1st Blackwater Valley B-P Scout Group
Our group took part in the second Skip Johnson Memorial Hike at Mortimer Scout HQ. It was a difficult hike but fortunately, the rain held off! Well done to all who took part and made it an amazing event.
This week our seniors made Hobo Stoves, these are small stoves which are often made from tin cans with legs attached. They have great ventilation meaning they burn really efficiently.
This week our Beavers were exploring the world of plants. They planted a mix of seeds and bulbs and we can’t wait to see the results of their hard work!
This week our Seniors were surprised with a Ready Steady Cook style challenge where they were presented with a bunch of ingredients and told they have to come up with a main meal. They absolutely aced the challenge and concocted a fantastic pasta dish, maybe we have some new camp cooks?
After the recent success of the Scout’s fire building, this week they were challenged to create a meal which could be cooked entirely on one green stick. Their choice: a form of sausage roll made from a sausage and bread twist dough. . .interesting. . .
A big thank you to all of those who attended on Saturday and made it such an enjoyable event.
A special thanks to Darren (our Cub Master) for organizing the quiz on Saturday and also to Mike (Trustee) who helped on the catering front. When all the money is in we will have made a fantastic £390 and £64 of this was made on the raffle drawn on the night.
We couldn’t post this on the night as our Beavers were undertaking a secret mission to make Mother’s Day cards. But now the day has past, here is a behind the scenes of the clever colour mixing they achieved to get their designs.
After an exhausting twelve mile hike at the weekend around Box Hill, the Scouts took it easy and enjoyed making a fire.
We are excited to announce the return of our in person quiz night! Tickets are £8.50 per person and include a ploughman’s supper. Teams of up to a maximum of 8 but there is no minimum number and entrants need to be 16 years and over.
There is a bar on the premises and we will be holding a raffle during the evening.
Please email us at with the number in your team and team name. We will then send you payment details.
We have limited capacity and it will be first come first served, so let us know ASAP to reserve your tickets!
What a busy night! After our Beavers made some fantastic pancakes, we invested four new Beavers into the Colony.
