Too much to do and not enough time so this week we have split the troop with Hawks and Falcons attending Little Stoke to learn all about bees with Tim Hewer and Merlins, Kestrels and Eagles staying near the Osr learning about mechanics with Chris Pritchett.

We couldn’t do it without you both and the knowledge you pass on is second to none. Tonight OSR scout troop invited the Western Air Ambulance Charity in to train on defibrillator machines similar to the one we have located outside the main building and then CPR refresher.

Well what a lovely day for a bike ride. 24 laps of Little Stoke Park with Stoke Lanes football competition to compete with. We had a safety brief, checked the bikes and helmets and then with South Glos Bikeability Andrea we were off on a controlled lap showing the scouts the route. One lap completed we reiterated the safety instructions and then off they went. We had adult supervision riding around the course and set up a control station and refreshments. The scouts stopped as they completed laps and took a break and drink, then all snacked up off they went again. It took longer than the 3 hours but all finished within 4! Good job all. Even I did a few to show willing. |
