Dronfield 10KM


All round sucess at the Dronfield 10 K this year. We had some excellent times from both Scouts and parents with Scouts coming 2nd, 3rd, 11th and 16th in the fun run and parents competing in the main run all coming under 1 hour.
Further we kicked off our Shelter Box appeal with £85 being raised on the day to get us well under way for our target of £600 !
Weather was excellent for all and thank you again to every one who marshalled in the event,                                                                                       Much appreciated.

Chilly Challenge


 

This years Chilly Challenge wasn't so Chilly but we had a Chilli Out time. Film, Spag Bol, Games and Camping Out. Scouts all stayed in one tent - did anyone get any sleep "No" ! However less canvas to dry.

Navigation on a Cold Day


Few Scouts headed out on our first navigation course to teach land to map interpretation. We had some interesting discussions on where we are but made it back safe and sound. 

We Won !


Congratulations to 7th for winning the Sheaf District Annual Splash Competition at Graves Swimming Pool. Three events, including Water Polo, which some Scouts all got talented spotted at.
Gold Medals are real !

Drums a Drumming


Scouts learnt about African Drumming on Wednesday. We played a mixture of Group and Team work sets and by the end everyone was playing in harmony. Scouts were set a challenge to play a rhythm together, for 60 seconds. Cobras came out on top with an excellent display of team work. 

Remembrance Day Parade




7th attended the Remembrance Day parade in Dronfield Town Centre on Sunday. Excellent turn of both Scouts and locals to remember those who have given their lives in armed conflict. Service was well attended with a few extra wreaths presented this year. 

Mountain Biking Event "it's a bit foggy isn't it?!" ....


12 Scouts went on adventure today with Mountain Biking with Derbyshire Scouts MTB Team.

Ol quotes "Mountain biking through the new Lady Canning's wood trail was great fun added to by the atmospheric fog "

Autumn Camp - Whitley Woods Sheffield

 

Camp at Whitley Woods, Ringinglow, Sheffield - we went Geocaching, made Thai Stir Fry ( love the fish sauce) and had a circus skills session with Mickey Bimble.
Dark nights are drawing in so we had good weather but frosty starts.

Lea Brook Valley
