1st Blackwater Valley B-P Scout Group
I would like to say an enormous thank you to all those helping at our stall today at Ash Fete. We had some great activity photos, section information and, of course, some fun games to play! It was great to see all those visitors. If you visited our stall and want to enquire about our group, don’t forget to head to our contact us page.
On the 1st April 2023 was the inaugural Skip Johnson Memorial Hike, where teams across counties competed in a blind route hike in the fastest time. Fortunately, our leaders bought it home for our group. Well done! Neil Johnson kindly visited to present the shield in person. Skip Johnson was his father and played a very important role in bringing scouting to thousands of children in the UK over his lifetime.
Route planning is a vital part of a successful hike. There is no better way than to learn how to read OS maps, to fill out a route card, and then get out and start hiking!
Dear All,
We have a stall at Ash Village Fete this weekend! If you can lend a hand, then please let us know. If you just want to drop by and say hi, that’s cool too!
We would like to say a big thank you to all who stopped by our stall on Sunday. It was great seeing so many!
Dear All,
The group will have a stand at the North Camp fayre this weekend. Please come and visit us to find out more about our group!
Being able to light fire starts with preparing the wood you plan to burn, failing to understanding the different stages of sizing material will result in failing to light it. We can only learn this skill through practice.
Seniors decided to test our coalman cookers as summer camp is around the corner. All our kit requires constant maintenance, and it is important the scouts get to experience taking it apart and servicing.
With summer camp hurtling towards us, there is never a better time to remind ourselves how to construct the various canvases we use on our camps. From dining shelters to patrol tents. Every canvas has its quirks!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new quiz leader! Congratulations to RBO Jokers who have taken the cup from previous leaderboard winners, Tukker’s Tigers.
