SUNDAY MARCH 10th

Eight of our Scouts were in a very wet South Weald Country Park for the Romford District Scouts Orienteering Competition. As defending champions, we arrived with some confidence but on the day were beaten by 21st Romford.  The winning Explorer team consisted of a commendable number of ex 3rd Gidea Park Scouts.

MODEL MAKERS

MARCH 7th

For the next part of the Model Makers badge the Scouts had to meet an expert to find out more about Warhammer and model making. We were visted by a real expert who had recently returned from a Warhammer competition in the USA.

BOOTS

FEBRUARY 15th

The Scouts are trying something new this week. Warhammer is sponsoring the Scout section modelmaker badge, so we decided to take advantage of their kind offer of free materials.  The leaders registered the troop and were sent a large box of materials including kits to make small soldiers, paints, paint brushes, paint mixing pallets and instructions. Each of the Scouts followed the instructions to put together and start to paint two figures each.

The leaders were surprised and impressed how much this activity entertained, challenged, and occupied the Scouts. Some of the Scouts finished two figures in one evening, others have a little to finish of next week where we will learn more about Warhammer games and start to make some terrain.
