Holmwood & Capel Scout Troup

For 10.5 to 14 year olds
Meet each Tuesday at The South Holmwood Scout Centre (Behind the old South Holmwood School on the A24 going towards Dorking)
From 7.00pm to 9.00pm

There are noisier, wilder and often wetter games to play.
There are maps and compasses to use and hikes to walk.
There are fires and cooking and camping to enjoy.
And there are some exciting challenges to survive!

 

Last term

We spent a long time learning about Emergency Aid but then had to put our knowledge into practise at a mock up emergency minibus crash!

We hiked all day and slept the night in bivouacs. It turned out to be the wettest night of the year! And we’ve been to Merstham Caves. Scary!

Scoutabout

 

Our Scout Troop joined about 5000 scouts and Guides from all over Surrey in June this year at the South of England Showground for SCOUTABOUT. They camped there for 2 nights and took part in many of the 200 activities on offer.

24th Dorking Scouts take part in Scoutabout
 

 

 

And then there’s our week long Summer Camp during the summer holidays.
