Cubs visit to Fire Station

Grenoside Cubs visited Elm Lane Fire Station last week. they had a tour around the station, looked at the Fire Engines, and then some of the Cubs even had a turn with a hose - until the alarm went up and the Fire Engines and crew had to rush off!!


Freezer Camp - Scouts only!

Date: 20th - 22nd February 2009

The ‘Freezer Camp’ is an event run every year by Hesley Wood, and this year we will once again be attending. To keep the cost down we will be sharing our site with the Explorers. ­You will be sleeping in tents, but we have booked a building for cooking, eating, hanging around in etc, and in case of really inclement weather!  The Leaders of course, will be sleeping inside, because we’re wimps – sorry I mean, err, we need to be fresh in case of emergencies, to cook breakfast, we’ve done it all before etc etc…

Rough Programme

Friday – Arrive after tea, pitch tents, look for missing pegs etc, followed by a ‘Wide Game’ run by Hesley staff.

Saturday – full of activities provided by the site, such as climbing, abseiling, archery, zip line, assault course, bouldering wall, orienteering, inflatables, buggies etc.  In the evening there will be a disco and other activities

Sunday - a day of competitions and challenges, with prizes up for grabs.

This camp is normally brilliant, as all the activities available would normally cost a fortune, but we are able to run this camp for just £35.  This includes all the activities, camp fees, food etc – everything but for a small amount of spending money!

Please come along to find those exclusive Christmas presents, take the children to see Father Christmas and have a chat with that old friend you haven’t seen for a while.

Survival Camp

What a weekend! Really cold Friday night, then a bit of rain on Saturday…

Good job the Royston Building was available!

Highlights included the Scouts making the next best thing to a wooden hut to eat in (!), Frankie (who else?) getting wet at the canoeing lake, some fool of a Leader also getting pushed in (thanks Fuzzy), Sea Bass and Beer-Can Chicken to eat, hopefully two new Leaders (welcome Simon and Lucy), Cubs camping out whilst the Scouts and Explorers slunk off to the building, managing to build a bridge that stayed up and supported everyone and building rafts that nearly kept the right way up!

Congratulation to first time campers Alice, Adam and Chris from the Explorers, Sean from the Scouts and Alex S, Alex B, Liam, Josh, Frazer and Adam from the Cubs. As you managed to survive the weather on Saturday night you know that you can survive anything.

There are some photos below.
