In July, the Scout troops took part in a 1* canoe course on the River Thames. Caroline took a few pictures, which can be seen by clicking on the picture below.

Group Camp 3rd-5th May 2008.

In order that everybody can fins all the information about the Group Camp this coming weekend, I have added this message, so that the links to the information can be found easily by everybody. Please let me know if you think there should be some information here that you can't see, or if you have difficulty with any of the details.

The following is the programme as organised at the beginning of term. Note that it's possible that the programme will change later, so please keep your ears open at troop meetings for any changes.

1st Finchampstead was out in force at the Three Towers Hike on Saturday 5th April. The hike is a hike around the Berkshire Downs, with routes of 25km for the Scout teams, 45km for the Explorer Scout teams and 70km for the Leader teams.

The Scout Troop was out over the Easter break on Eastrek, a hike camp invented by the Leaders. In winds, snow and rain, 15 Scouts, plus a number of Explorer Scouts on an associated Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition, went on a hike along the Kennet and Avon Canal from Bath back towards home.

This is a major Wokingham District event and we are asking for as many people as possible to attend. We will meet in the Market Square in the town centre at 1.45pm. This is followed by a parade to the church, finishing by approximately 3pm.

Scouts

Do you have plans for the Easter weekend – No! Then join us on our hike along the Kennet and Avon Canal.

With camp only a week away now it's time for a reminder of the kit list!

For those who haven't been to Camp before, this is a fairly standard camp kit list. Please make sure that all items are clearly labelled and, in the case of cutlery, plates etc, marked in such a way as to withstand washing-up.
