Having read your notes, please note that there is no such thing as 'Boy Scouts'. Scouts is open to boys and girls. (aged 6-25) Anyone interested in joining can register on the scout website http://www.scouts.org.uk. There are three Scout Groups in Sydenham and two in Forest Hill. Scouting in Lewisha...

I first put a post on here in 2007 stating that it was a great shame that the name of this building had been changed. Now I am glad that the name was changed as I would not like the name of a good Police officer to be associated with this awful place. My sympathies go out to all who live in the area...

There are three Scout groups in Sydenham, the 2nd, 9th and 15th. If anyone is interested in joining please PM me and I will put you in touch with the relevant group. Scouting is open to boys and girls from 6-25. Likewise if anyone is interested in joining as a leader/helper PM me and I will be able ...

Probably the most succesful group in the area is the 2nd Sydenham Beavers group for boys and girls aged 6-8. The Beavers meet at St Michael's church hall, Champion crescent SE26 (next to St Michaels school) If anyone is interested in joining Beavers, Cubs or scouts, please PM me.

It's the post office customer relations team providing a facillity whilst waiting for the post office to open.

If you have children there is plenty to keep them busy. The area is served by three Scout groups, after school activities and a good library. There are a couple of football teams for youngsters and Crystal Palace is not too far away.

Contact the Lewisham pre school learning alliance on 020 8695 5955, they will be able to advise you on this and they do have a 'Dad's' coordinator, who run's activities for Dad's and children.

The Beckenham recycling centre costs £3 for non Bromley residents. They have a machine that you purchase a ticket from and then you can use the recycling centre as many times as you want on that day. A lot cheaper and quicker than driving to the Lewisham one. It's about time Lewisham got another cen...

Depending on what part of Sydenham you live in, you could try St Michael's church hall, Champion crescent, next to the church.

So that's another bit of London's history down the pan........ the section house was named after a police officer who was killed on duty. Now the memory of this officer will be lost forever and we are left with a name that means nothing!

Over recent months and probably due to the centenary of Scouting we have had quite a few enquiries for places within the Scout group. We still have a few places available, but we have a pressing need for new adult leaders. If you have couple of hours to spare each week and would like to put somethin...

What a shame that te name of the building has been changed. It was originally named Paul Breen section house after PC Paul Breen who was killed on duty.

Diddn't see your collision, but when I passed through the junction motorists were taking extra caution. This is a huge problem across London when traffic lights go out of action. Contractors and not the Police are responsible for putting up warning signs and there are simply not enough Police to go ...

If you have a couple of hours to spare a week, why not consider becoming a volunteer leader. The rewards are high and you will be making a positive contribution to the development of young people aged from 6 years onwards. The Scout association provides full training and there is also a great social...

2007 is the centenary year of Scouting and there will be lots of exciting things going on for young people. If your son/daughter would like to join, please get in touch.

2007 is the centenary year of scouting. If anyone who has a son or daughter who may like to join, please get in touch. Chris

We still have vacancies for Beavers, Cub and Scouts. Beavers meet on Tuesday's 5.15pm-6.30pm. Cubs meet from 6.45pm-8pm and Scouts meet on Wednesday evenings. Weekly sub's are only £2.50. For further information e mail me on chrise@fsmail.net

No, sorry. I am definately Chris E.

For value for money why not sign your children up with the local Scout groups. St Michael's charge £2.50 sub's per week for an exciting programme of events. 2007 is the centenary year and there is likely to be a lot of interest. Beavers meet on a tuesday 5.15pm -6.30pm and Cubs run from 6.45pm -8pm....

I agree, the last thing Sydenham needs is another pound store!
