19th – 21st June 2015, Cricket Camp
Do you want to get back to scouting basics? Learn some new scouting skills or refresh old ones?
The aim of the weekend is to get everyone doing, aka pretending to be Scouts, Cubs or even Beavers, so that they can share and learn new skills together and take these ideas back to your meetings.
The weekend will offer a selection of sessions so that you can choose the activities you want to do. If you can’t make the whole weekend, you can always just pop in for a day!
The following is a taster of what will be on offer;
Bush Craft – Fire Lighting, knife and axe and other sessions
Navigation – The basics of map and compass work to micro navigation
Pioneering & Gadgets – Wash stands and hour glass towers, your imagination is the limit
Tent Pitching and Camp Set Up – Using canvas
Camp Cooking, on fires, in pits and using Lamps & Stoves
Knots & Tracking – We all need knots
QM Doctor – It’s in my store but what is it & how do I use it? How do I look after it or mend it?
The highlight of the weekend will be a traditional Campfire, minus kids, giving you that rare chance to have a drink and a chat while relaxing next to the fire after the day.
The cost for the weekend is just £20 which will include all activities, meals and refreshments (bring your own beer!)
