Well done to everyone who took part in the Greenway Sponsored Walk today. We had a brilliant turnout from 8th Letchworth members both walking and in the refreshment tent. It was an amazing effort by all and a special well done to all those who walked. We’ll keep you updated on the total raised once all of the sponsor money is collected. There are photos of the walkers who made it as far as Wymondley Wood on the website.

At our sixers and seconders weekend I made loads of new friends. I had a fantastic time with all the activities. For Example; axes and saws, archery, shooting, fire lighting (it was yummy), bugs and rope guiding, cracker challenge, assault courses, partner work and lots of arts and crafts. On that last one we made scoobies! I can’t wait until my next camp!

Our scouts spent the weekend camping at Herts Young Mariners Base in Cheshunt. The camp was aimed at improving their water skills in preparation for the River Wye expedition in the summer. They brushed up their canoeing and sailing skills and all had a go at SUP boarding, something none of them had tried before. We all had a brilliant time and everyone tried really hard at the activities.  During the camp the scouts were also working on their Photography Badge. They had prepped during previous weeks and were able to take recordings with a camcorder ready for editing into films at scouts. They also took still photographs with both digital and 35mm cameras (thanks for the loan Rita) The still digital photographs can be seen in a separate album on this website, the prints will be displayed at the hut once developed.

After a lot of hard work from you all fundraising, and a generous grant from the Civic Trust we have managed to replace our old trailer with a much larger new one which is big and strong enough to hold all of our camping equipment for our growing group! Well done to everyone who has helped with the fundraising and a massive thank you to the Civic Trust for their support. The trailer got it’s first outing of many this weekend on scout camp at Herts Young Mariners base.
