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

Posted on May 23, 2014 by David Rossall

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.

DAW

The feedback we’ve had so far is that everyone had a great time at DAW…..the weather was very good to us, maybe a bit too hot at times but we couldn’t have asked for better.

Thanks to ALL the help we got as a group: drivers to/from Bromham, equipment movers, setting-up, striking camp, escorts and camp cooks. Without your help, we couldn’t have attended DAW anywhere as successfully.

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!

Posted on May 8, 2014 by David Rossall

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.
