The 38th National Scout Rifles Championship

The National Small-bore Rifle Association holds their annual Scouts rifles Championships between 17th and 19th of October.  Boreatton always make up almost all of the Shropshire team and this year there are 3 places up for grabs for the camp. 

You must have shot at Alans a few weeks ago and be able to commit to weekly training sessions.  The camp is likely to cost up to £60 but for that you get all your food, transport, a lovely tent to sleep in, and the chance to compete at the home of British shooting!

Oh, and you get to wear the coveted Shropshire Rifles hoody.

Only 3 places - FIRST COME FIRST SERVED!!!

Sausage abuse.......

Coke can stoves are ace, as our happy Explorer would confirm if his mouth wasn't full of sausage!

This Thursday.......the sausage can can!

Please bring along a matching pair of drinks cans on Thursday if you have some - we will be doing unspeakable things to sausages with them! 

zooooom.....

Just like Luke and Phil above, you too can become a racing driver!  We are karting this Thursday at Rednall Karting track.  It is an early start - 6.00, we should finish around 7.30 (not 7.00 as on the permission form), and please make sure you bring the activity permission form!!!!!!  No form - no race : (
As this is a motor sport please wear strong trainers or boots (no flipflops ), overalls, helmets and gloves will be provided.   This activity is FREE (wow) if you have paid your subs (hint hint).

The Bickley Coppice Nearly The End Of Summer Camp...............

Have you been to Bickley Coppice before?  Every year we run a weekend camp there for the Scouts which is a little bit unusual!  They cook all their meals on wood fires, learn to carve and to make fires, saw and cut wood with an axe, and build a bivouac and sleep in it (if they want to).  This year we have opened the camp up for Explorers as well.  You can be as active as you want or just sit poking the fire all day - no pressure to do anything, just enjoy the last of the Summer sunshine in a beautiful wood.

This is a very laid back Scout camp and most Troops don't have the opportunity to do these activities, so if you would like to make the most of the last of the summer weather then sign up!!!

 

Intrepid Explorers......

They are almost ready for the off and look very chilled! 
Russia and Mongolia?  Bring it on!
