We took Scouts and Explorers from across the Forest of Dean to Belgium for a week. We stayed at the De Kluis camp site near St Joris Weert. We cycled, canoed, hiked, swam, saw battlefields, visited the scout museum, and Brussels. It was brilliant.
It was a heatwave for the Scout paddle down the Wye. Started at Luckshall Campsite, camped at Tresseck at Hoarwithy. Decided not to paddle on Sunday, even an early start would have carried risk of over-heating.
Glorious weather today and we had Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, and adults on the water at Mallards Pike.
Another great weekend camp and fun event for Scouts at Cirencester Park.
