3rd Hampton Scout Group

Summer camp was, yet again, blessed with great weather for most of the week and the few scouts that went enjoyed a week full of activities and fun, between them they did, zip wire, laser tag, abseiling, kayaking, various inflatables (assault course, bungee run, giant slide, gladiator, sweeper, slippery slope) as well as archery, air rifle, fire lighting, rope-a-phobia, quad biking, pedal cars, water wars, journalism, coconut tree climb, gyroscope, aeroball and the Tolmers incident hike.

In the evenings they enjoyed their own small campfires as well as watching a few of the movies on offer, finishing off with the Disco/foam party on Friday night.

Here’s hoping that we can get a lot more scouts there next to have a similar action packed week.

Well done to all the 15 scouts that attended Borough camp this year – everyone played their full part and we were very worthy runners up in the football competition and performed well in the Tug of War (rounders and volleyball clearly not our thing….).

All the scouts should be very proud of how well behaved they were and how they all got stuck in to the various task asked of them, pitching and striking their tents, loading and unloading the van and doing their fair share of camp chores, washing up, sawing/chopping wood etc.

Still time, if you’ve got the camp bug and want more, to join up for a week of great activities at Summer Camp (link here to the activities on offer at Tolmers http://www.tolmers.org.uk/activities.php

Just let me know ASAP all the information is in the Camps section.

Photos from camp should be on Flickr soon

If you are booked on either of these camps please see the new information in the Camps section and action ASAP.

If you haven’t booked but want to attend either – we still have space on both.

12 Scouts enjoyed a lovely weekend of water activities at this annual District Camp – taking part in Sailing, Canoeing, Pulling, raft building, kayaking, dragon boating and some challenges on land as well.

Photos will soon all be on Flickr.

Only 3 weeks to Family Camp and 4 to Borough Camp……

Well done to our team for finishing the 8 mile route in some damp, dark and foggy conditions – only a couple of “detours”. They finished 20th out of 42 teams – a very good performance for our first time in the event – roll on next year!!

The scouts also camped overnight and managed to set up and strike camp in record time and working well as a team – well done, you should be very proud of what you’ve achieved.
