We may be interested in setting up a Network group
Submitted by tor on Sun, 27/01/2008 - 20:53.As we now have a number of Explorers that are/are going to be 18 or older - and we have some problems fitting more Explorers into the available space we may have to set up a Network unit.
Network are for 18 - 25 years old - and have some significant differences from Explorers and Scouts when it comes to the whole permission system. As 18 year olds are defined as adults by the Scout Association they can basically govern themselves and go whenever/wherever they want to go without going through the whole Scout permits system...

On Friday, the Eagles Explorers went to Frost Camp at Bentley Copse for a weekend away from home, to have fun and take part in the activities provided. The activities available ranged from Archery, Air-Rifle Shooting (prone and standing), the Games room (pool, computers etc) and many many more. I think the explorers enjoyed themselves! We had good weather - no rain during the day! - the food was good and there was good behaviour all round. There was only one moment of panic at the beginning of the camp where we found out we were missing poles for the Mess Tent, but we used our brains and well..did without the poles, which seemed to work.

Frost Camp 2009
Submitted by tor on Sun, 18/01/2009 - 20:24.Frost Camp 2009 finished this morning - and last night was a memorable night for the explorers due to the combinations of a full gale, and a rather sub-standard Fiesta tent (bought on Ebay from the Jamboree in 2007(?)), which does not behave terribly well in high winds.
It rained very hard in the night as well - making most things muddy.

Packing
Setting up camp before the Explorers and Scouts arrive - they will arrive after dark, so it makes life a lot easier if we have the tents ready.
