Richard M planned the Harkerville Forest Adventure as part of his Explorer Badge. Our Group met at the Harkerville Forest Camp and after supper we went on an amazing night hike. When we got back to base camp, our senior Scouts set up a rope trail, which lead deep into the forest. We followed the trail without torches and there was a surprise waiting at the end of the trail.....

Gilford Rock Show

Matt P's Rock Show at Gilford Campsite was brilliant and we all learnt a lot about Scouting! Each Patrol had to clear their campsite and then light a fire without using matches! After cooking Hot Dogs, the Patrols presented skits using puppets made from stones, sticks and all types of weird things! The Camp Fire was massive and the songs rocked. Oh Yeah!

Shoe shine tins for sale!

Fun was had by all at the shoe shine tin day. teams were selected to sell at the Spar, Woodmill lane & Waterfront. Badger wanted us to start selling tins by 8:00am but thanks to Flamingo we were able to have an extra hours sleep and only start a 9:00am.

Gilford Goes to church

Team Gilford visited the Vineyard church on Sunday 5 June and everyone had a great time. The service started with a sing along to the music played by the church musicians. It was a very interesting sermon by Pastor James and we really enjoyed it. Badger will keep us informed of where we will be having our next meet.
