Scouts Summer Camp 2024 – Day 6

Posted on August 9th, 2024 by Carl Gaskell

Thursday brought us our last full day at camp. We were heading for a walk across to Worm’s Head – a small headland at Rhossili, and the furthest westerly point of the Gower Peninsula.

It gets cut-off from the mainland at high-tide, so we had to be sure of an early start.

With the weather staying so nice all week, the Scouts even got to see the local seals relaxing on the shoreline.

We had a brief rest from the walk at site, then headed down to Horton beach for a swim and a BBQ, before returning to camp for a quiz and games.

Scouts Summer Camp 2024 – Day 5

Posted on August 9th, 2024 by Carl Gaskell

Day 5 was an early start – it was mountain biking first thing. And so, after a hearty breakfast, we headed to the Afan Forest for a ride up, down, around and over the many amazing trails.

At the same site, we found the Welsh Miners Museum. And so, after lunch, we explored the history of mining in South Wales, with private tours of the museum.

For the evening, we went to Porthcawl and to the funfare at Coney Beach, then over to McDonalds for dinner!

Scouts Summer Camp 2024 – Day 4

Posted on August 9th, 2024 by Carl Gaskell

Tuesday marked the day of our Cooking Competition. This year, the theme was Ultimate Burgers and a fruit based desert. The Scouts were full of great ideas!

They broke into teams and came up with their menus, then headed out to the supermaket to buy their ingredients. On return, they built fires, chopped ingredients, and set to work.

The results were amazing – they tasted as good as they looked!

Then we all set off for an afternoon walk down to Three Cliffs Bay, taking in the many sights along the way.

Scouts & Zebra Explorers Summer Camp 19

Posted on August 4th, 2019 by Steve McCarthy

We are all just back from an incredibly busy week in the Gower.

A great set up with young people and Leaders meant for a really amazing week.

From beaches, to Coasteering and surfing there was definitely a coastal theme.

Other highlights included trips to Worms Head, cooking, swimming, Porthcawl fun fare and the end of camp Disco.

It seems everyone had a great week.

Cub Camp Summer 18

Posted on July 20th, 2018 by Steve McCarthy

The Crays Pond campsite near Goring was the fitting location for 3rd Reading’s 2018 Summer Cub Camp – originally founded in the 1920s, the picturesque location was the perfect setting for over 40 Cubs to discover some of the more traditional scouting skills, such as pioneering and camp fire cooking, as well as to become acquainted with a variety of more contemporary ones, such as circus skills and bicycle pump rocket blasting – perhaps not surprisingly, a firm favourite! Slathered in sun tan lotion to cope with tremendous weekend weather, the Cubs revelled in the camaraderie and the challenges. 2018 Summer Cub Camp was a tremendous experience for young and old hands alike.
