The annual Scout Camp is always the highlight of the Scouts year. This is
normally a week away with no parents and time to put into practice all
that has been learnt during the previous year at Scouts. Will they be able
to cook for themselves for a whole week! Only time will tell.
Tanners Hatch Youth Hostel Weekend
A weekend orienteering was undertaken by the Scouts over the weekend of
19/20th October 2001. Based in Tanners Hatch Youth Hostel, in the
middle of Ranmoor Common near Dorking, Surrey, the Scout spent one night
indoors and one night camping outdoors. Saturday was spent orienteering around
the common.
The Scouts took part in Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) and Jamboree on the Internet
(JOTI) on the Sunday.

Caddihoe, Devon 2001
A weekend camp was enjoyed by all at Caddihoe Scout campsite in
Devon over the weekend of the 23rd June 2001.
Whilst on the camp the Scouts had the opportunity to explore the local
woods and try out some orienteering.
The Scouts took full advantage of the pioneering poles made available on the
site to build an impressive gateway complete with portcullis.
All in all a good time was had by all.

Youth Hostel Trip May 2001
The Scouts enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend Youth Hostelling
in South Devon staying at Maypool and Salcombe Hostels as an
alternative in their traditional camping programme.
The weather was glorious permitting the Scouts to cycle around
the lanes of South Devon, including visits to Salcombe, Hope Cove,
Thurlstone and Bigbury-on-Sea.
As some of the Coast Path was open a hike from Maypool to visit the
'Golden Hind' at Brixham and return was enjoyed. The Scouts enjoyed
pretending to be pirates on the ship, each taking turns at the helm;
though none could be persuaded to walk the plank.
