District Camp 2023
Soggy Camp 2023
The District Team have had an absolute blast this weekend meeting Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Leaders from across our District.
Our Young People have shown determination, resilience, tried many new things and more importantly, had FUN!
The theme for the weekends camp was “Night at the Movies”
Over the weekend we have seen a dinosaur playing football, an alien carrying a child, the actual stay puff man, we have played inflatable hungry human hippos, had a go at the climbing wall, carved soap, made water rockets and armpit fudge (surprisingly tasty) had a go at archery and rifle shooting and lots more…..
Oh and Rain !!!! Plenty of Rain !!!
