March Camp

This week we will be preparing for camp at GT.

You will all be given a "permission to camp" form which must be given to Dave as soon as you arrive at camp. For directions of how to get to GT click this link.

Change of Plan
We will now be providing transport. We will be leaving from the Scout hut at 7.30 Friday. You must bring your form!

19th March meeting

Unfortunately the planned trip to the Swimming Pool has had to be postponed due to a lack of transport. We will have to slot this into our next programme

Trip to the Fire Station

This week we're visiting the Fire Station in Preston.
We will be leaving the Scout Hut at 6.30 and returning at 8.30.

Six Scouts and a new arrival from Cubs, Oliver, went on the visit. Firefighters Gary and Colin showed us around the fire station and also the pump. They explained about their jobs and also how they could use the different equipment in a wide variety of situations.

Many thanks to the firefighters for showing us around.

Morse Code

This week we are planning to use Morse code to send a message. The idea is to play "chinese whispers" but with torches. Click the link for our worksheet. Morse Code.doc

The three teams did quite well with their tasks but it did take a few attempts to pass on the messages. Once they had decided to slow down the messages became much clearer.
