12 Scouts and 4 Adults from the Snowdon Troop spent the weekend of 24th – 26th October at Downe Scout Activity Centre. We were promised horrible weather on Friday night and Sunday, but it turned out to be pretty good all weekend.
Activities included Pedal Go-Karts, Rifle Shooting, Archery, Leap Of Faith and Ariel Trek. The Scouts also made Pizza from scratch and cooked them in “Dutch Ovens” on a fire. The boys spent a lot of time running around in the woods chasing each other and, I believe, the plentiful Deer !
We were woken on Saturday morning at about 5 am by some interesting noises – initial diagnosis was Wild Boar, but the site staff suggest Badgers !
Thanks to Sarah Turner for giving up Friday night (after a bad week at work) to run a Rifle Shooting session !
Nearly There !

Tuesday night saw the red carpet rolled out for local celebs from Nevis Scout Troop. It was Movie Night at Scout HQ, with plenty of Popcorn for everyone.
The girls were all putting on the glitz and makeup and the boys were looking very dapper in their suits. They watched ‘Ride Along’, starring Ice Cube & Kevin Hart.
Higher resolution/better quality versions of these photos are available from Peter for a small donation to our current fundraising campaign!

The fare was wide and varied and included wraps, customised beans, fried chicken and rice, beef burgers, tomato and vegetable soup, hot chocolate and ‘bacon pancakes’.

We set off early on Friday 29th August with 13 Scouts and 4 leaders – our destination – Tonbridge. This was the starting point for our 2 day 26 Km Canoe Trip along The River Medway.
We carried all the necessary kit (tents, food, stoves and personal clothing) for our overnight stay at Yalding.
Beautiful scenery, good weather and a bit of fun on the Canoe Shutes
The trip ended at Allington Lock.

27th July 2014 by Webmaster
All Scouts from 28th Croydon Scouts were invited to take part in three sessions of water activities at South Norwood Lake. Recently unofficially renamed ‘Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Lake’, the local beauty spot provides an invaluable local resource to learn skills in sailing, canoeing and kayaking, as well as general safety in open boats on the water.
Each session was held on a Saturday morning and gave the scouts three hours of time on the water (for only £6!). Everyone agreed it was a great success, even Troop Leader Tony, who ended up in the lake!

On Sunday 12th May, 3 teams from the Snowdon troop took part in the District Checkpoint Challenge.
This is a short hike where the teams complete a challenge at every checkpoint – that and attempt to transport a Pringle round the entire course without breaking it !
Some of the challenges the teams undertook were lighting a fire to burn through some string; build a sedan chair and carry a member of the team round a course; matching a flag , country and Scout motto and a minefield made of cups !
The teams from the Snowdon Troop secured 2nd, 3rd and joint 4th place – our lowest scoring team was only 5 points away from the winner – if only they hadn’t broken the pringle !!
A BRILLIANT result from all of the teams WELL DONE
