District Camp 2002

At the end of May we joined all the other Cub Packs from Exeter at the District Cub Camp.

The Camp was for a weekend, and was held at Huish Woods Campsite in Somerset.

15 boys came, and we took part in a lot of different activities organised on the Camp Site, including orienteering . . .(photo above)

It rained a lot during the weekend, but there were a few patches of sun.

The boys particularly enjoyed the archery. (The Leaders had a go, and enjoyed it too!)

Robin Hood!

straight for the bull!

Showing us all how to do it!

Other activities included a tree trail, a visit to the very muddy adventure playground on the Campsite (after which several of the boys had to be hosed down before we'd let them back into camp!), and a crawl through an artificial cave system to get muddy again.

And the final planned activity was using hot irons from the fire for branding.

We made this!

On Saturday night it was raining so hard that we couldn't have a camp fire. So we stayed in our mess tent and entertained ourselves, instead.
