In the UK, camping in snowy weather is somewhat unusual these days and we don\u2019t get the same opportunities to do so as, for example, SM Jerry\u2019s Troop<\/a>. However, the Scouts from my Troop are currently at a weekend camp and are surrounded by snow. As should be expected, they have gone fully prepared for the weather and from what I hear they are all having a great time. I\u2019m just rather disappointed that I wasn\u2019t able to join them this time! I\u2019m looking forward to the photos though.<\/p>\n

As well as my Troop camping this weekend, another camp has gone ahead and has been reported in the national media. The country is having problems with the current weather situation with much transport disrupted and many schools being closed. However, the Winter Camp<\/a> at Gilwell has gone ahead! The BBC sent a reporter<\/a> there and it would appear that he had to be helped by a Scout when the batteries in his recording equipment ran out! <\/p>\n

All this proves that if you are prepared for the adverse conditions, a fun and, most importantly, safe time can be had!<\/p>\n

If you want to read more about being prepared for cold weather camping (albeit with a backpacking slant), I cannot recommend SM Jerry\u2019s blog<\/a> highly enough.<\/p>\n
