Cubs go to Barrwood

This weekend the Cubs went to Barrwood for the weekend and here are a few photos of what they got up to. 

There was a lot of cooking and chatting around the fire...then some great knot-work to make stretchers to carry the injured around...and they also got the canoes out and had some fun on the water. 

Finally they made some great clay monsters using natural materials they found around the camp. 

Everyone had a great time and a lot of tired and slightly mucky cubs came home today.  

Turner Prize here we come...

This evening scouts took inspiration from Andy Goldsworthy and their imaginations to the river to create some environmental art.

Invertrossachs Camp - Balfron, Drymen and Killearn Scouts

(click for a larger version)

A couple of weeks ago the Scouts went on a joint camp with Drymen and Killearn Scouts. It was great to meet some other Scouts in the area. We seemed to have the whole of Invertrossachs to ourselves and  made the most of the place.

Two of our leaders now have bellboat skipper permits so they took us out on the water. We also did some bivoacing, walking and of course all enjoyed the food and campfires.
