Over the weekend of 26th - 28th November the 10th Holme Valley - New Mill - Cubs and Beavers enjoyed their first winter camp.
The venue was the Charles Wilson building at Bradley Wood. Although this was a winter camp, there were a few luxuries including, bunks with mattresses, central heating, hot water (not used by the cubs) and lots of fabulous food courtesy of the "Galley Crew".
Once everyone had arrived on Friday the cubs were separated into teams as follows:
Team Headache
The venue was the Charles Wilson building at Bradley Wood. Although this was a winter camp, there were a few luxuries including, bunks with mattresses, central heating, hot water (not used by the cubs) and lots of fabulous food courtesy of the "Galley Crew".
Once everyone had arrived on Friday the cubs were separated into teams as follows:
Team Headache
- Mission Impossible
- Sick Wreck
- Team Daft and,
- J.O.J.J
They then set off on a wide game to find 26 items of pirate booty hanging in the trees and bushes around the site, followed by flag and bandana making, supper and a fire.
Saturday started late for camp at 7am, the camp site had turned into a winter wonderland thanks to a dusting of snow in the night. After a good breakfast the cubs got to try climbing and shooting. At lunch time the Beavers joined camp and then everyone swapped, climbers shooting and vice-versa.
Before tea we went to the Jubilee Center to play some games - we hope to put a video of the hilarious game "Lifeguard" on the we for you to view. Whilst we had been busy the Galley Crew had cooked up a lovely pasta and bolognese tea which we followed with another wide game, some crafts and then a few quiet games before a slightly earlier bed.
Sunday started even later - 8am is a first for camp. I still shudder when I think of 4am football on summer camp. Anyway, after another lovely breakfast we held a brief scouts own before more fun activities.
All too soon camp was over and it was time to go home. The scores for each team were collected based on wide games, crafts (flag making), turnout, room inspections and a picture trail. Team J.O.J.J. romped home wing with 39 points thanks mainly to good turnout at the scouts own followed by all other teams gaining around 26 points each.
