Scout Camp at Hamlet Wood

June 1st, 2010

Over the bank holiday weekend, the Scouts went camping at Hamlet Wood Scout Camp, near Maidstone.

They hiked from the Scout hall to Strood railway station and took the train to East Farleigh, then hiked from the station to the campsite.

On Sunday, they built a large swing as a pioneering project. They also played several wide games, lit fires and cooked meals in their Patrols. Major Drew visited on Sunday and helped put the finishing touches on the swing.

On Monday, they reversed their journey and made their way back to Chatham.

The Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts all start back on Monday 14th September. If you could bring some small cardboard boxes (cereal packets, etc) that would be very helpful.

If you have any questions about our first night back, please get in contact with one of the Leaders.
