Both cub packs set off to Belchamps Scout campsite for our first camp of 2018. We were lucky with the weather again, and spent most of the time outdoors, as you can see!

Scouts 2017 – Review of the year
It’s that time of the year again (well ok a couple of weeks late!) where we look back on everything the two scout troops got up to in 2017. Grab some popcorn. Sit back. Relax. It’s 2017 the movie!
Winter Wonderland
While most of us were sleeping off the Christmas turkey 2 of our young leader explorer scouts found themselves on a coach to Scotland where they took part in the Advanced Mountaineering Course run by our friends and neighbours Hertfordshire Scouts at their Mountaineering centre at Lochearnhead in the Scottish Highlands.
Having already graduated from the initial mountaineering course run at Easter Will and Lucy were put through their paces learning the use of ice axes and crampons, avalanche awareness, navigating in poor visibility and generally learning to deal with everything the Scottish winter could throw at them.
Like the look of this? Older scouts can still sign up to the initial course taking place again this Easter…..
