Cub Camp - Fawley Hill Survival Camp

1st Radnage Scout group have just successfully completed the 2014 Cub Camp at Fawley Hill “Safari Park". 30 Cubs took part in a Survival weekend sleeping under bivvies and cooking over open fires. A three mile hike to the camp was the start on Saturday (28th June) and most of this was in very wet rain! On arrival the 4 sixes had to collect firewood and then start the construction of their bivouacs. During this time archery instruction also took place. Saturday evening entertainment was conducted by the cubs around a large open fire.

Luckily a dry night followed and all cubs survived sleeping in the safari park, surrounded by wallabies, many deer and antelope, plus Rudolf. The next morning after a hearty breakfast the cubs had a guided tour of a private railway museum. A further 3 mile hike to Henley on Thames followed. After cold ice creams to cool everyone down the finale of the weekend camp was a surprise cruise on the river Thames past the Regatta course.

We are pleased to say that all the cubs successfully made it back to their parents at the end of the day.
