WINTER FROST CAMP JAN 2012
In January a group of Scouts from Knaphill went to Frost Camp at Bentley Copse, it was very fun filled and exciting. We arrived on Friday evening and our first task was to put up the humongous mess tent, then we got into tent team and put up our own tents. After that we made a fire and roasted marshmallows then went to bed. It was a bit chilly during the night but that was nothing. The next day we all got up and had a lovely breakfast made by one of the teams and then set off to do the activities. There were loads of activities to do including Go-Karting, a Zip-Wire, Archery, Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Rifle Shooting and many more… When we all got back to the mess tent in the evening another one of the teams made a scrummy chicken curry. After dinner we went to the big camp fire and played a wide game. The next day we got to go on the activities again, after lunch it was time to pack-up and leave camp – we all had a great time. |

FAMILY HIKE SWINLEY FOREST 4th MARCH
Despite somewhat inclement weather we had a good turnout for our family hike around Swinley Forest. For many Beavers and Cubs this 5km hike was a good opportunity to achieve their Hikes Away 1 badge and for others to clock up another hike. Thanks to Steve (ACSL) for organising the route, it was enjoyed by all.
