Scouts Easter Camp 2015
Posted on April 4th, 2015 by Carl Gaskell
This Easter, the 3rd Reading Scouts took a trip to Symonds Yat in the beautiful Wye Valley, for an action packed weekend Gorge Walking, Caving, Hiking, and Abseiling, before heading back via Bath for a swim at the leisure centre.
The weather wasn’t too kind for us, but as we spent most of the time in the water anyway, it really didn’t matter too much. And we had a lovely open fire back at the camp site to warm ourselves by – along with all the usual fun activities and party games.
We’re all certainly looking forward to the next camps – the 12.5 and Summer Camps later this year..

Spring Term Update
Posted on January 6th, 2015 by Carl Gaskell
From all at the 3rd Reading, we wish you a very Happy New Year 2015!
Just a quick reminder that the Scouts sections will start back this week on Wed 7th / Fri 9th Jan respectively. The first meeting will be at the hut at usual.
Over the coming weeks, expect to take part in a Town Centre Challenge, visit BBC Berkshire and Reading Football Club, as well as all the other usual fun Scouting activities in and around the hut. And of course, we’ll be planning our Easter Camp too! It’s gonna be a busy start to the year!
More info on some of these activities will be available soon, as we finalise the details/bookings etc.
In the meantime, check out some of those dates for the diary on our new Spring Term Programme – available here now.
Scouts Winter Camp 2014
Posted on December 26th, 2014 by Carl Gaskell
This year’s Winter Camp took 45 of us to Downe Scout Activity Centre in Kent, where we all enjoyed a mixture of both on and off-site activities, in the bright, cold and crisp countryside.
Despite being quite short, it was a packed weekend, with Scouts taking part in a half day of Arial Trekking and Zip Wires, and a half day visit to the Scout Aviation Centre at Biggin Hill, looking at some of the old World War bunkers, getting up close and personal with some of the many aircraft onsite, and taking to the skies in the fabulous onsite SAC COMET 4 Flight Simulator. (Many thanks to the guys at Biggin Hill Scout Aviation Centre)
And of course to cap it all off, we had our Winter Camp Christmas Party with a full roast turkey dinner – and pudding, and an evening’s fun and games!
The following morning we packed up and left site, and traveled to Chislehurst, where we toured the vast underground Cave System by the light of old-fashioned oil lamps, before heading on back up the motorway to grab lunch and return home.
There’s many more pictures on our Facebook page too – Parents, send us a request and we’ll grant you access!!

Tally Ho!
Posted on November 5th, 2014 by Carl Gaskell
This week, Scouts from both Wednesday and Friday sections – and parents too – joined forces to take a trip to RAF Benson in Oxfordshire.
We were treated to a fantastic insight on what really happens behind the scenes at one of the UK’s bases, and even got to climb onboard the Puma helicopters and chat to the technicians working on them.
Many thanks to The 230 Tiger Squadron for giving up your evening taking so many of us around!
