CTT doesn’t quite remember such an excitable bunch of explorers - to say that all had a great time would be an understatement!! - check out the youtube videos of Apache
Calling all scouts who are eligible to be explorers within the next 12 months i.e. anyone aged 13 and over.
The District are hold an event to give you the opportunity to meet the explorers and leaders from the majority of units across the District, get involved in some activities, find out about what is on offer as well as just have a good time.
It is on the 21 June 2008 from 1 - 6 PM at the 3rd Hampton HQ, 59 Percy Road Hampton.
Parents are also invited to accompany the scouts, especially as there will be a talk from some camping / hiking equipment suppliers, that are also mountain leader trained, as to what personal equipment is necessary to get the most out of activities etc and also the opportunity to purchase/order the appropriate kit.
If you think that you might plan to go along then please let one of the Scout leadership team know so that we can help the Explorers plan the catering etc….
Its a little mad - but well worth checking out what the Explorers who joined the Country “Nelson” World Jamboree contingent got up to!

He did it! He has managed to succesfully win a place to go to the World Jamboree 2007, the centenary celebrations.
The Mighty 3HH take on The Big 50! For those who are tough enough.. some of us were and have returned with many a blister as proof. Argh.
This event is for teams of 4 and is open to all members of the Scout or Guide Movements over the age of 14 years. There are THREE routes, 50 miles and 50km open to all, andThe event is a test of good orienteering skills as well as physical ability and team-work and unlike other well known hikes, local knowledge will not be of help as the route will not be disclosed until the day of the event. All teams therefore start with exactly the same chance of winning a trophy.
It is this difference that has made the ‘Southern 50 Challenge’ a successful and rewarding event in the past and will continue to for many years.
Like any other long distance challenge, the effort required to last the full course and receive a finishing certificate is an achievement.
More importantly, many like to return to have another crack at the trophy or just to improve on their time.
Another great fun but rather muddy weekend at Tolmers- 1st place in the Volleyball competition after a nail biting final and definitely first place when it came to Disco action!
