Hawks Explorers have a pioneering challenge in a couple of weeks, so tonight they learned and practiced a selection of knots, lashings and hitches in preparation!

Hawks went geocaching around Irton and Seamer last night!
We found 7 locations but 1 of the containers was missing so we couldn't log that one!
Some very inventive containers and hiding places 😄

A brilliant night working towards the Survival Skills badge!
Hawks Explorers were taught how to fillet a fish by our very own chef leader Ethan.🐟🐠
They prepared their fish then cooked them over a fire, they tasted delicious!
Most of them had never done this before and were pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted!
A great way to give them the skills and confidence to be more adventurous with cooking!

Hawks Explorers were set the challenge of a scavenger hunt this evening!
They scoured the neighbourhood for 30 items on their list, and each team had to send a photo to prove what they found.
Some very entertaining and inventive pictures! 😄

Hawks Explorers had a productive evening catching up with their current fundraising activities and then sewing badges onto some of their camp blankets 🧵🪡
It was great to see them trying very hard with the sewing, we did get quite a few sewn on! 😃

Hawkes wrapped up the Spring term in style with a trip to Olympia Leisure! 🎳🎯

From strikes on the bowling lanes to some friendly competition with interactive darts, it was a fantastic evening full of fun and laughter. A great way to celebrate the end of term together!

We also also invested Pippa, welcome to Hawkes Explorer Scouts.

Wishing everyone a well-deserved break 🌟

Hawkes Explorer Scouts kicked off the week with some fantastic team-building exercises at the Scout Hut! 🏕️

Next, we took on a night away at Birch Hall, where we put our skills to the test with night navigation and we made it to the trig point at Langdale Rigg End! 🧭

Another amazing week of Scouting, filled with adventure and teamwork. Huge thanks to all the volunteers who made this possible! 🙏❤️

Hawkes Explorer Scouts commenced their DONUT preparation programme last night. The session focused on key navigation skills, including map-reading fundamentals, grid references, route card preparation (with timings calculated using Naismith’s Rule), and the use of magnetic bearings.

It was an excellent start to the New Year. In response to the high level of engagement and enthusiasm, it has been agreed that future meetings will be extended by an additional 15 minutes 😀
