The Cubs, Scouts and Explorers held their summer camp at Blacklands Farm in Sussex during the last week of July. Check out the pictures below.
The Scouts try a lot of differnt things – here they are proving that hot air rises.

In the summer months it’s great to be able to use Buckmore Park instead of meeting at our hall.
These pictures are from one of the nights when all the sections were at the park.
In October, the Scouts visited Thorpe Park for a day. The weather was great and the braver Scouts went on all the big rides while some were happy to just go on the flying fish!
In August, 27 Cubs, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Leaders went to Blackwell Adventure for our Summer Camp.
We had great weather and took part in many activities including Climbing, Kayaking, Swimming, Pioneering, Fire Lighting and others. We also visited Drayon Manor Park for a day. Check out the pictures to see what else we did.
On Saturday, some of the Group joined others from Chatham Salvation Army on a Sponsored walk to raise money for the building development. A big thanks to everyone who took part. If you’d like more information about the building fund, please visit the building redevelopment page of Chatham Salvation Army web site.
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 Scouts went on Patrol camps to Downe Scout Activity centre over the May day bank holiday weekend.
The Scouts had prepared their own equipment, written their own menus and shopping lists and camped as Patrols for the weekend.
The weather was really good and everyone had a good time – I’m sure they’re all looking forward to putting the equipment away at the next Scout meeting.
The Scouts provide some comic relief.
The Scouts and Explorers are meeting at the Car Park of the Community Centre on St Marys Island next Monday, 29th September at 7.45pm. Here’s a map if you need directions.
