Summer Camp
Each Year we have a Week long camp on Windermere in the Lake District. The camp is based around Water Activities (Sailing, Rowing and Canoeing), but includes Walking, Abseiling, camping away from the main campsite and generally having fun.
At the end of the week we have a Regatta allowing the Scouts to put into
practice their newly leaned Sailing, Rowing and Canoeing Skills in a fun environment. As you can see from the pictures and program below everyone is busy come
back having earned a rest.
