The Explorers for all their help
John for keeping us all refreshed
To all the other leaders who helped out on the day

PL Thingy - 25/26 September - Thriftwood

15 PL's and APL's slowly gelled together over the course of 2 days. With practical skills being learnt as well as team building challenges they all picked up at least one or two ideas that could help them understand what it means to lead.

Thanks to the catering team of Rose, T and Terry. Thanks to the leaders who did a good job of passing on their knowledge and experience, Vic, Lance, Mark, Doc, Steve and Dave.

Environmental Day - 9 October - Hargreaves

Who would have thought that being waist deep in water shovelling mud could be so much fun? Well over 30 Cubs and 18 Scouts cant all be wrong. The young people and the leaders worked very hard during the day to clear large areas of Hargreaves woods and streams. Even within the first ten minutes the difference in water level was noticable (I noticed because I was in it at the time). Our friends from McDonalds also did a sterling job and were extremely helpful. Our thanks goes to them.

At the end of the day everyone went home a little tired but very proud of all their hard work. My thanks to all the Cubs and Scouts for working so well throughout the day. Thank you to all the leaders and the people from McDonalds for all your effort and help.

Activity Day - 10 October - Thriftwood

39 Scouts had an action packed day at Thriftwood. Officially the activities were kayaking, climbing, rifle shooting, cork guns, rafting, laser tag, 3d maze, archery, volleyball and crossbows. Unofficially we also had getting wet, getting muddy, getting cold, wet and muddy, getting lost looking for bases, the scrum for activity allocation slips and just generally having a laugh.

Perhaps we need to drum the idea of spare clothes into the Scouts even harder. I know that several leaders went home with a lot less clothes than they arrived in to ensure that some Scouts stayed warm and dry.

Thanks to all the leaders who helped throughout the day, the event simply could not have gone ahead without all your hard work. Rose, T, Roy and Lyn did an excellent job with the catering and looking after base camp. Richard, Lance, Terry, Dave, Vic, Steve, Graham and Scott did a good job of manning the bases and keeping the Scouts active.
