Well done to our 7 Explorers who passed their D of E Bronze Qualifying Expedition in Ashdown Forest this weekend. The Bronze Expedition is a two day expedition, with one night spent camping. There should be six hours minimum of activity planned each day, with at least three of these hours journeying. D of E expeditions teach: Some photos are available below.
Tonight the unit members constructed and then used a slip n slide. Whilst it could have been warmer, the weather was fairly kind with sunshine and no rain! Some of the Explorers managed to slide the full 25 metres which is impressive, others had less solid techniques getting less than 5 metres! Some photos are available below:
On Monday the Explorers took part in a game of Kwik Cricket. Well done to the winning team who scored significantly more than the other! We did learn Explorers need to practise throwing a ball in a straight line as there were a large number of wide throws!!!
