Skills Day - 13/04/08
54 Scouts and 18 Adults representing 4 Districts attended an enjoyable, relaxed and very productive skills day at the County Site, Nine Ashes. The wet weather mainly passed to the south of us, but we still had some rain but the wind blew through the site and kept us smiling, as usual it didn't let us off, as it showered on us whilst packing up and breaking flag for a successful day.
The bases involved communications, navigation, fire lighting & building, pioneering, safe use of axes/sawes/knives and basic first aid.
This gave the Scouts an opportunity to learn new skills, expand & refresh skills and hands on experience to benefit the forthcoming outdoor summer and camping season as well as how to teach others.
