Archery and shooting day
The scouts were once again split into their usual groups and were allocated a time slot for the first activity of the day which was archery. The Camp committee still on great form had double booked the archery range. This was very difficult to operate however we had no injuries or problems. The archery session ran for 3 hours and the groups had an hour each. Well done to George, Anastasia and Daniel who came top 3 out of the whole group, George winning with a score of 69. The archery equipment wasn’t very good however the scouts took this in their stride and had a great laugh.
After lunch the scouts went air rifle shooting. Sadly I had to stay behind and prepare dinner and also supervise the finishing element of the Explorer’s bivi. I was informed afterwards that everybody really enjoyed it and we had a range of abilities and first time shooters but everybody improved while their session went on. Out of the Explorers the top 3 were James, Georgina and George. Out of the Scouts the top 3 were Anastasia, Hannah and Daniel. Well done guys.
For tea we had Nick stew made by both members of the Peace family. I got into it a little too much and cut my finger while cutting potatoes, but I returned a little while latter to finish the rest of the potatoes. The stew with dumplings went down a treat and everybody had great helpings and no one was hungry, Anton was even defeated by the amount which was put onto his plate.
After dinner Stotfold entered into a football tournament (maybe the large dinner wasn’t such a good idea) we had 3 teams enter and only one team made it through to the semi finals. Sadly we lost on penalties but well done guys for getting that far.
After this everybody was shattered, the Explorers were sleeping in their bivi in survival bags and the scouts were fast asleep as soon as we sent them to there tents.
Good night and sleep well
