For
those who would like to see what Phoenix will be getting up to, here's
a copy of the
Summer Programme.
Phoenix entered two teams in the
Three Towers Hiking Competition, which took place on 5th April. Tom,
Matt & Phil finished in 9Hrs 42Mins having covered at least 45Kms while
Belinda Nick & Phil took 12Hrs 12 Mins. In the Classic event for adults
(70Kms), Chris & Niall took 12Hrs 53Mins, but lost Simon to injury along the
way. Simon, Jess & Chris took 15Hrs 21Mins and Adam, Phil & Ali 15Hrs
55Mins. Photos taken during training are posted
here and any taken during
the event itself will be added. Well done one and all.
Finchbase has been occasionally the target of unwanted graffiti. Was that
why the Explorers decided to try it out?

On a Monday in mid July, both Explorer Units went down to the Waterside
Centre to build and race canoes out of cardboard - no one told them
cardboard goes soggy when wet! But
here are a few photos and
there's even a video clip! In the end, they raced their canoes and a team
from Phoenix won! Thanks heavens it wasn't white water!
The
Young Leaders Explorer Unit is currently the biggest it has been since
records began. Wokingham now have 15 registered members helping out
at Beavers, Cubs and Scouts in 5 groups in the District.
Young Leaders are aged 14 - 18 and are helping out in any of the three
sections. It is a requirement of POR that the young people join the unit and
are registered in the District as Explorer Scouts.
We meet once a month (usually at 3rd Wokingham) and a typical meeting might
see us split into two groups:-
