Seventeen of our Scouts have just completed a two-day Expedition in three groups independently from their Leaders.
After a hike through the countryside with all of their equipment, they set up camp and organised themselves an evening meal. On Day 2 (after cooking some breakfast!), they chopped wood, cleared down their camp, completed various other activities and hiked again to the pick up point.
Prior to the Expedition, each group had to plan a route, organise their kit, decide on their meals and convince their Leaders that they could complete the two day adventure by themselves.
Expeditions are a great opportunity for the Scouts to demonstrate their skills, work as a team and have lots of fun. The Scouts had a great time and really enjoyed themselves.
