Cubs Wild West Summer Camp
Summer 2011 saw us returning to what is probably our favourite campsite – Cranham. The theme of the camp was Wild West and all the Cubs were indians and the leaders were the cowboys (guess who was the sherriff!). We only had a few Cubs on this camp but a great time was had by all.
You can view more pictures in the gallery.
A visit to the Fire Station
In July, one of the meetings for our Bison Colony was at the local fire station. These are just some of the photos. It looks as if everyone (including the adults!) is having a great time.
Shelterbox Scavenger Hunt
Saturday 16th July 2011: – First it drizzled, then it rained, and finally, it poured. However, not even the great British summer could dampen the spirits of the hundreds of Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Guides who took part in ShelterBox’s 2011 London Scavenger Hunt! Over 110 teams competed to be crowned the winners – despite the challenging weather! Teams saw many of London’s most famous landmarks, including Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament. They also undertook numerous challenges which included being blindfolded, building bridges and much more!
More pictures are available in the gallery.
Jungle camp at Stedham
Stedham is one of our favourite camp sites and we were delighted to return there in July with our friends from 2nd Bracknell.
We had wonderful weather for our weekend camp and managed to combine our normal camp activities with some jungle crafts and a taste of the exotic fruit. For added entertainment we were able to watch the Red Arrows and Vulcan as they displayed for the Festival of Speed at Goodwood.
You’ll find more in our Jungle camp gallery with pictures taken by Akela.
