Grand Howl - Saturday
As Allen Davis was visiting us we got him to do the Grand Howl to start things off |
|

Bit chilly for camping
Mang and Chil braved the cold and slept in their tent rather than the lovely warm heated dormitories |
|

On the trail
Harry prepares to lay a tracking sign |
|
|

Which direction?
The Columbus group find a tracking sign |
|
|
|
|
|
Gone Home
The Scott team decide to use this campfire circle as a giant "Gone Home" sign - and then pose for pictures |
|
|
|
Hot soup for lunch
After all that tracking it was nice to come back into the warm for lunch |
|
|
|
Tucking in
The hot soup went down very well |
|
|
|
More badge work
The Cubs had to draw a local map to show their route from home to school or Cubs |
|
|

|
|
Time for a break
The providore was open in the afternoon so the Cubs queued to spend their pocket money |
|
|
|
Happy birthday to you
James' parents sent him to camp with a lovely birthday cake which we enjoyed on Saturday afternoon |
|
|
|
On the top of Jarn Mound
We went to visit Jarn Mound. The Cubs take a break at the top |
|
|
|
Mound with a view
Unfortunately even in winter the trees now obscure the view. The Cubs look to see what they should have been able to see |
|
|
|
|
|
Stuck in the mud
The path back was rather muddy and Fraser almost got stuck |
|
|
|
Local landmarks
More badgework - identify the local landmarks and mark them on a map of Bracknell |
|
|
|
More landmarks
Eamon looks rather uncertain about these ones |

Pudding
Strawberry or butterscotch? |
|
|
|
Drying up
The Cubs had to take their turns drying up |

Campfire without the fire
We didn't let a small thing like having no fire stop us |
|
|
|
|
|
Funky monkey
Mang and Chil lead the funky chicken song |
|
|

Morning sleepyheads
On Sunday morning we had to wake the Cubs up |
|
|
|
Shere Khan leads Grand Howl
Sunday morning started with Grand Howl and then Cubs Own which Shere Khan ran |
|
|
|
Free time
We deliberately didn't take a football but the Cubs still managed to amuse themselves outside |
|
|
|
|
|
Treasure hunt
To put all the skills they had learned over the weekend together the Cubs were set a treasure hunt |
|
|
|
Where next?
The clues took them across the whole campsite |
|
|
|
Down at snake lake
Time for another clue by the frozen lake |
|
|
|
A final Grand Howl
