Willesley Day Camp 20/06/09

Please click on the above image to see some pictures taken during our recent trip to Willesley Scout Camp.

On the day we invested 5 Scouts; Lauren, Dominic, Jacob B, Matthew & James. Welcome to the troop!

We also did some more raft building practise, built a fire and put up a patrol tent.

The rest of the time was left free to play games or just chill in the fine weather.

All in all a good time was had by all, enjoy!

All the best,

Skip & Adam

Air Rifle Shooting 07/06/09

Air Rifle Shooting 07/06/09

On Sunday 7th June we took our troop to the Sutton Coldfield Rifle & Pistol Club.

13 Scouts turned up for a short safety briefing, followed by some training and then straight into shooting targets from 20 yards.

The troop were also given the opportunity to try different types of air rifles, from the very basic to a competition hunting version with telescopic sight.

We were also allowed to use the clubs spotting scopes to zoom in on the targets.

The troop conducted themselves very responsibly and we definitely have some budding marksmen out there!

The event will be held once a month for the next 5 months and will be used to achieve the Master at Arms badge if desired.

Members of the troop will also be allowed to attend during normal club sessions should they wish to take their interest further.

It was a very enjoyable couple of hours and many thanks to Charles, Peter and other members of the club for their time and effort.

District Football Competition 2009

Well done to Luke, Zach, Jacob H, Ryan, James & Reece for participating in the 2009 district football competition.

It was a miserably wet day and there was a distinct lack of teams taking part this year.

Nevertheless the 6th as always made the effort and did extremely well.

The highlight of the day was a convincing 3-1 win and, in conjunction with our other results, we managed to qualify for the county competition in October!

So well done to our fantastics footballers!
