Expedition planning

Where we are going.

Last night I popped in to Scouts to have a quick visit and see what they were doing this week. They were taking part in some red nose day challenges. Then I nipped next door to the District HQ for the presentation to the Scouts and Explorers, who are coming to Wales with us at Easter, and their parents.



The Scouts in our building

The trip is a joint venture and is part of our centenary celebrations. We are travelling to Coetmor mill and introducing some of our Scouts to the delights of hillwalking in the Welsh Mountains as well as taking part in cycling and climbing. We will be accompanied by a group of Explorer Scouts. 

Some of the Explorers who will be join us in Wales

They have been invited because they are all ex-3rd Ware and so are attending as past members of the Group. The Leaders running it are also all 3rd Ware members or are Explorer Leaders who are past members of 3rd Ware.

No one told me that once you join 3rd Ware there is no escape because they will keep inviting you back!

with their map skills

The presentation gave all the information needed for the trip and showed examples of suitable kit to take if one is going to be safe and comfortable. That is for the human of course, being a monkey I pretty much come as I am.

I will be blogging whilst we are away to keep you up to date and to give the parents of the young people a small insight into the things their son or daughter is up to.
