Beach cleaning
On Sunday, the 1st of July 07, the district had organized beach
cleaning from the beach opposite the zoo till just past the Enaerio
area. There was quite a good turn out of Cubs, Scouts and
Explorer Scouts. Walking on the bicycle path the Cubs and Scouts
picked up every little bit of rubbish they could see and put it in their
bin bags. Half way there our groups Chairman bought us all ice
creams that were left over from the fete. It was then that we met the
Mayor who congratulated us on helping. After showing the Cubs
who the Mayor was we all crowded round him and posed for a
picture! Finally at 11am we finished at the Holiday Inn Hotel.

A successful finish to the Re-cycling Project.
The project that started in January 2007 has
finished. In total the Explorers managed to raise
£200 from recycling of Cans. A donation of £400
from the Hobson family in memory of Kenneth
Hobson, who supported their cause, was
presented to the Explorers at the Christmas
Dance on the 8th Dec. This brought the total to
£600 which was enough for two Morphology
Mattresses from Procopiou Medi Shop who also
gave a good discount to help our cause.
Finally on Sunday 9th Dec the Explorers
presented the two mattresses to the Cyprus
Cancer Association and Freinds.

Beach Cleaning for The Day of the Sea
On Sunday 28th September 2008 Cubs , Scouts and Explorers
from the 53rd took part in the beach cleaning that started the
Celebrations for The Day of the Sea. At 10.00am they were
supplied with gloves and bags and started cleaning the beach
opposite the Public Gardens and headed east toward Enaerios.
They managed to fill quite a few bags and found most of the
rubbish was cigarette butts.
They then returned to the start where drinks were waiting for them
and a Local Camera crew interviewed some of our Scouts.
Overall it was a very successful Event of the 53rd.

Volunteer Work at the Happy Valley Stables 3rd Oct 2009.
Today we went to the stables to do our service to the community. We had to be
at the scout hut at 9 but we didn't leave until quarter past. We got to the stables
at around 9:30 and put in our groups to clean the horse manure out of the
stables into the wheel barrows, which went straight to the huge pile of
manure!! After about 2 hours we had a little break and drank some water. Then
4 of us had to go and double check the stables to see if theres no more poo
there while the rest of us cleaned the hay that was all over the floor. When we
had finished we fed the horses apples that a lady who owned one of them, left
for us. At the end of it all, our parents came to pick some of us up while the rest
of us went back to the scout hut. Overall it was a really exciting experience, and
I had so much fun that i named the white horse Blondie, after me!!

A lot of Community Service.
In total over two months, April and May 2010, the group participated
in 7 Community Service events. Right and below are the events.
These activities are very important for the 53rd and the Limassol
Scouting District and is a way to get more support and publicity for
Scouting and hopefully open some doors in the Community.
