The
first Wentwood Challenge weekend took place between 17th -
19th June with Scouts taking part from 1st Wentwood Scout
Troop and 29th Newport Sea Scout Troop. |

On
Saturday morning the teams set off at 10 minute intervals to
complete a hike and activity bases in the wonderful setting of
Wentwood forest.
After 6 hours of hiking on the hottest day of the year so far,
the teams arrived running to the finish at the Pike Den,
headquarters of 1st Wentwood Scout Group.
A much deserved cold shower was soon available after the
ingenious rigging of a kitchen colander, a hose pipe and a
large tarpaulin. This was closely followed by a water fight
ensuring that everyone got wet.
The day finished with a B -B-Q and camp fire just before the
Scouts dragged their weary legs to bed.

Everyone
that attended the Weekend Challenge Camp were presented with a
memento. |
