150 members came together over the weekend for a group camp at a picturesque site adjacent to the river Ayr, where the landowner has kindly let us camp for over 20 years.
It’s not often that everyone in the group gets the chance to come together, so it was wonderful to seize this opportunity.
The weekend was packed with 18 different activities, the Scouts and Explorers even squeezed in an activity session on Friday evening before bed. This year, we had a new climbing tower in the field which proved to be very popular along with our much improved slippy slide. We had 3 birthdays to celebrate over the weekend so there was no shortage of cake! Thanks to all the parents that handed in home baking 😋
Making this camp happen was a mammoth task, with setup starting last Wednesday morning and around 10 volunteers on site all day and evening in the days that followed. We have to take everything with us, including drinking water (which is a lot for 150 people 😊). It took 19 journeys with trailers to transport everything. We are incredibly grateful to all the volunteers who made the camp possible, along with the following supporters:
- Troon Tug Co and Ayrshire IT for towing countless trailers to and from the site. - South West Scotland Scouts Services Team for their support with marquees and benches. - Bishopton Scout Group for bringing their climbing tower. - Instructors from Beam Outreach for delivering kayaking and paddleboard sessions. - John M. Patterson Plant Hire for supplying us with Hilux pickup trucks and trailers to move equipment in and out of the field. - UP4 Loo Hire - The catering team led by Alex, who single handily did the huge food shop for the camp.
Clear up will continue for the next few weeks!😆 ... See MoreSee Less
