Scout Camp Wales 2007 May 30, 2007
Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closed14 scouts and leaders are spending the Whitsun Holidays away at Scout Camp.
They left on Saturday 26th and return on Saturday 2nd June.
They are camping in Bala – Wales. On a local farm “Maesafallen” where they will spend the week working towards new scout activity badges and learning new skills and experiences.
The scouts have so far being having an enjoyable time, even with some days being very wet. Spirits are high and they now look forward to hikes as well as onsite pioneering projects and competitions.They have already built their own fires, cut their own wood and cooked their own breakfasts.
I know later in the week they will hopefully be spending a day in the life of Baden Powell 100 years ago and experiencing what he would have cooked and taught to the boy scouts on camp on Brownsea Island.
I really do hope the weather is kind to them on Thursday when the weeks highlight of the seaside visit takes place.
I can’t wait for a report of what fun they all had on their return. And hopefully some photos.

Posted by akela in : Cubs , comments closedWell to date the group have managed to collect 2726 vouchers. Which is brilliant for the whole group as this will mean we can purchase some new sports equipment as well as some scouting equipment.
Vouchers are still available until 29th May and then you MUST bring them into your section meeting ASAP so we cansend them off and order some new equipment.
The beavers and cubs have already looked at some new equipment in the catalogue so any requests then let me know.
Some stores are stating they have run out of vouchers, but if you get them to sign your receipt you can get them from anotehr store or when they get more vouchers.
Once again everyone THANK YOU and i hope we can hit the 3000 mark before the date.

The cubs enjoyed – a long hike even having a picnic on the local airfield, tracking, axe and saw, fire buillding, backwoods cooking, wide games, shelter building and we even had pool and table tennis competitions.
