Caterham District Scouts

Hooray, at long last the weather has not become an issue for the running of the District Wide Game!

12th Roverdene Challenge

14th-16th Frost Camp, Bentley Copse

At Easter we are running the New Forest Fun Camp for Scouts at Ferny Crofts Campsite, from 2nd-6th April 2010. All the paper work will be out early in the New Year.

We had Scouts from the 1st and 3rd Caterham over this weekend. We arrived at Braunston late on Friday night to pick up our two boats for the weekend.

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.

I visited the New Forest camp over the Easter holidays and although numbers were down on last year everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Well done to John S and his team for making it happen.

Celebrating the commencement of our centenary year, we are challenging any group to a wheelbarrow race at Warlingham Fair on Saturday 20th June between 11am and 4pm.

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.
