The Scouts have come back from a weekends camping at Consall with 12th Golden Hill Scouts.
I couldn’t go out for the full weekend, so I went to see them on the Saturday. Typically it was a lovely weekend and didn’t rain once!
The idea of the camp was to improve their backwoods skills so, on the Friday night they made their own shelters by using groundsheets and canvas.
Then on Saturday after starting their fires and cooking breakfast they made new shelters, but this time from branches, ferns and a bit of string. A couple of the Scouts found something interesting in the trees – take a look at the video!
Our friends from Golden Hill came along as they had little experience of this type of camping and were interested in learning! In fact, it lead nicely on from the night when we went to show their Scouts how to use knives and axes properly.
Great Video! Looked like a fantastic time camping.. but all camping is Fantastic!!!
Nicely done Nick.
Nice! Looks like you had a wonderful time! Cassie’s group was out last weekend, and it was a really cold September weekend, almost frosty over night, so some of the kids were slightly cold, but the days were absolutely smashing!
Mike is going out with the Explorers (he’s just gone up from Tracker’s) this weekend. They’re sleeping indoors though.
