We’ve done it before, and we’re determined to do it again.

Oct 22, 23, 24 of 2021 proved a wonderful opportunity to get back to camping.   The weather was a little chilly but the campfires kept all toasty.

2021Over the next eight-weeks, our Sections will visit eight different countries, develop new skills through fun challenges and support their communities and the planet by leading exciting “Scouts for Sustainability” activities.

With the help of a symbolic transporting compass, Scouting members can ping around the globe to different destinations quickly.   In each country they are faced with a challenge or a fun activity to champion as a Section. Once completed, the Section can collect a crest for that week and eventually curate the full composite crest!

Each week, Scouting mmbers will acquire a “GADGET” in pursuing their adventures; these items will be used in the activity for Week 8: Contraption Action, so they will be holding on to their GADGETS!

As COVID-19 becomes more controlled, the Cubs, Scouts and Venturers are taking an opportunity camp on the weekend of October 23^rd at Camp Heidelberg.

There is excitement and great expectation while the busy work of preparation occurs.

With the forecast saying thundershower for our party time we are moving to the church for our fun.    See you there from 2:00 until 5:30
