Our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts all took part in the District chariot racing. Our Leaders and supporters also entered the adult races. We didn’t win anything, but a great time was had by all.

Bottle rockets
While the District chariot racing was going on, we invited spectators to make and launch bottle rockets:
Making a splash
The Scout Troop went to Fairlands Valley for an evening of canoeing, dragon boats and kayaking.

Raft racing at our family camp
The raft racing and rafting water polo at our family camp got quite competitive:

Chariots of fire
Well, OK, they weren’t quite that quick.
We tested the new chariots, built (and painted now) for the District races on 14 June. One or two good learning points were discovered!
Rounding off the half term
Half the Scout Troop were away on school trips or preparing for exams, so we abandoned the planned evening and went out for a game of rounders. It rained a bit, but we didn’t let that stop us.
Pitch in and help
Scouts went up to Bromham to help the Group pitch tents for the District Away Weekend (DAW) camp this weekend.
Parachute drop!
So you’ve just landed from the aircraft (got out of a parent’s car, in which you were driven blindfolded to an unknown location). You’ve got an idea of the rough area into which you were parachuting. Now you need to use your map-reading skills to find out where you are, and plan your route back to base (in this case, an ASL’s house, where hot dogs are on offer).
Happily, all five Patrols made it back within the planned time.
