2015-05-08 – Scout Archery Camp
Our fourth visit to this National tournament and for the first time we were joined by 3 Cub Scouts, who like the Scouts were a credit to the team. Very well done to Phillips-Pack leader Kay, who took silver medal in the over 18 supplied field targets, the third family member in as many years to get a medal. Whilst not competing, our young members were entertained with other activities including ‘The Cube’, crate stacking, potholing, human table football, trampolines and a cresta run. At the end of the camp, whilst taking time to reflect on our weekend during our Scout’s Own, Matthew was invested as an Explorer Scout.
A Big thanks to Tim and Pauline for the catering and keeping us fed between activities, and Tim’s homemade iced loaves were a meal in themselves.

Thanks to Karen, Neil & Kevin for their support.
