Family Camp Sat 20th-21st Sept 2008 Birchmere Campsite What a fantastic weekend! Our first Knaphill Family Camp was a resounding success and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers and their families enjoyed a fun weekend giving many families their first taste of Scout camp. They took part in a wide range of activities including rifle shooting, negotiating a rope bridge, backwoods cooking, and water rockets. After a raucous campfire families took part in a wide game in the dark and then settled down with cocoa and cake before heading for their tents. The sun rose early again on Sunday and after a hearty breakfast families set off orienteering around Wisley Common. The camp finished with Scouts Own and the presentation of medals & certificates. Many thanks to all those who helped to make it such a success. |

Firebird Challenge 2008 The Firebird Challenge this year was to make a raft to support Action Man. Rafts were made during the afternoon at camp and then judged after dinner. All rafts were excellent and all could carry one Action Man. We lost a few in the second round with 2 Action Men. The third round was to carry a tin of beans!! After a few tense moments we emerged with a winner in each section. Congratulations to : Beaver: JJ, Cub: Thomas W, Scouts: Luke & Sam and well done to all the other entrants |
