ISSUE NO.07 SUMMER TERM ‘14
Summer Camp Planning in Progress… It’s that time again, it always seems to come around so quickly. This year we are returning to Ardingly College after they looked after us so well two years ago. Since we were last there, they
have built a new pavilion in the training grounds in which we camp. This is great news for us as it means we have access to power and toilets so no need for the dreaded Port-a-loos this year!
The final program is yet to be set but we have a number of fun new activities planned as well as the usual back woods cooking, camp fires, camp swings, and all the things that make camp what it is. For those that haven’t experienced 2nd Chailey
Camp before, here are some photos from previous years to give you an idea of what we get up to ….

What we’ve been up to on Thursdays…
Every Scout evening starts with 3lag break and ends with 3lag down. The Scouts take it in turn open the evening by breaking the 3lag. Here Ethan does the honours…
To celebrate Valentine’s day this year we held our very own Blind Date evening with our host Cilla (otherwise known as Liz)!
To raise funds for the group we held our own “bob-‐a-‐job" evening helping out around the school, here we can see Sam, Henry and Ciaron getting stuck in cleaning the windows and picking up the leaves around primary school!
Our Scouts all had to dress up as Easter bunnies
before taking part in the Easter egg hunt! So naturally we made bunny ears out of
tights and balloons!
