Spitewinter & Summer camp

Just before the break up for the summer holidays we had an overnight stay at Spitewinter. The scouts were dropped off in Holmegate and had to make their way back to the campsite, without using roads, just using a map and compass. They were seperated into the patrols and set off at different timed intervals, knowing that theyhad to evade the hunter patrols (leaders) out looking for them. They all excelled in this task and were rewarded upon their return with the prospect of having to then build a shelter to sleep in before we got the fires going to cook them a hot drink and supper. A good time was had by all. Next up the first week of the six weeks holiday, was our annual camp to the Lake District. While the rest of the country basked in sunshine, it was rain, rain and even more rain up in the Lakes!! Not dampened by the weather everyone still enjoyed it.
Here's some photographs of both events taken by one of our assistant scout leaders, Andy, or should I say Padge!
Enjoy, Skip.
