One Night Back to Basics Camp

We will be sitting down as patrols at Scouts and deciding you menu equipment travelling and timings.

The basic idea is to sort all the equipment including your personal gear the Wednesday before so that it can be sent off to the camp site.  Then on the Saturday we will meet and using public transport make our way to the camp site with just a day sack with drink, snack and waterproof.

If you have ideas, suggestions or a thought during the week that will help with the planning you could jot it down in the chat areas (the password is 10 letters long made of leaders names and the patrol leaders 2 initials from oldest to youngest).

The Scouts have recently returned from the February Freeze Camp,  This was the first time we had tried this event at Chalfont St. Peter's PACCAR camp site.  Previous winter camp was at Gilwell in January, where we had snow and freezing temperatures.  Being a bit further away from Christmas the timing of this camp was better and the weather, the weather was almost as good as summer camp.  The food was O.K. apart from the scrambled egg!  There was a nice selection of activities and a good atmosphere generally.  We took some video as a small reminder of what we got upto.  We also try to upload photos from events and camps, power permitting as we go along to our Events Blog so call in there to see a few more photos from this and previous events. 

District Scouts Water Activities Weekend 2012 29 June to 1 July

At Longridge, Marlow, on the River Thames.

The activities for the weekend will be kayaking, sailing, open canoeing, bell boating, dragonboating, rowing, rafting, water orbs, wet games, camp-fire and, new for this year, the Basic Nautical Skills badge. All Scouts will have the opportunity to achieve this badge, and to take part in eight of the other activities over the weekend.

The costs of the weekend:

Full weekend package (including food, camping and badge): £65.00

The numbers of Scout places are limited so places will be reserved on a strictly

first-come-first-served basis.

Parental consent is required for all Scouts taking part, who must be able to swim 50 metres in light clothing, all Scouts should have adequate footwear at all times when on and off the water, and should have sunglasses, suncream, hats and long sleeves to protect them from the sun; remember: SLIP on a shirt, SLOP on some suncream, SLAP on a hat, SLURP some water; waterproofs/windproofs are always advisable, particularly if the weather looks to be inclement; everyone should ensure that they have adequate towels to dry themselves thoroughly and shower at the end of each day; any open cuts etc. should be covered with a waterproof plaster; and finally, Scouts must ensure that they have at least 10 full changes of clothes (including underwear), for obvious reasons. We will require Scouts to change clothes between sessions if they are wet and any Scout who is unable to change into dry clothes may for their own health and well-being be asked to stay off the water.

The Scouts had a good time at Scarefest again this year, the weather was kind to us and there where a few new activities that we had not done before.  The Show was amazing as usual, we tried to film the show but in all the excitement we pressed the wrong buttons and only took still pictures I have however found someone else's video on you tube that i have included here.  Our pictures can be seen here.
