This is the 8th year the Scouts from the old school rooms have attended the Strategy weekend competition with camping held in the grounds of Cirencester Park. The team of 6, Amy, Charlie, Zoe, Rayne, Samuel and Rebecca all arrived at 5pm ish on Friday where Lee had already set up camp. The scouts chose their tents and after a chat could go off and do what they liked from either the silent disco to snacks in the cafe / tuck shop amongst lots of other things or just chill out. Saturday morning was a briefing and kit check before off around the park visiting bases to do challenges like hunt the haggis, cave bus, supermarket sweep and lots lots more. 30,000 steps and at 5pm it was over. Good job all. Now for an evening of entertainment or whatever the scouts wanted to do with scouts from all over the country in approximately 300 teams. Sunday morning and it was results. We don’t know where the 1st Stoke Gifford super stars finished yet but will publish once they’re sent out. We didn’t win but after 8 hours of competition in hot weather just finishing is a challenge. Good job all and massive TY to lee for setting up camp. Well the scores are in and we finished 60th out of 336 teams. The task was to beat the guides and I have to say we let 3 guide teams beat us! Only 3 out of the 59 teams that scored more points than us but 3 is 3 and you all owe me a bar of chocolate as a penalty Comments are closed.
