On Sunday 17th May 2009, the 38th Rossendale Explorer’s Group organized an Incident Hike based at the Warren. Although the weather was against us Scouters and parents battled through it to complete the course set out by the Explorers.
Consisting of six bases set at strategic points around local footpaths:-
: Problem Solving
: First Aid
: Semaphore
: Fitness
: Cooking
: Tracking
The groups found their way to the next base by following tracking signs on the floor placed by the Explorer Leaders. Once each group had completed the course, it was back to the Warren for the results, the presentation of the trophies by the Group Chairman and refreshments which were served by the “Friends of the 38th”. Thank you to all who helped – £101 was raised on the day.

A special anniversary party was held on the 9th May 2009 to celebrate 25-years of Beavers at the 38th. Current Beaver Scouts were joined by former Beavers to commemorate the event. Special invited guests were Anthony Cooper the first Beaver Scout in 1984, the Mayor of Rossendale Councilor Christine Gill, Janet Anderson MP and District Officials.
The Beavers and visitors were entertained by Trevor Greenwood whose magic show kept the children spell bound.
Sandwiches, crisp, cakes and jelly were prepared and served by the “Friends of the 38th”, before a game of pass the parcel and the cutting of our anniversary cake by Anthony.
Founder Beaver Scout Leader Andrew Cooper thanked all for attending and made special mention to the Leaders he has worked with over the past 25 years.
