Last meetings before Summer Camp

At last night's meeting Scouts went on a hike to practice their map-reading and navigation skills. Our route took us along the Dearne Valley returning via Hollins Wood and Horsecarr Wood, a total distance of approximately 5km.

Meanwhile our Explorer Scouts successfully completed a six-week archery course, gaining their Physical Recreation badge. This was a joint activity with Barnsley Meths Explorers.


For Scouts and Explorers going on Summer Camp next week, please don't forget to bring your kit bag on Friday night at 7pm. We will be meeting at 9.30am Saturday, aiming to set off for camp at 10.00am. Remember you must travel in uniform and you will need a packed lunch.


There will be no Scout/Explorer meetings next week due to camp, but we are meeting through the school holidays.

Synergise cancelled

Unfortunately, this weekend's Synergise event has been cancelled due to the adverse weather and water-logged condition of the site. As soon as we have further information relating to rearranging the event or refunding payments we will let you know. The organisers have asked us to pass on their apologies for any inconvenience caused.

5 go on an Expedition

The Famous Five at the end of the adventure

5 Explorers undertook their Bronze DofE this weekend, and successfully achieved their aims and objectives.  They survived the worst that the British weather could throw at them, and they had tall stories of wild beasts causing them delays and detours along the way.  What is most important is that they all enjoyed each others company and using the skills of the group they got to where they needed to be.

Well done to all 5 of them and I hope we hear more of their adventures and experiences when they give their presentations.
