Leighton-Linslade District Centenary Camp: 3rd- 5th July 2009
This year Scouting in Leighton Buzzard and Linslade District celebrates its 100th year and our District team are holding a camp for us at The Boyd Campsite and Activity Centre in Henlow. All sections, from all groups in the town have been invited, and 1st Linslade Scout Group will be attending. This camp will be our main summer camp this year, and will be our focus for this term.
Many activities have been planned for the weekend in zones, water / Outdoor Life / Activity / Friendship. Some of the exciting activities included are:
Canoeing , rafting, greasy pole, sponge catapults, water slide, water balloon volleyball, hand made boat race, fishing, climbing, assault course, gun run, basic cooking, treasure hunt, making bird boxes, pond dipping, rifle shooting, archery,fire building, backwoods cooking, whittling, branding, shelter building, solar cooking, board games, cards, woggle making, marble painting, giant jenga, cookie making, exploding paints, camp postcards, and much more……
As you can see, there will be plenty to do for all Scouts, Cubs and Beavers.
There is also a theme for each Group for the weekend, involving dressing up, sedan chair racing, a huge camp fire and of course a camp gateway. 1st Linslade have drawn “The 1980’s and 1990’s” as our theme. Your leaders will be discussing this with you over the next couple of weeks.
The camp will start after arrival on the Friday evening, continuing with a “wide game”. Activity sessions will run all day Saturday, with the main event, the sedan chair race, early evening, followed by a large campfire. More activity sessions on Sunday morning with departure for home mid afternoon. The cost of the camp will be £30, which includes all camping fees, all activities and food for the weekend.
Please register for a place on our website, and bring £15 deposit to the next meeting. The balance of £15 will be required by 18th June. Kit list and permission form will be circulated in due course. We hope that as many as possible will want to take part in this Centenary celebration.
