We held the Scout Group AGM in April. As well as the standard meeting, short, sweet and legal, we had a climbing wall, archery, a great egg race, displays and the Jamboree Team kept us fed and watered by running the refreshments.
We ran a scuba experience session (Tri-Dive) in the Lydney Leisure Centre pool in January. Several scouts had a go and one has continued with the sport to complete all the training and hours necessary to qualify as a PADI open water diver.
