6th Reigate Scouts have been continuing to meet virtually through lockdown periods and when not in lockdown in smaller group sizes with social distancing and other safety measures in place.
Local Knowledge BadgeScouts spent the evening brushing up on their map reading and local knowledge to complete their Local Knowledge Badge
12 scouts achieved their local knowledge badge |
PancakesOur meeting in the week of Shrove Tuesday the scouts cooked pancakes on tin cans over candles. I think it’s fair to say that some were more successful than others but everyone produced something edible!

Elastic Powered CarsScouts and Explorers built elastic powered cars and then had a competition to find the fastest car and the greatest distance travelled

Tripods11th January = Scouts and Explorers spent the evening building 2 tripods and attaching a basket ball hoop to the top, followed by a game of basket ball
|
Mock Court CaseWe staged a mock court case with all scouts playing an active part in the proceedings and some discovering a real flair for cross examination! Whilst most thought that the defendant was probably guilty, the jury found that the prosecution were unable to provide sufficient proof for a conviction so all scouts were returned to their parents!

Fire Station VisitWe began a visit to Reigate fire station as part of the fire safety badge but a call-out for the duty crew ended the visit prematurely. A return is being arranged
