Bathampton Scouts Overnight Poncho Camp

On Friday 28th September, the Scouts met at Rock East Woodlands, for an overnight poncho camp. The arrived early afternoon and began by putting up one of our patrol tents as a backup in case the weather meant the Scouts couldn't stay in the ponchos.
The Scouts then went off and set up their poncho shelters, with two shelters per patrol, while the other leaders and myself set up our tents.
When everyone was done, we had a campfire for a while before in started raining, very heavily on and off. This basically put an end to the campfire, and everyone went to bed soon after.
The next morning I missed because I had to get up and leave early as I had been offered an interview at Waitrose.

ONS 2012

On 22nd September, I went with Simon to One Night Stand, an annual Explore Scout event organised by Keynsham Explorer Scouts, at Chelwood Campsite. We left Bath at about 3 and arrived at the campsite roughly half an hour later. After putting our tents up, we had a wonder around and helped with the finishing touches of the site.
A little later, as people began to arrive, we had a picnic with the leaders from Solar ESU, one of whom, Kathryn, was one of my WSJ leaders.
After a while, I met up with my friend Gary from WSJ, and spent most of the event speaking to him and some of the other people from his explorer unit. There were many activities including climbing, inflatables, a campfire, a disco and a cinema and we did most of them. Despite the fact that it was REALLY cold, I found it really enjoyable and arrived back home at about 10am the next day.

Tir - Y - Cwm 7W

On Wednesday 12th to Friday 14th September, I went with 7W to help run the classes trip to the schools cottage in wales. This involved running activities for them, such as helping on a river walk and making bows and arrows, as well as cooking and generally helping to run the trip. This trip is offered to all year 7's when they join the school so that they get to know each other and learn to work as a team, as well as have loads of fun! The opportunity to help is also offered to all 6th Formers.
