Scouts Photo Albums

During the Spring Term 2012 our Scouts went "Back to Basics" and tried their hand at simple Camp Pioneering Gadgets.

At the troop night on Wednesday 9th Nov 2011 our scouts, under the instruction of Ben Harris, had to make pionerring projects that would light fireworks remotely from a safe distance. A safe and fun night was had by all. Well done Ben. At the end of the evening three more new Scouts were invested.

In June on 2011 a few of the Patrol Leaders went on their own camp as part of their Gold Award, here are the pictures.

In May of 2011 the scouts and leaders went scuba diving, here are the pictures, from both above and below the water.

Over the last few, as part of the Electronics Badge, the Scout’s have been making their own VU meter. This is a circuit device that detects sounds and displays them as a series of lights, the more lights that light up the louder the sound. The Scouts had to learn how to solder and read the correct components symbols and values to put them in the right place. When they were competed and checked the Scouts were allowed to take them home. We thank Colin (Baloo) from Lay Electrics for supplying the kits and for helping the Scouts build them.

Here are a few pictures taken during the 10th November meeting where the Scouts engaged in a pioneering competition.
