🚴‍♂️💨 Our Scouts absolutely smashed their cyclist activity badge with a scenic bike ride from HQ, along the river and on to the coast, finishing off with some chips at Roker beach! 🌊

Well done everyone - some serious pedal power on display! 💪 #Scouts #CyclistBadge

Taking care of your bike, knowing how to fix it and safely ride it is all part of the Cyclist Activity Badge, which our Scouts worked towards tonight. 🚲

Could a bike ride be coming up…?

Scouts had a fantastic time at @HollywoodBowlUK on Friday night, chosen by them for their Christmas party and last Troop night of 2023!

These Scouts are working towards their World Challenge Badge, and after a visit to our friends @sunderlandfb we were wondering…

Could *you* drop off some mince pies at our HQ next week for us to pass along to them? 🥧

The Sun is shining and our Beavers took advantage of this yesterday with a trek up Penshaw Monument 🌞

It’s been a busy start to Spring for our Scouts! 🌞

We’ve fine tuned some of our core Scout skills, learned life-saving First Aid skills, tossed pancakes, and even made our own model aircraft’s using Balsa Wood, as well as tin candle holders. #SkillsForLife 🕯️

An intrepid band of adventurers were quickly assembled and sent on various quests to restore the Elf Kings voice...

Yesterday at #SummerCamp2022, Scouts could choose their launch platform for a descent into the pool below at #BlackMossPot!

Explorers embraced country life and visited the @TheISDS sheep dog trials at Threlkeld, before heading along the old railway trail to Keswick.

Our 2022 summer adventure simply couldn't happen unless the logistics worked. Luckily, @asda deliver to our campsite, refuelling our young people and adult volunteers! 🍴

We've had a full day of adventure on Tuesday at #SummerCamp2022!

Sailing on Bassenthwaite Lake, archery, air rifle shooting and proper Scouty pioneering skills. It's been an action packed day as our top sailors and top shots showed us their top skills.
