So this evening saw scouts from OSR scout troop attending shooting at lockleaze and archery at st Michael’s school. Hurricane what hurricane!, the troop swapped over for these activities. Big ty to all the leaders for starting early, finishing late and all the bit’s in between. Today was the annual shooting competition held near Bath by Avon County Rifle Club. 100+ scouts, explorer scouts plus adults taking part in 8 disciplines and new this year the crossbow. Scouts from OSR took part and had a great day, a little damp at times but friendly competition. Matilda got into the final of the knockdown competition and narrowly lost out into second place. Zoe came 3rd in the 3 position target shooting and won the overall main competition in the scout class. She received her trophy from the county commissioner Clive Sandrey and her 2 certificates. The standard of the competition is very high and the other scouts position will be published soon but the main thing is they all had fun and enjoyed the day. Big ty to Greg Laura and Pieres for chaperoning the scouts during the day whilst their leader was drafted in to do scoring. Big TY to all the instructors for a great day’s competition, all the helpers, Bath district for letting us all use their campsite and the parents for driving the scouts back and forth. The old school rooms troop were shooting at Lockleaze and in SG the other half were trying out archery. It’s the Avon County shooting and archery comp this weekend near Bath so we needed to get some practice in for those scouts representing the troop. For those that aren’t in the comp it was just some practice and remembering the techniques. Same again next week with the groups swapping over. Summer term was full of water activities for OSR scout troop and along with the beach clean, learning about plastic recycling and trying to use less single use plastics over half of the troop completed the challenge with a plastic bottle collage. Congrats to all the scouts for achieving this award. |
