Caterham District Scouts

In November the 1st Caterham Cubs had an excellent visit to Skaterham Skate Park. Some of us had never skated, while others were regulars, but we all enjoyed it very much – even Akela had a go!

The 1st Caterham Beavers have had a busy term, starting with a very popular bat hunt at Gatton Park, a conker evening, and visits from the Guide Dogs for the Deaf and St John’s Ambulance.

Inspired by a TV show of a similar name, the 1st Caterham Cubs staged their own ‘Cubs Got Talent’ show called ‘The ‘C’ Factor’!

On Friday 17th March, 1st Caterham Scouts met up at the Scout Hut and started our walk to Mercers Park. We walked 10km while carrying our own personal camping equipment in a rucksack.

January saw us organise our own Frost camp at Roverdene attended by 26 scouts and included a hike in readiness for the night hike challenge in March.Although no frost a good time was had by all.

To help get rid of the chocolate excesses over Easter, 16 scouts and 4 leaders took part in a camp at Mercers Park on the 17th and 18th of April.

We are continuing our planning for our centenary year activities as well as running our usual full programme.
