In what is hoped to be the last of our “virtual” activities the Group held a camp over the weekend of the 9th – 11th April 2021.

To gain their Nights Away activity badge, everyone was expected to pack their own bag for the weekend and to build a den or to put up a tent.

The weekend of activities started on the Friday evening with Flagpole Pioneering.

On the Sunday morning there was a stretching activity followed by a Scouts Own with an analogy to yourself as a flower or plant, and two further activities of a Wormery and a Log House.

Other activities included an Urban Orienteering Challenge around Cloughfold, Newchurch and Rawtenstall and a Mini Beast Hunt.

The subject of another website report was a series of inter-Sectional challenges to win a tub of toffees.

Well done to everyone that took part in the weekend. The activities will contribute to your badge work.
