8 Scouts and 3 older cubs camped at
Hesley Wood Scout Activity Centre from
Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th July 2010.
In a fun packed sunny summer weekend, we quickly set up camp and this involved searching out all the wood we needed to cook our food on.
The wood was expertly cut and sawn to the right lengths to fit.
Our new fire stand was given a great workout (well done for making that John!) over the weekend and some liked it so much they almost setup camp around it.
The Scouts and older cubs were able to play boules, football, wide games or build a rope swing like the one above.
If they did not find any of those choices their cup of tea (that's obviously why Akela was there!), they certainly all enjoyed doing the "cresta run", recently overhauled and upgraded and tested by Ardsleys own crash test dummies. (All the "dummies" are at the end of this blog, just have a look for yourself and your mates.)
Of course they can and did have time to sit and enjoy the fresh yorkshire air and the warm summer sun. (notice in the background a hammock in the trees?)

All too soon and the weekend was over, not a drop of rain, we were very thankful to get the tents put away dry once more. So many hands in so many pockets, its amazing that these tents get back in the bags.
Some of our older scouts are always learning new skills on camp, here is one rolling up an inflatable mat, always helps when you undo the air vale before trying!
As well as all the activities described the scouts and cubs had to fetch water, do the washing up and cook the majority of the meals. They did an excellent job on the housekeeping side of this camp and made some great meals and drinks for all to enjoy. All in all another great weekend camp, thanks to everyone involved.

Sorry this one set off so fast, its a bit blurred!
