We are at the Woodley carnival with burgers, hotdogs, bacon rolls, nachos and lots of drink drinks

This morning we’ve opened our gates to leaders, parents and helpers to come and lend a hand tidying and clearing space around the hut. The side of our building is now a clear space ready for the next stage of our plan, turning it into an outdoor classroom area.

Additionally we stripped the side of the shop and are re-cladding it, greatly improving the visual appearance of the building.

End of day two.

Millions of miles walked… Lots of very sore feet… something nutritious needed to be eaten … sleep to catch up on. And two scouts moving up to explorers.

A great effort all round. All backed by the great bunch of leaders.

This weekend our scouts are on their expedition camp. Glorious weather, the complete opposite of the last time we did this camp 2 years ago.

Two days of hiking with an overnight camp they have to set up and food they have to prepare.

A rather easy one for the leaders who meet them at pre arranged checkpoints. ;)

This morning some of our scout and explorer leaders went to Paddicks Patch to replace the roof on the outside classroom area.

This has helped create a safer, dry space for explorers who use the site regularly, but also all other sections that use the facilities for outdoor learning.

It’s a great improvement.

Last night was one of the most successful firework displays put on by 1st Woodley Scouts at Rivermead School.

The music was playing, the display was impressive and the barbecue was non stop.

A big thank you to all who came and made it a fun family night. Lots of very happy kids seen smiling as they left.

And a bigger thanks to those who volunteered their time to run the gates, organise traffic, cook food, make drinks, and man the stalls. Without your help we wouldn’t be able to put on this event.

If you took any good pictures, please post them.

And it’s goodbye to the kayak trailer that’s been blocking the side of the hut.

Slowly we’re clearing the space around the hut and utilising it for equipment we use for cub and scout activities.
