Had an wheelie good time delivering @Anvil_ESU’s first ever cycling camp this weekend! We covered 70km of gravelly-Peak District goodness, all of which was right on our doorstep! 🚲⛰️ #VolunteeringIsGoodForYou

The Explorers earned their first #YouShape Award last night 👏 They’ve taken the lead and are making a difference: from choosing next term’s programme, to planning a district event and charity fundraiser! 🤩 #TrailBlazers

Last week we visited Edale Mountain Rescue for an informative talk and tour around the base, learning about all the important work that their volunteers do. Thanks for having us @edalemrt! ⛑🏔 #PeakDistrict #SheffieldIsSuper

Scouting is all about teamwork and learning to problem solve, so what better way to test it than a visit to an Escape Room! Thanks for having us @_tgeg, we’ve got #SkillsForLife locked down 🔐

[Anvil Explorers @Anvil_ESU]

The Explorers made a start on their #YouShape Awards last night - starting with a quick-fire chair swap to share ideas, which were developed and then pitched to the Leaders in our very own Dragon’s Den! 🔥🐉 #SkillsForLife

[Anvil Explorers @Anvil_ESU]

We had a fire-cracking time at the annual Hallam District Bonfire at @Hesley_Wood last night, which brought together Explorer groups from all over Sheffield! 🎇🔥 #Kaboom #BonfireNight

This weekend was our Hammock Camp at @SquirrelWoodSC! Despite the rain we had a great time caving, pioneering and learning about all things bushcraft-y 🏕 #CookingOnFire #SkillsForLife

ONE WEEK!
Its only 1 week until the launch of the brand new, very exciting #YouShape award! This award makes it even easier to embed youth shaped into the programme. Find out more here https://t.co/WkmKEfoVdI

Roll up, roll up! Last night we played @christian_aid’s Trading Game 🎪💰 We had some high-stake bargaining, animated negotiations and important reflections about the inequalities of global trade 🌍 #Teamwork #WorldIssues

[Anvil Explorers @Anvil_ESU]

Last night was all about social activism and making a difference in our local community, as we get ready for the launch of the new #YouShape Award on the 5th of October! 🏅 Our leaders were finally reunited too 🐶 #PawsForThought

[Anvil Explorers @Anvil_ESU]

Have you heard the scoop? 🍦 We're back with a bang 💥 (well, more of a squelch!) as the Explorers tried making their very own zip-lock ice cream at our first night in the hut 🥳 #LivinTheCream
