On Friday the 31st of October, the 29th Immaculata Scouts enjoyed an evening of Halloween fun from making Human Mummys to Apple Bobbing. During this evening they also had a go at Pumpkin Carving, using 6 Pumpkins that Sainsbury’s in Portswood had kindly donated to us free of charge.
These turned out with all different kinds of design in which some are shown below.
We were also kindly donated a rather large pumpkin as well, in which took three leaders to pick up! It was grown in an allotment and its weight was a good 15 stone (210Lb)! After taking out the middle with a spade and brickie’s trowel, we were ready for carving.
Many thanks to Margaret and Peter for kindly donating us this large pumpkin and below is how it turned out.

Of course it would not be right if we did not light up the pumpkin to see how well it worked!

Many thanks to Karen in Sainsbury’s at Portswood and Margaret and Peter for their kind donations.
Good fun was had by all and we’re looking forward to doing some think similar next year.
Yours in Scouting,
