Lets have a great group centenary year in 2010!

Scout Winter Camp
Botany Bay
26-28 Feb 2010

We will revisit the purpose built Scout lodge and campsite at Botany Bay, Tintern for a weekend of "Back to Basics". The weekend aims to introduce the new scouts and the new leaders, helpers to some traditional scouting skills. We've even got a proper campfire arranged.

Group Camp
21-23 May 2010

We return to Botany Bay en masse in May for the first of this year's Group Camps. The theme "The Romans Are Coming".

The ideas for this are being developed.

Cubs activity day 25 July 2010.

Last year's fantastic fun day at the equestrian centre near stroat & tutshill will be repeated in 2010! A massive photoblog was added from the 2009 event.

Various Summer Camps and Backwoods Challenge

The 2009 summer season of camping, nights out and Backwoods challenges was very successful. Many thanks to all volunteers for your help.
