Rockets Away!
The scouts had an evening as rocket engineers on Friday, with patrols building and then firing water-powered rockets.
Each patrol built three rockets and then competed on accuracy (the target was a paddling pool) and distance. In the event the competitions were forgotten in the rush to fire their rockets. Some of the rockets travelled over 60m (and off into the woods) – I think we will be finding them over the coming months as we do tree work. Continue reading Rockets Away!

Greatness Big Lunch [updated]
The group supported this year’s Greatness Big Lunch run by The Greatness Residents Association. We ran three stalls -a 3m scramble net, a slippery pole and a wellie-wanging competition.
As you can see from the photo, even the mayor tried his hand at the wellie throw – although 10.4m wasn’t enough to get him into the top 3.
Scouts Receive Chief Scouts Gold Award
Three of our scouts were presented with awards by Tim Kidd, Chief Commissioner of England at a ceremony in Maidstone last night.
Riana Taylor and Elizabeth Dreksler received their Chief Scouts Gold Awards and Kelly Williams received her Bronze Volunteering Award alongside 30 other scouts from the county.
It was a great evening with a really inspirational speech by Tim
Crazy Golf!
The Scouts built their own crazy golf obstacles on Friday – with each patrol creating a ‘hole’ out of cardboard boxes and other scrap.
Unfortunately, the Wolves obstacle was not in a fit state to be photographed due to some enthusiastic golfing…
