With 32 Scouts in the entire troop, the leaders were very surprised to find only 8 of them turned up this evening for our annual cycle ride. As we soon found out, this smaller group size has its advantages.
This years cycle took us along the river into town and Christchurch meadows identical to the route we did last year. Whereas last year it took us much longer to reach out destination due to the range of cycling ability, the Scouts that turned up this evening were all very strong riders and therefore we were able to reach our destination in record time.
On the way down, we came across a wild Ben along the river without a bike so Skip offered a little bit of a lift:
Upon reaching our destination, the Scouts had the opportunity to play Frisbee. Seamus had also brought some balloons that he promptly filled with water and started throwing at the leaders and scouts alike. Hugely appreciated all round as you can imagine.
Next week will be our final meeting of this school year and everyone is invited. Come down and join us for our End of Year BBQ in which we plan to have an evening full of celebrating this year of Scouting with a few other games and things mixed in. Skip will be sending an email soon with all the details.
If you are wondering why we have skipped a few blog posts, that’s because I’m still working on getting everything together for the huge water sports post I plan to do. That post should be with you before Summer Camp.
Have a wonderful week!
