1st Blackwater Valley B-P Scout Group
After one weekend of bramble clearance, the new fence could finally be built!! It has been a long time coming but even for a simple project like this there are a number of logistical problems that need to be solved, for example: what weekend are the most people free? When can the fencing supplier deliver? how long will it take to get the old fence down? The list is almost endless, which is why the result is even more pleasing!
This year we camped in Somerset on a piece of land owned by one of the leaders.
Our Beaver’s had a great time visiting an historic farm and learning about the Victorians.
Pioneer Troop spent a weekend camping in E4, part of the ranges which we were given permission to conduct Scouting activities.
Our Scout group provided light refreshment to all the amazing runners supporting this event. (some runners were from our group as well!) Thanks to everyone who was there.
On 24th – 26th February 2012 Mountford Troop undertook the silver DofE expedition in the beautiful countryside of the South Downs.
Date: 29th July – 7th August 2011
Consisted of building and sleeping under a canvas, as well as lots of activities involving boats, water and a bit of land!

A weekend away underground, exploring some of Devon’s cave systems!
Date: 2nd – 3rd of July 2011
A weekend away on the river, what more could you ask for, we even made a new friend Wilson!
Another great firework night with some fantastic company, thanks to everyone for coming to enjoy the show and food!
Pioneer & Mountford Troop spent summer camp on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour.
As always, the weather was perfect, and although we didn’t catch up with the ice cream boat, we did meet some rather terrifying pirates!
On the 2nd & 3rd of July 2011 Mountford Troop spent the weekend mucking about on the river.
The weather was gorgeous, courageous attempts were made at falling overboard, and we met Wilson.
