Some lovely team building activity we did at our camp the beginning of this month, it was such an amazing experience and we can’t wait to plan the next one!

I am so happy to say our District Camp went well! We got to invite some of our Norwegian friends over and have a truly wonderful time. I’ll be sharing some of the fantastic photos over the next couple of weeks but thought I should start off with a few from set up and some wise words from David Smart who played a huge part in making this camp happen - I don’t know what we’d do without all his ideas!

“Where to begin….. in 2017 a small group of Leaders, Scouts and Explorers went to Bodo in Northern Norway to a Jamboree. Fast forward to 2026 and 120 Argyll and Norwegian Scouts just spent a week at Barrwood Campsite enjoying fellowship, and learning. The whole shibang was delivered in good humor and with a soundtrack of laughter.

The photos cannot convey the joy that those of us attending enjoyed.

Enjoy the fotis!

David”

This weekend some of our Explorers were out on expeditions again! This time it was for qualifying and practice Silver Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. From sunny skies to continuous rain the weather was up and down but our Explorer’s kept going. We’re all so proud of them and looking forward to see what they do next! Thanks to Richard Fish and Sarah Griffin for making sure it all goes smoothly, from a distance! Here’s a few pictures from the trip:

So very worthy of this award!!

I am sure you will all join me in congratulating Fiona and Katy for making it to the finalist stage of this years Oban & Lorn Volunteer of the Year in the Regional Hero category. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony taking place at the end of June and I for one know they would get my vote as they are without a doubt absolute heros to our troop who wouldn't exist without them. 🌟
