| Scout Meeting 29th Nov 2010 |
Hi All,
On Monday 29th November 2010 we were joined by a member of the British Army, 'Sapper' James Brighton.
James is a part of the Corps of Royal Engineers and has just returned from a tour in Afghanistan.
A sapper or combat engineer is a combatant soldier who performs a wide variety of combat engineering duties; typically including, but not limited to, bridge-building, laying or clearing minefields, demolitions, field defenses, general construction and building, as well as road and airfield construction and repair.
For the first part of our meeting, James talked about his role in the army and gave us a taste for what life is like on the front line in Afghanistan.
It was very interesting and the Scouts asked James loads of questions.
For the second half our meeting James got our Scouts doing some typical army fitness training, followed by some battlefield drills like rescueing a fallen comrade from the warzone.
The Scouts had a great time and we would like to give Sapper James Brighton a massive thank-you for giving up his time to come and see us.
Enjoy the photo's.
All the best,
The Scout Leaders
