Christmas, made gingerbread and
enjoyed an end of year Christmas
party, We cooked and served a
traditional 3 course meal for the
community and nearly 50 people
came along to enjoy the meal, a
games of bingo and a sing song
with the Beavers. Thank you to the
cubs for the table decorations.
We say goodbye to a few scouts
who are hopefully all moving on to
become Explorers and we look
forward to welcoming the cubs
who will be joining us in the New
Year. Congratulations to Aimee and Thomas who have completed the highest
award in Scouts and were presented with the Chief Scout Gold Award by the
District Commissioner at a recent meeting.

A part of the Creative Challenge badge (needed for the Chief Scout Gold
Award) Scouts have to promote or write about a scout event and to have it
published locally. This has been written by Thomas.

Flash Expedition

Before I started my expedition I had to plan my route to the campsite in
Winterborne Anderson and back to the scout hut, to do that I used an OS map.
After I planed my route I made a route card and to do that I needed to look at
the map and for every change in direction I had to write it down on the route
card.

A few weeks later I got my personal kit ready and when I got to the scout hut I
needed to put my tent and my trangea and the gas and I was ready for a long
walk but one person in my group was not there because they got the times
mixed up so we had to wait. When they arrived me, Casey and Eleanor set off.
It took us 3 and a half hours to get to the camp site because we took a few
wrong turns to get there but in the end we got it. When at the camp site we put
up our tents and started the fire and made a bench to sit on and eat the food.
Before I went to sleep me and Casey played a card game and Casey lost 10-3.

The next day before we set of we had some breakfast them packed our things
and the tent to go. On the way back it was just me and Casey became Eleanor
had to go to a family party. On the way me and Casey went the wrong way
and went down White Lane and had to turn around and walked back to the
right route but somehow we still got back to the scout hut early.
