2009-05-22/25 – District Jamboree

On Friday 22nd May, the leaders set off bright and early to Walton Firs campsite in Cobham to set up what was to be a very successful Jamboree camp indeed. The weather was the best we’d seen this year and our booty of awards was a fair haul too. The Fifth netted 1st place for both the over and under 14’s cardboard canoe race with a first and second place overall; and thanks to the Collins Cub Pack, the 5th also won the tug-o-war. Accreditation was also received with the 5th winning a third in the Cubs gun carriage race.

The overall camp atmosphere was bustling and just listening to the group at mealtimes it was clear the group were having a fab time. Thanks, as always, to the 5ths leadership team for “making it happen” for not only its own members, but also all the other scouts/cubs/beavers at the jamboree who enjoyed safe excitement on the canoing on the lake and on the pioneering zip-wire, which was built by the 5th’s Leaders.
