85th’s Action Packed Weekend
The sun shone over Everton last weekend as the 85th Inverkip & Wemyss Bay held a record breaking Group Fun Camp with more campers than they have ever had before, all in the same place at one time. The new activities at Everton helped make a fantastic weekend for no less than 157 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Leaders. Every age group had a go at Crate Climbing, Zip Wire, Slimy Slide, Car Pulling, Pillow Fighting, Human Table Football and even a dazzling glo-stick fuelled night-game in the forest. In amongst the fun, they managed to assemble 5 mountain bikes which they are donating to a very worthy community project, with thanks to Boston Scientific who kindly donated £100 to help make that project possible. The Group are now looking forward to some more camps within their own sections before they come together again in a few weeks for their Annual Group Barbeque.
Annual Parade
All groups should be in possession of instructions for the Annual Parade taking place this Sunday 6th June to Westburn Church, service starting at around 3.00pm.
Scout Amateur Radio Club
Members of Greenock District Scouts Amateur Radio Club provided a Special Event Station for GirlGuiding Greenock Division Centenary Camp at Ardgowan Estate last weekend. Scout Stephanie McCann had her 1st experience of operating on HF over the weekend and proved to be very successful at this being able to control a very busy afternoon & evening on the radio with many radio operators commenting on how confident she sounded on the radio. Over 200 contacts were made over the weekend including Stations from N & S Ireland, Netherlands, USA, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Island of Gigha & from an oil rig off the coast of Norway and all over the UK. The Radio Club would like to thank Greenock Division Guides for their hospitality over the weekend.
