Scouts Go Night Fishing

Our Scouts went on an adventure last Saturday 9th September hiking six miles to a lake in Wokingham to go night fishing. On route they encountered thunder storms however this did not dampen their enthusiasm as they soon started to catch 10lb Carp. The Scouts literally lived upto the night fishing experience with the last one retiring to their camp bed at 2am only to be woken by their Leaders 5.30 hours later to start packing and striking camp followed by a hearty cooked breakfast before hiking back to the Scout Hut.

The event would not have been possible without the support and permission from Crowthorne Fishing www.crowthorne-angling.co.uk and our three fishing volunteers Jason, Matt and Mick. One parent commented “he had a brilliant time thank you all” and the Scouts wish to say thanks to everyone for giving them this experience and providing them with the opportunity to earn their Angling Activity Badge.

Scouts Hells Fire Camp

Aside

DSC_009014 Scouts attended the Hells Fire Camp at Phasels Wood on the 28-30 April and took part in air rifle, climbing and zip wire activities.

On the way home on Sunday, they visited the Hells Fire Caves in High Wycombe www.hellfirecaves.co.uk, very dark, damp and chalky.

We received a couple of messages from parents

  • “thank you for taking them, he certainly enjoyed himself”
  • “thanks for camp he had a great time”

A big thankyou goes out to two parents who attended and supported this camp Jonathan and David, without whom the camp would not have been the success it was, especially when we lost a Leader due to illness.

Here’s to the next camp

The sun was shining on the Remembrance weekend where over 15 Cubs from 2nd Bracknell took part in the Remembrance parade on Sunday 13th November in Bracknell Town Center. There were lots of people there to watch including many parents. 

The Cubs were well turned out and paraded well to and from the memorial.

The Beavers all did themselves and 2nd Bracknell proud in their attitude and behaviour.
Well done Beavers
