Older Cub Camp

Almost all scouts took part in the older Cub Camp at Bonaly the weekend of 15th-16th September.

This camp was to show the older cubs some of the skills that would be used at a scout camp.

It was very wet on the Sunday but all had a great time.

Scouts Survival Skills Camp

In August we went to Fordell Firs Camp site to complete part of the Survival Skills badge.

We built a shelter, cooked all food “backwoods” style on a fire - made our own burgers, foraged for berries, we even cooked eggs inside an orange!

Here are a few photos from it.
