Fabulous day today, scouts cooked us all breakfast , made our lunch and prepared their wood for their fires 🔥 for cooking dinner this evening. They’ve used multiple different cooking methods today as well as Axes, Saws & Knives for getting their wood ready in different piles from Beaver wood to Explorer wood.

In preparation for our upcoming camp, the scouts this evening talked about safety when lighting fires. They discussed how to build a fire and light one, went off to collect wood, build said fire & lit it before toasting marshmallows. New skills learnt ready for cooking their dinner on Saturday evening GLSW Scouts Sutton Scouts The Scouts

Congratulations to this years Sutton district scouts expedition participants. They all successfully, despite the awful weather Saturday, completed their expedition weekend. Now for them to present their projects to their Troops to be able to be presented with the Scout Expedition Challenge Badge Sutton Scouts GLSW Scouts The Scouts

Following on from last week’s session, we continued building our hedgehog 🦔 houses.
Each patrol was given the materials for almost a complete house, although some sawing still needed to be done. The Scouts used drills to make pilot holes for the screws, and every patrol worked really well together, showing great teamwork throughout the evening.
There’s still plenty to do before the houses are finished, but excellent progress was made and we’ll continue the project after half term.
Thank you to the team of dads who helped this evening and are wiling to return to finish our project, one in particular who spent his weekend cutting wood in preparation.
