In that time, we\u2019ve started the Fitness Challenge badge as a Troop and this will be completed in two weeks. We\u2019ve had a martial arts evening, competed in the District Archery competition and been climbing. The Creative Challenge has also been started and this will take a few weeks for the Scouts to complete.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">We\u2019ve now got a week off as it\u2019s half term and many of the Scouts (including me this year) go away, but on the weekend of Halloween, we\u2019re out camping at the same time as the Cubs! This is a good camp as we go with our friends from 99th Berry Hill Cub Pack and as it\u2019s close to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Guy_Fawkes_Night\" target=\"_blank\">Bonfire Night<\/a>, we always have a firework display on the Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Then when we\u2019re back, it\u2019s finish off the Fitness and Creative Challenge badges, have a special commemorative night on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Remembrance_day\" target=\"_blank\">Remembrance Day<\/a> and hopefully get the Fire Service to come in and do the Fire Safety badge and the Police to talk about knives in the community, have a special football match 100 years to the day the Scout Troop played a local team and then it\u2019s the Christmas Party!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Oh, yes I forgot, we also invested five new Scouts last week and three more after our week off.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Where\u2019s the Autumn gone?
