2nd Bracknell Explorers conquer the Monopoly Challenge 2012

Posted on by

26 teams of Explorers from the South of England arrived in London on the 3rd March to take part in the Monopoly Challenge 2012.

Pictured are the four teams of Olympian Explorers from 2nd Bracknell who walked (or jogged) and rode on public transport to race around the monopoly locations of our capital city, buying property and completing a quiz as they went. They gathered at the end of the day aboard The Lord Amory in the docklands for a well deserved meal and competition results. They were delighted when positive attitude, great team work and dedication paid off as the teams came 10th, 9th, 3rd and 1st in the competition.

Explorer Project Africa Fundraiser

Posted on by

Eight Explorers from 2nd Bracknell will be going to Uganda for 3-6 weeks in Summer 2011. This is a Berkshire Scouts initiative and the group will undertake a number of community projects while they are there. They have to raise a significant amount of money, not only to support themselves but also to raise money for the projects. This is just one of their fund-raising activities – a static cycle ride from Entebbe to Mityana then Jinja and finally ontoo Mbale – a total distance of 240 miles!

 

You can see some photos of the fundraiser here.
