The Mighty 4th Ashby Scouts

The month a May was a good one for Scouts, The group that went to the District camp came away with many trophies. On Saturday they took turns to toil in the kitchen preparing the evening meal, as we were representing Barbados the preparation involved food and spices they had not come across before. They cooked meats, fish, made crab soup and baked cakes, all on gas in the mess tent. Sunday was supposed to be a repeat only this time they were to cook on open fires, unfortunately, in true Whit camp tradition, the rain came down and put a stop to that.

We retained the chariot design trophy but were disqualified from the race for taking shortcuts, we also won the volley ball, Tug-of-War and Kart race, I’d like to thank Angie for all the time she spent organising the food and showing the Scouts what to do with it.

June is going to be a busy month, most activities being on the water. Please note that we will be using the Katakanus on Thursday 22^nd and 29^th, the Scouts will be told which session they are on. If not on the water the Scouts will be at Willesley.
