Scouts June Camp
no images were found
Fourteen scouts, three leaders and a few frisbees went on camp for a weekend in June. Despite getting the frisbees far too high up the tree to be safely collected, fourteen scouts, three leaders and the same number of frisbees safely returned! The photo on the left isn’t a pile of sleeping bags, it’s a pile of scouts who “slept” under the stars, and amazingly, even managed to stay awake for the rest of the day!no images were found

We “stretched” our scouts with a hike on Saturday then a bit of flag-pole pioneering for investing people, then on Sunday the scouts split in two and took a bucket of incredibly valuable water round an assault course, and then climbed/abseiled on a tower.no images were found
Some of the scouts and leaders also managed to answer the popular question “what can we do with 4 scouts or 2 leaders, a huge 4mx0.5m concrete water pipe, and a big open field?” Fortunately there are no photos to prove anything!All in all, it was a great camp – roll on the Summer Camp!
Ed Invested
Here’s when we invested Ed. Ed has been helping at Scouts for a year now and after summer camp he is going to take over from Stuart as our Scout Leader.
Cubs Go Wild at Longleat
Sixteen of our Cubs joined 4,500 Cubs and Beavers from all over Hampshire for a day out at Longleat. The lions were a bit lethargic but the Cubs were certainly not!
We conquered the Adventure Castle, navigated the Maze, laughed at a footballing parrot, strolled through Longleat House, took part in a Guiness Book of Record attempt on the biggest ever Grand Howl and, of course, drove through the Safari Park.
Here’s the photos

The Southampton City District annual six-a-side football competition took place between six troop teams at the sports centre on Saturday 8th May 2010. I am delighted to report that after a tough competition, the 14th emerged victorious and in style with a 5-1 win in the final! Well done team!
