the leadership of 1st Winnersh GSL, Jez Burden, and Phoenix Explorer
Leader Keith Gambles, 1st Winnersh and 3rd Wokingham Scouts did a couple
of evenings' theory before going to Earleywood to put some of the
lessons learnt into practice.
Here are a few photos. |

The Troop went to "Summer" Camp |
|
|
| As the Troop left Wokingham, parts of the Town were under water. Was
this a good time to be leaving, and would Hay on Wye be better? It
seemed unlikely. In the event, Hay on Wye had missed the worst of the
flooding, but it was a wet camp. The same farm and field as 2006, but
puddles, soggy ground, some mud and strong winds featured. The river was
well up, so canoeing was off the programme and the Troop remained site
based, except for a walk along the river bank into Hay on Wye a couple
of times. and a trip to Hereford towards the end of the week. The Scouts
made the most of things and did not complain. We even played cricket (in
the rain, of course). With brighter weather we held a mini olympics and
stayed up late, one night, for a wide game organised by the three
Explorer Scouts who were with us.Cooking was on open fires, which meant
wood gathering was important in the damp conditions. The day before we
were due to leave, we were joined by Scouts from 1st and 4th Wokingham
who joined us for a damp camp fire. At least the weather improved once
we left! Anyhow, there are one or two photographs
here. |
