Our outdoor Scouting starts later this year, we thought we’d be kind. Over the last several years our trip to Dovedale has had very mixed weather, wind, rain, snow and sleet. This year we thought we’d try to get a bit of sun into the mixture.
To give us some idea of numbers, can you please complete the attached form and return it by the end of February. You can change your mind anytime prior to the event, these numbers will help us work out the logistics running the activities.
- 3rd – 5th April Dovedale – This week end starts at the chippy in Ashbourne on Friday night. From there we journey to a farm at Alston field which will be our home for the week end. Working in groups, the Scouts will be walking a route they will have planned previously that will take them on a tour of the Dovedale and Manifold valleys. This weekend could tick many boxes towards the challenges the Scouts need to complete to gain the ultimate award which is the Chief Scouts challenge. The cost of this week end will be in the region of £50.
