Work never stops at the hut

Here’s what we found after Theme Park Camp. JP busily concreting along the side of the hut and replacing the slabs that had broken.

You might not always notice the improvements but we’re making the place better all the time. But no. We can’t stop it smelling of ‘hut’.

We followed it up with a rather chaotic world tradig game that let some of our younger scouts show their leadership skills. If we can turn them into PLs, we should have a fun few years ahead.

Half a beautiful hut

While we’ve been enjoying our time off, John has been hard at work sanding and painting the hut. He’s done half of it.and it looks awesome.

Woe betide any child trying to scrape this paint away!

Busy Summer at The Hut

There’s been plenty of work happening at the scout hut this summer. Here’s a taste of some of it. 

We are careful with your money

The Fifth has doubled in size in 10 years and, to match the growth, we have had to buy an awful lot of kit. We welcomed girls in 2007 and that meant we needed more new tents, toilets and changing areas. We are careful with your money and we shop around for months to find the best deals for The Fifth. How about some examples?
