Expedition Hike Camp Triumph

Although it was organised as a bit of an experimental format camp for us (just like BP’s original), 3HH’s Scouts more than rose to the occasion. This 30km round trip expedition was intended to give the Scouts a little more added adventure, try their hand at Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) style lightweight hiking and to generally mix things up a bit. And what a complete success!

We’ll add more photos when we have 2 minutes to gather ourselves, but as a quick snippet of what we got up to please click on the photo below…

sc-cs-exchAs some forewarning, we’re aiming to run a joint event with the 7th Hampton Scouts to earn our Expedition Challenge badge. The dates are Friday 30 October – Sunday 1 November 2009 Saturday 24 – Monday 26 October 2009 which falls at the end beginning of the October half term (please note that these dates now need to be confirmed – watch this space!).

The intention is to have the Scouts walk from the 3HH HQ to the designated camp site about 8 miles away on the Friday, spend the weekend honing their navigation skills, playing games and building / sleeping out in bivvy shelters, and rounding off the weekend with a return hike back to the 3HH HQ on the Sunday.

Should be good and more details in due course!… :-)

Summer Term News – Friday 20th June 2008

Hi all, a few reminders for you and some important information regarding a change in the planned programme.

Firstly to the programme changes – we’ve had to swap round the hike planned for next Friday 27th June with Superscout. Superscout, the ultimate challenge for Scouts is now next Friday 27th June so Mark will have to bring the trophy back. As usual one of the activities will be air rifle shooting and your Scout MUST return a signed permission to shoot form or they will not be able to undertake this particular discipline and will lose a large chunk of possible marks.
