The Beavers this week learned about leaves and made some really good leaf print art. At the end of the meeting we handed out some joining in awards to Beavers who have been with us some time.
The cubs had a very successful evening learning knots and lashings. They even made an A frame. We are looking forward to them building more adventurous constructions outside when the weather allows. At the end of the evening we award some joining in awards to some of our cubs including a 3 year badge! 🙂 ... See more
The troop this week started work on a monkey bridge that they hope to build at the group JOTI camp in October. They learned knots and lashings in the process. A number of badges were also awarded to some of the Scouts.
Beavers and Cubs took the train to Srbosko. Took a 9 km hike into the hills to visit a cave. We played wide games, and enjoyed the clement weather. Only one beaver slept on the train home, so clearly, we must try harder next time !
The Explorers setting off down the river in Austria. 🙂
The Bohemians Explorer Unit spent the weekend near the town of Golling in Austria. The unit arrived late on Friday and they had to put up their tents in the rain and the dark. The next morning they went canyoning which saw the scouts jumping into and swimming along a river in a very beautiful canyon. The scouts were fulling equipped for the trip in wet-suits and helmets. In the afternoon the Explorers went to the local aqua centre to have another swim and get clean 🙂 On day two the unit built and then navigated a wooden raft along the local river which featured some hairy moments including losing one of the barrels that form the raft itself in some rapids. The weather was great which allowed them to really appreciate the alpine scenery. Thanks to @torrentoutdoorexperience for giving the unit a great experience. ... See more
The Explorers had a great morning canyoning near Salzburg, in Austria.
Our Explorers have just arrived late in Austria for a weekend of activities. Before putting up the tents in the rain, they are having a final good meal. Cooking outside from tomorrow onwards.
Today Beavers learned important basics of the first aid and we will continue practicing these on our camp next month!
