Scouts Winter Camping at -6 Degrees!

Another successful Winter Camp at Tolmers Scout Camp near Cuffley saw overnight temperatures down to minus six degrees! All Scouts and leaders coped very well and a fun packed weekend was had by all. Indeed it was a bit chilly, but there was less mud than on previous years - mud is definitely better when frozen!!!

There were lots of activities available to keep everyone busy including, archery, air rifles, climbing walls, laser tag, quad bikes, dodgems, waltzer, crazy golf, and loads more......

Despite the cold temperatures there were plenty of smiling faces - nobody complained of being cold! Our spirits were kept high by a very cheery leadership team, and our bellies well stoked with excellent hot meals supplied by Mark and his catering crew.

Our party of 73 was our biggest Winter Camp yet and we were pleased to share it with, our friends from Liphook Explorers, 124th Nottingham, and Heath & Reach Scouts. With Buzzards Scouts camping just across the field from us it was a great friendly weekend. Thank you all for you help and friendship.

Special thanks to Mark for master-minding the food, and all leaders and adult helpers for your support. You made it happen again!!

Children In Need Cake Sale

Entrepreneur Scout Bradley B organised a Cake Sale this morning in aid of Children In Need. For the last three weeks he has been canvassing support from all sections, leaders and parents. He even managed to get a mention on local radio and in the local paper! A massive effort from all involved has raised a tremendous £210 for a very worthy charity. WELL DONE BRADLEY!!

There were other Scouting activities for the children to do while making their purchases, such as tin can cooking, making gadgets, knots and lashings, camp doughnuts, drawing and colouring, and toasting marshmallows over an open fire.

Many thanks to all parents, leaders, Scouts, Cubs and Beavers that supported Bradley and his team.

Our Scouts been invited to take part in an incident hike in the Chilterns organised by the 2nd Amersham Scout group. They have been running this event for 24 years so it should be good fun. The incidents will be made up of scouting & fun challenges over a 17km course. Teams will be made up of a maximum of 6 scouts The event will start late afternoon on the 4th February finishing no later than .0015 am. At this stage we don’t know if scouts will be sleeping over or be collected. Safety is paramount and the event is closely monitored using marshals & mobile phones and each team will have one of our leaders shadowing who will have walked the course the week beforehand. Several trophies will be available to win but for our scouts it will be more about the experience of taking part and having fun. We will see if there is interest for two teams initially. Cost £ 5
