National Emergencies Museum

 

We had a day out to the National Emergencies Museum in Sheffield. We let via train, went to the Museum, Cathedral and then headed on our own ghost walk around Sheffield. After being spooked by Sheffield's past we headed home.

Rampage


7th took part in the annual Rampage competition held at Drum Hill. Sophie, Dylan, Jacob and Sam competed in 8 events against 23 other Derbyshire Scout Troops. We did very well in the Climbing event, obtaining full marks, Fire lighting and the mental challenges.
Weather was good and Eddie, the site cat, kept a keen eye on everyone.
Big Well Done to you all ....

7th Dronfield Scouts have gone digital




Image result for online scout manager
7th Dronfield Scouts have gone digital but moving Troop admin on to Online Scout Manager. After much inputting and a successful test last night we now can manage badge records and keep a track of stock more effectively.  This will reduce time in Troop administrating and help us focus on "Scouting".

Climbing - Lakeland



After the rain, outdoor climbing didn't sound so appealing so headed in doors to the Lakeland centre. In the chamber - lots of puzzles to do. Scouts are also undertaking Archery and prepping leaders tea tonight. We also have our bond mocktail night to look forward too - 007 !

Fog and Fuss







Beware pending tent inspection.
Scouts went gorge walking and Explorers enjoyed sweeping views up Harter Fell.
Weather has been kind but that's set to change - batten down the hatches tonight after Chocolate Cake, of course.

Canoeing Day



Windermere - Canoeing
Sessions - 2 across the lake and 3 around the islands. Opportunity to swim and chill out in between. Everyone got wet so they have had one wash at least. Lots of wet kit to sort out later but that's just camp !
Big thanks to Chris, Lucia and Kev 😊

Climbing - Curbar Edge























Excellent evening climbing session at Curbar Edge. Lovely clear and sunny night. Scouts had four routes to try and most had a go at everyone. Route one proved to be very tricky with nobody getting a clear go. Must practice more !!

Navigation Longshaw





We ran a navigation exercise out at Longshaw last night. Despite rain all day - the sun popped out at 7 PM with the most amazing sunsets afterwards. This lit up Burbage in brilliant yellows and pinks.
Navigation exercise was to judge who is at what level in regards to Navigation. Results shortly .....

St George's Day




Excellent turn out today. Good service by the vicar - mainly because it was short but also he introduced some humour. Scouts looked very smart. "Shout Outs" to Izzy for a last minute step up to do reading and Jacob carrying the flag ....Happy St George's Day
