This is a District Challenge Hike inaugurated by our former Group President, Sam Clark, who sadly died last year.
It will take place on Sunday 5th October – more details, and confimration of the event, are expected soon.
Unfortunately, due to lack of resources in the calendar, this event has had to be cancelled.
Following on from the report backs this week, the pictures from camp can now be seen on the web site.

Nancy Savage, our former Group Scout Leader and retiring Cub Scout Leader for Badgers Pack, invited all members of the Group to a Water Activities Evening at the Waterside Centre on the banks of the River Thames tonight.
Beavers and Leaders, Cubs and Scouts, all had a splashing time on the river, not many left dry.
