Silverwood Camp Report

Eleven scouts took part in this weekend's camp at Silverwood. We arrived on site at 7pm Friday evening and got the tents up before enjoying a supper of fajitas around the camp fire. On the Saturday the scouts set to building a bivouac in the woods, and, much to the leaders' surprise, they actually followed through and spent the night in it! We also made a hobo-b-cue out of an abandoned supermarket trolley and used it to cook lamb kebabs. On Sunday we had a go at flying a radio-controlled helicopter - alas it crash landed and broke, so we had a game of softball instead. That evening the scouts made a fantastic chilli and then amazed the leaders by clearing up afterwards. On Sunday morning, in between packing up, we had a game of volleyball. The weather stayed kind to us, so all-in-all a great weekend.

As a result of this weekend's camp, Thomas and Sam have both passed 35 nights away, while Emily has reached 5 nights away, which earns them a badge.

Our next adventure is a camp in the Lake District from 1 - 4 May, when we'll be going to Great Towers campsite near Bowness-on-Windermere. Letters will be going out this week with more details.
