1st Blackwater Valley B-P Scout Group
One of the greatest assets of our group is that most of our current leaders were also once our beavers! This weekend was an excellent training experience for our new leaders and comprised many of the basic scouting skills. To see our young leaders develop and build the foundation for the next generation is truly exhilarating. Well done to all involved for such a wonderful time in the Forest of Dean.
Last weekend our Rovers went on a two day camp in East Horsley. It was rather soggy but a great time was had by all. This was trial for a similar camp which will be planned by our Seniors next year.
All our leaders regularly undertake training. This weekend it was Scout and Senior Scout leaders who were undertaking their second part of their Safety In The Hills training. Our GSM, who is a certified mountain leader, led this course and it covered the intricacies of hill walking for groups. It is an assessed course over two weekends. The first weekend is based on route planning and safety, the second weekend is undertaking the route and dynamically assessing the environment.
