Scouts gain over 80 badges following Troop Summer Camp

16 Scouts and 3 Explorers from Batchworth enjoyed an action packed Summer Camp back in August. In the months since we returned, we have been able to award over 80 badges due to activities completed on camp! All attendees received the Expedition Challenge, for completing an unaccompanied overnight hike, Adventure Challenge, due to activities such as climbing, tunnelling and archery, plus the Outdoor Challenge and Camp Cook awards for their bivouacking and backwoods cooking skills. A selection of the group also completed their BCU Paddle Power Passport whilst on camp, gaining a recognised qualification to reflect their high standard of kayaking and canoeing.
