Has it really been May since we lasted posted 😯 WESU took a short recess for its members to complete GCSE exams and we are pleased to report they all passed every one taken. congratulations!
We reconvened for the Autumn term with the hike we were forced to cancel in March due to poor weather. We were joined by Rowan from Welshpool scouts who is due to join us in November. The hike was a tough one with an overnight hammock camp in Guilsfield then a full day of orienteering and hiking on the Saturday. Poor Rown’s feet were suffering and highlighted the need for good sturdy fitting boots. All made it back safe and sound but totally exhausted as the weather was boiling. No photos unfortunately as we forgot.
We missed Opcom this year due to A Level commitments and excessive essays requiring completion. We will return for next year with a vengeance.
October has seen us programme planning and a night of raft building over at Crowther Hall with Guilsfield Cubs, that was such a fun night but we need to sack our photographer as again he forgot to take photos.
We have begun work towards updating our first aid skills with a night of practical held last week.
In amongst all this two explorers have been awarded their chief scout platinum award which we congratulate Explorer Joe and Explorer Jon for. The platinum award is a measure of dedicated hard work and commitment within scouting. Holders must have gained their DofE Bronze and must also complete two activities chosen from the international, communities and values list which they did with Welshpool Beavers section.
