1st Stoke Gifford Scouts Group summer Camp - Brownsea Island.

23/7/2018

 
So 0600 on Saturday 21/07/18 was time for the cubs and scouts of Stoke Gifford to form up and travel to Browsea Island the site of the first scout camp.
We took the coach to Poole Quay and then ferry across to the island, followed by a short hike and then set up camp, evening meal and then bed everyone shattered.

The next day started with breakfast then red squirrel watching and conservation. Our meals were prepared by the 23 adult leaders for the 56 young people. An evening of crabbing and then bed.
The island has a no fire policy and so to challenge the scouts and cubs a mission to build a raft to float in the sea and make a fire big enough to roast a marshmallow.
The final full day was occupied with visits to the reserve and orienteering with sleeping out under the stars in bivouacs then the last morning was decamp to start the return journey home.

What a great camp.

Fish and chips on the quay and then on to the coach.
Many thanks to all involved in the organisation and running of this special camp which all the children thoroughly enjoyed.

2018 2 day expedition another success for osr scout troop

15/7/2018

 
fantastic weekend for a walk in the countryside, Saturday lunchtime 8 Scouts from osr troop in stoke Gifford arrived at Berkeley all kitted up for their 2 day expedition to Severn Beach 23km away. Arriving at every checkpoint on schedule it wasn’t too long before they reached Oldbury-on-Severn and pitched there 5* accommodation for the night. A quick walk for dinner and after a hearty meal it was back to check the route for the next days walk and a demo on camping stoves and then to bed.
After a night of excitement for the walk ahead it was breakfast, kit up, tents down and off on the second leg. The pace of the last day started quickly coming in to the first and second checkpoints ahead of time but then there was lunch break and the weather getting hotter which put the team back on schedule. With water and health checks at every checkpoint the scouts managed to complete the expedition ahead of time and the proud as punch parents meeting at the finish were full of congratulations.
I’d like to on behalf of all that took part say a big well done and a big thank you to the leaders that made the 2 day expo successful again this year.
