Rafting at Longridge

Tonight the scouts kept to the theme of “How wet and smelly can the leaders get the scouts in an evening?” THis was no different as they learnt to build rafts and race them across a quiet backwater of the Thames. They say a photograph is worth a 1000 words, therfore some will be published shortly.

Families meet at Chalfont Heights

Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Young Leaders and leaders of the Group met up a Chalfont Heights Campsite on the weekend of the 19th June. Also ther were parents and other adukts. This gave everyone a chance to enjoy activities they wouldn’t normally participate in, and a chance for the adults to sit around and chat to the regular helpes.

The Friday evening was taken up with setting up the campsite which included a kitchen area large enough to cater for 80 people..

Activities started after a hearty fry up on Saturday morning followed by clibing, abseiling go carts, archery etc. Lunch was seved to all from the central area and while activities carried in the support team prepared the evening meal.

Work Party

The work party was a great success with lots of jobs completed including:

  • Painted the walls and replaced the floor in the bathrooms.
  • Cleared out the guttering and attached it to the drains.
  • Painted the eaves and one of the inner doors.
  • Cleared the nettles from the river bank.

Many thanks to all those who came to help.
