iceSCOUT 2011

Hi All,

During the weekend of December 9th to 11th I took part in iceSCOUT 2011, a fresh approach to Winter camping.

Scouts from all over the County took part in a number of activities including Archery, Grass Sledging, Go Karts, Fencing, Radio Amateur, Twists, and Felling Axe.

A total of 126 Scouts took part in the camp this year and next year the organisers hope the numbers will be even higher.

I was asked to set up my amateur radio station in the Ben Nevis activity zone and some of the Scouts managed to make contact with amateurs in Oman, Bulgaria, Russia and... Daventry!

I hope that several Members of our own Scout Troop will be taking part in iceSCOUT 2012.

Yours in Scouting,

Chief
