As promised... here is the reel from our epic crate stacking session at Silver Cross Scout Campsite! 🧗‍♂️🏗️

Every single one of our young people did absolutely fantastically, reaching new heights, conquering fears, and showing amazing balance. And let’s not forget the leaders—plenty of them put in a brilliant effort too (even if there were a few wobbly legs and spectacular tumbles)! 🤪👇

Turn up the volume and check out the high-flying action! 🎥💥

Better late than never! 🎒 We’re still catching up on our Facebook updates, but we just had to share this brilliant reel from our Cub camp a few weeks ago at Silver Cross Scout Campsite! 👇🎥

We had a fantastic weekend, made even more special by having the Glamorgan West Area Chair and his family join us for the adventure.

The rain threatened to spoil the fun, but it stayed away just long enough for us to smash all our activities. It certainly didn't dampen our spirits as the Cubs worked incredibly hard to tackle their Outdoor Challenge Badge! 🪵⛺️

We also had three of our older Scouts take the opportunity to run their own independent camp right next to us. They did an absolute stellar job looking after themselves—keeping the fire roaring and cooking up a storm. (Though we might have had to give them a gentle nudge when it came to the washing up! 🧼👀)

Oh, and we also took on the crate stacking at Silver Cross... but that epic adventure deserves a post of its own. Watch this space! 🧗‍♂️💥

There's a rumour that these pioneering poles were once the property of the original 42nd Scout Group before they made thier way over to Woodcraft Scouts in Sketty. They were then rescued by us before Woodcraft was sadly demolished a few years ago.

Alas, they only managed one more big pioneering project with us several years ago, a big monkey bridge, but they are now riddled with wood worm and splits. So they are out of our stores ready to be re-purposed or burned.

Full post tomorrow but for now a massive WELL DONE to all our Leaders, young people, parents and pets for their hard work at Brombil Tonight. All of these bags of rubbish picked, bagged and barrowed / carried from the top of the reservoir to be collected in the morning! AND AND we were on the news

A massive thank you to Scubawales for another incredible session! 🤿 Your patience, humor, and expertise are the perfect match for our group.

From mastering new skills to pushing their boundaries, our Scouts are truly "diving" into new challenges. It’s no surprise this has become a highlight of our annual calendar—and let’s be honest, the leaders enjoy it just as much as the kids! 🫧

It was also great to share the water with Clydach Scout Group - 2nd Swansea Valley. Always a pleasure catching up with you all. See you at the next one!
