Base Marshalling for St Christopher’s Fun Walk

The scouts and explorers donned their onesies and spent the day at Keston Marshalling Bases 24&25 of the St Christopher’s Fun Walk.

We were signing cards and giving out water as well as encouraging the walkers on their way. For some of them, we were at the 10-mile marker with only a mile to go.

Rob’s mum passed through our base and for some of us, her t-shirt reminded us why we were there.

Naturalist Badge at Creekside Discovery Centre

We popped down to Creekside Discovery Centre in Deptford on Saturday to earn the Naturalist Activity Badge.

After an introduction to the centre and its work from Natalie, our guide…

the scouts set off for some mapping of the creek.

Then we pulled on our waders to explore the creek.

We walked up the creek and back down again while Natalie taught us all about the wildlife that lived there.

We finished off with some fishing and caught a Chinese Mitten Crab and a stickleback

Now it’s just fingers crossed that the badges arrive in time to give out this week!

Thanks to Sam and Don for coming on the trip and making it happen.

Easy peasy scout night

Some nights take weeks of planning while others happen just because it’s a sunny evening.

Goodbye PLs and Well Done Jake

It was the last night for our PLs before making the move up to explorers. They were given a very loud BRAVO and now we’re left looking for six new Patrol Leaders. I’m sure we’ll find some shining examples of scouting brilliance, willing, able, always listening and happy to help… that can’t be too tough, can it?!

George, Frank, Sam, Soph, Josh and Loic (plus Tom and Cormac)

And only a little bit late, here’s Jake being given his Chief Scout’s Silver Award. B-R-A-V-O

Earned in cubs but it's been sitting in Chris's drawer for a few weeks. Oops.

Jambowlree – World Scout Ten Pin Bowling Competiton

We’re all members of the worldwide family of scouting – over 28 million of us in over 200 countries – and this week we took part in Jambowlree, against scouts across the globe.

By the way, Orpington Palace Superbowl were fantastic. Really helpful staff, Easter eggs for best bowler in each lane and generally brilliant at customer service. Highly recommended by us.

The results have been plugged into the website and now we’re looking forward to seeing how we’ve done. Fingers crossed….

For now, here’s how they did on the night, all with the bumper barriers up apart from our explorer/network team.

There’s a video at the bottom of the page
