Read moreOn Sunday 22nd February Scouts, Explorers and Adults from 1st Bedworth were out in force to bag pack at the ASDA Store in Nuneaton. The colleagues at Nuneaton ASDA were welcoming and friendly and we would like to thank them very much for giving us this opportunity to raise funds in their store. We are truly grateful to the generous people of the Nuneaton area who donated a fantastic £1237.66 to our funds. Our founder Lord Baden-Powell expected Scouts to earn the money they need through their own honest efforts. This is a principal which still holds true today and is why you will see Scouts bag packing rather than holding street collections, though of course we will always assist other worthy causes with their street collections or similar. This is the first of a number of Bag Packs we will be doing this year. Look out for us in Bedworth Tesco on Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th April !
Read moreI have chosen lighting a fire as because that is the thing I always look forward to doing! When we look for sticks it's about who can find the most and the biggest ones. There is always a sense of competition. By the time we finished collecting sticks there is always a pile of sticks as big as a sky scraper.
Read moreI really love abseiling because of the trill and rush of adrenalin, plus it is really cool and fun. I used to hate it before I tried it but now I really love it. I also like hiking & going on long walks. I like adventurous activities, this is because I love sport/.
Read moreCooking is my favourite because I can always improve and I can share it once I am finished. Doing competitions helps to improve skill, speed and knowledge while being fun at the same time. You also van see how others cook and present their food, so you can steal ideas and use them yourself.
Read moreMy favourite activity is pot holing. It's dark and nobody can see anything. It is also really wet and you have to work as a team to navigate your way through the tunnels to find the start again. I like this activity because people easily get lost, and if you have not torch you would have no change of finding anything, including the rest of your team.
Read moreAbseiling is my favourite activity at Scouts because it's really fun. When I was little I hated heights but after I went rock climbing with Scouts I got over my fear. I found that I wanted to do abseiling and crate stacking. I soon found that I likes to do a lot of adventurous activities which are exciting and daring. When abseiling you go down backwards. That's why abseiling is my favourite activity.
Read moreMy favourite activity is cooking on fires because I like to try new things. Another reason why I like cooking is because I would like to be a cook. I think that cooking on fires tastes better than in an oven. Cooking is a good skill to have because it will help you in later life. On fires we have cooked sausages , potatoes, fish, pizza and much more to, We have used fires several times but now thanks to cooking on fires I will eat a lot more at home.
Read moreMy favourite activity is canoeing because you get a bit wet. I liked it when we canoed from Bedworth to Nuneaton. We did a game where we all got out from our boats and we had to stand on our boats. If you fell of you would have to start all over again. I went in two different boats, one was called a canoe and the other was called a kayak. We went on a canoe safari and we stopped off and had a barbeque. One person from the girls group and one person from the boys fell into the horrid dirty water and it was fun.
Read moreMy favourite Scout time was when we made Christmas food. We made snowmen out of marsh mellows , icing & smarties, which were delicious. We also made snowman sup which was made out hot chocolate, marsh mellows and flake. We put the stuff in a bag and sealed it , then we stuck a candy cane on the front.
