Scouts from ten Lewisham Groups spent the last weekend of September camping together on Farleigh Field at Frylands Wood, some for both nights and some just for the Saturday.

Leaders from across the District ran workshops through Saturday, covering archery, pioneering, knife and fire skills, shelter building and backwoods cooking. In between, there was the traversing wall, barrel carts, slacklining and disc golf. The sumo suits were very popular, and so was exploring the woods.

The evening finished with a barbecue and a campfire. On Sunday each Group did its own thing, from a local hike to a last go on the activities, before packing up.

Thanks to every leader who came, ran something or cooked, and to Frylands Wood for having us.
