Sorry folks for the delay but we’ve finally managed to load up the photos from the Cubs’ fabulous James Bond camp held during the Easter holidays.
Feel free to browse the photos! (Note that these have been loaded in a low resolution format – if you’d like a high quality version of any particular photo, and are connected with 3HH Scouts, please email one of the section leaders to request.)
Hello Pirate Campers!
After all the worries of crummy weather we probably couldn’t have actually done much better, maybe a bit warmer at night perhaps?? Waking up to blue sky after blue sky was brilliant, let’s hope it’s a good sign for the rest of the year.
We’d like to say a MASSIVE thank you and well done to all of you Cubs for making the camp such a success as usual. We did some pretty challenging stuff this time like the aerial trek and the zipwire, but you all turned on the 3HH ‘can-do’ attitude and put all the worries behind you. But it’s not just the activities; you’re always there to help with setting things up, keeping the place tidy, WASHING UP and generally being useful. As a result we didn’t do a ‘Top Cub’ award, you each have your own strengths and you simply do your best all the time in whichever way you can.
A HUGE thank you also goes out to Jane for taking the lead on the cooking duties and to all the other support – adults Sarah, David, Linda, Andy, Claire and Fiona, young leaders Sam, Will and Ruth, our young-young leader Katie and our home contact Diana. Finally, thank you also to all the parents that took the trip out to Downe to deliver and collect your Cubs, especially for being on time on Sunday!!!
Superhero Summer Camp is being planned for August 4th to August 8th, and hopefully lots of you can come. If there are any parents out there that think they might like to come along for a few nights under canvas, some late nights, woodsmoke, singing and a whole lot of fun then let us know, these things can be arranged!
Of particular note, there were some FANTASTIC cakes that arrived on the first day, they were very much appreciated (especially the rock buns with raspberry jam in the middle – the Cub that brought those can DEFINITELY come on camp again!!!)
Cheers everyone, thanks again and see you all soon.

Well, the most common statement on our return was one of surprise that we didn’t come home early! Well why didn’t we come home?
The troop camping next to us did, but to be fair they weren’t as well equipped as we were, (but hey they didn’t even really try before throwing in the towel!). The conditions were amongst the most challenging I’ve ever camped in and for those whose first camp it was as Scouts, such were the conditions in 1998 on my first Easter Camp as a leader! So why did we stay?
Hmmm, lovely! The Scouts had to resist the urge to eat the ingredients as they created some wonderful looking sweets!
Click on the photo to see more of their work!
On the list were: Peppermint Creams, Multi-Choc Pistachio Nut Brittle, Marshmallow dipped in choc with toasted Coconut, White Choc and Raisin Fudge. They did a great job. The reults will all be bagged up and available to buy at The Easter/Spring Fayre on Sat 8th March 2008.
