Cub Scouts | 1st Uxbridge Scout Group

Our sixers and seconders camp happened on an autumnal september weekend, and was both a training camp for our sixers and seconders, an opportunity to camp with those closer to their age range, and of course FUN.

We camped at Lees Wood, spending Friday night setting up, playing some wide games and then some sleep....

On the Saturday we did Orienteering, the Assault Course and a few activities around site, before disappearing to Aquasplash at Jarmin Park, Hemel Hempstead for a swim.

On our return we cooked dinner over an open fire prepared by the cubs and played games around the site in the evening.

The Sunday was another full day with activities including archery and lunch out at a Frankie and Bennies, which was enjoyed by all.

We returned to site and packed up and returned to Uxbridge....

Our summer camp was to the main Channel Island - Guernsey, where we stayed at their Rue de Mainguy campsite along with another group from the district, 10^th Hillingdon.

We travelled out by Condor ferry on their super-highspeed ferry which only took 2 ¹/₂ hours.

We undertook a number of activities including Caneoeing, Abseling, Waterslides, and a visit to Sark as well as loads of beach time...

This camp was our opportunity to camp with other packs in the district and share activities with them. The camp was on the top of a hill and we had our own area set-aside just for us...

On the Saturday of camp there were a number of activities including Rifle Shooting, Cresta Run, Archery, a treasure hunt and an Aerial Runway. We had a whole-district campfire and then some really big wide-games (involving upwards of 250 8-10 year olds).

On the Sunday after a traditional Scouts Own we had more of the same activities, followed by a big game of baseball on the central area.
