Hampton Explorers

Duke of Edinburgh

Posted on June 29, 2017 by Nigel

Although many of you will have started doing your DofE Bronze with school – why not do it through scouting as it will be significantly cheaper and you will be doing the expedition with fellow scouts that already know how to pitch a tent, read a map etc.

In the DofE section of the website is the enrolment form – as long as we can get at least 4 of you signed up (enough for an expedition team) we can arrange the necessary practice and assessed expeditions as we have done many time successfully in the past

Information re the next term

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Nigel

We start back on Monday 24th April – as this is the first meeting of the month you should come in uniform and take the opportunity to make sure that you have all the badges that you should have.

As mentioned at the last meeting we will be taking part in the Chestnut Sunday Parade (14 May) instead of St. George’s Day – please make sure you have uniform by then.

We currently have two camps planned for the summer – Borough Camp in July and Summer Camp in August.

Check our facebook group for a poll/discussion about what camps you would like to do for the remainder of 2017 – with so many new explorers we need to get outdoors more and do some “proper” scouting!!

All explorers should also have the rugby shirt which is only available from me.

Winter Camp 2016

Posted on February 15, 2016 by Nigel

6 of our explorer braved the winter weather for the weekend and got stuck into an assortment of activities (along with a few 3rd Hampton scouts). Plenty of time spent shooting (rifles and bows), climbing fencing and many other indoor/outdoor activities – along with a lot of time relaxing in our building and playing cards etc….

Would be great if we could muster a few more next year to take part in all the acivities on offer, without the hassle of cooking and washing up.
