Sunday Hike to the Moon

Hike to the Moon Challenge!

Your challenge is to hike a mile or so; out on a walk around where you live, in the garden or up and down the stairs like Tim Peake! If you do go out for a walk please remember to stay safe. You can record your hike distance on the Scout website to reach the 240,000 mile target, set for all Scouts throughout the UK.

See: https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/scouts-at-home/scouts-helping-others/hike-to-the-moon/ for more information on this challenge, including a great video from Chief Scout Bear Grylls and Astronaut Tim Peake. This challenge is setup in part to help those in need, so if you wish you can donate to Children in Need and Comic Relief. There are also extra challenges you can get involved with like creating your very own rocket design. So, check out the website and get involved!

Remember to post a photo or video of your Hike to the Moon challenge so your leaders can see what you've been up to. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy camp!

Good fun activities that the Woodcutts Family may enjoy.
These are just suggested ideas because if you have extra resources or time.

How To Make a Paper Ninja Star (Shuriken) - Origami

Hazel sticks or "wands" cut green today. Once the bark is stripped off you can cook a dough damper, a sausage on a stick or toast marshmallows over the fire- delicious!

Hopefully tonight the skies will be clear again! Last night was a great stargazing experience.
The link attached is from 2012 but it still makes for brilliant viewing.
Hopefully this will be of interest to scouts and families alike.

This is a great camp craft activity. It's very addictive and appeals to all ages.
Come on Woodcutts please show me how creative you are?
You can use lolly sticks, bamboo (mind any sharp edges) hazel or willow wood.
You can use wool or scraps of material cut into thin lengths.
