New Term at Scouts

Posted on August 15, 2016 by Nigel

The new term at scouts starts on Friday 9th September – more information will be going out via email and in the password protected parts of the website. The first competition of the year is on Sunday 9th October – Day Prowl – which is a district incident hiking challenge. I need to know right at the start of term who is up for this – teams of 4 to 7 scouts – we should be able to make up 3 or more teams to take part in this to build on our performance in the night hike earlier in the year…

Summer Camp – over for another year

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Nigel

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.

Borough Camp 2016

Posted on July 4, 2016 by Nigel

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
