Scouts at Winter Camp and Admirals Own Update

Scouts Winter Camp at Ferny Crofts

Twenty eight Scouts from both Admirals and Gunners Troops took on the challenge of Winter Camp at Ferny Crofts in early March. Fortunately the weather was very good. Unfortunately the coach service from Denny's Wood car park (late change of arrival location) was a bit hairy as 660 Scouts (yes, I did say six hundred and sixty) from all over Hampshire descended on one location to get on one coach between 6pm and 7pm in the evening.

From then onwards things got a lot better and the Scouts were able to enjoy themselves with the large variety of organised activities, including Sumo Wrestling, Human Demolition, Laser Tag, Human Gyroscope and Air Rifle Shooting.

We did notice we had a few fire starters within our number and quite often found ourselves sitting around a warm camp fire. The Scouts all returned home having thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Admirals Own Scout Troop Update

We have had a great few weeks! Camp cooking and then some!!! The Scouts cooked rabbit curry a couple of weeks ago, from scratch! And chapattis and chutney!! We had a great night!

Our Engineering Challenge saw the Scouts building a structure to light a candle on the other side of the room!
