activity weekend. On the Saturday morning a women came to teach us some line dancing. Some of the scouts didn’t like it but say (a quote from Jamie S) “it was fun! ”
After the dancing we got into groups of about 4 to make our own songs. The best song by far was called Killer Cat and was created by, Daniel C, Jamie S, Jonathan B and me (Ben R). You can download this and many other songs on our website www.stotfoldscouts.org.uk.
In the afternoon the whole scout troop recorded our own song and video, which was, help by the Beatles.
In the evening all the groups came back at different times to record their own songs. Remember all of the songs and the radio show can be downloaded at www.stotfoldscouts.org.uk.
On the Sunday we all made our radio shows which were aired in the evening.
In a conclusion of my report, Tom D says, “ Avril Lavigne is fit!” ‘What kind of conclusion is that?’ (Tom.)
