The Zombie Scouts arrive in time for Halloween

52ddc058d96e3This week at Scouts we had a go at Zombie makeup. Something that the Explorers learned how to do last year. The effects, as you can see are pretty good and you can certainly do a lot with toilet roll, liquid latex and theatrical makeup. Some of the Scouts didn't quite get the idea of put a "little" black around your eyes. Kudos to Jacob who walked home with his face all zombied up.

Make a hike stove with a drinks can for free


IMG 1790When Mr Kennedy came to camp and announced it was possible to make a stove out of drinks can we were very interested. The Scouts had a go at making one as their camp gadget for the Outdoors Badge. Since then the Explorers have had a go at making one too and they really are impressive. It turns out that there are lots of different designs but we had a go at making Tom's stove as it requires a single can and a pocket knife to make. Our tip is remove the lid with the can opener on a Victorinox Swiss Army knife if you want a nice neat job. There are loads of websites that give you ideas how to make it. This one even rates all of the different designs. Ours beat a trangia - which is pretty impressive. We're about to try out some of the more complicated designs too.

Can you escape to Sanctuary?

SanctuaryLogo-2 300If you like me like the idea of playing wide games you will love Sanctuary. Sanctuary is a competition designed to test your ability to sneak about the countryside without being coaught by teams of "Catchers" Open to teams of 4-7 Scouts or Explorers it takes place on Saturday the 12th of November. If you want to enter a team in the event let the Scout or Explorer leaders know ASAP. More information about the event can be seen on the Sanctuary website here http://www.operationsanctuary.org.uk/
