An action packed weekend was enjoyed by all in Chatsworth.  Activities included cricket, canoeing, shooting, personal challenges and much more, including a small camp fire each night…  one more  pallet anyone ?  This year's winners were Andrew and Mat Wyman with the Staves a close second.

If you have any photos please send to Andrew.

Our annual joint camp at Rother Valley Country Park is Splashdown! 36 Scouts from both troops enjoyed the mud and rain and plenty of water activites. We retained the George Borwick Trophy! Well done Tim… !

Splashdown is an annual water activity weekend for Scouts from across Sheffield. There are loads of activities to do including canoeing, raft building and raft racing, windsurfing, archery, mountain biking plus football, cricket and a big disco on Saturday night. We will be camping right on the banks of Rother Valley Country Park and we will be camping and cooking as a group, not in patrols. This weekend is a lot of fun so don't miss out!

Transport / Arriving / Leaving:
You need to make your own way to and from Splashdown. When you get to Rother Valley the scout campsite is signposted – you will need to find our group amongst the tents (we don’t know where we will be!). Look for one of the Land Rovers! You should arrive in uniform. Please arrive between 7pm and 7.15pm (not before) on the Friday at Rother Valley and arrange to be collected on the Sunday at 3pm.  You then need to meet us at the scout room at 4:30pm to unload the kit.
