August saw a Group Camp celebrating 100 years of Scouting. The camp programme was based as far as possible on the original experimental camp on Brownsea Island including early morning exercises. Indian headdresses, staves, tracking and much more.
Parents were invited to join us at the end of the day which was marked in traditional fashion with a camp fire, preceded by a beef burger barbecue and cutting of the 100 year birthday cake.
In the afternoon, Sunday, egg and spoon and three legged races – or in the case of the Explorer Scouts ~ 6 legged race and then it was time for Cub Scouts to leave.
Monday early morning exercises looked a little more professional, followed by a games morning – the games being taken from 1909 Scouting for Boys and a 1933 Physical Training book for schools.
