If only they knew
The scout troop spent the normal meeting night outdoors on a local hike.
The scouts, along with 2 leaders, were dropped off at a mystery location and told to find their way to the District camp site. Once they had got the grid reference the scouts were on their way up the first footpath, which led them in to an orchard. Temptation was high to try a few apples but they resisted and managed to get lost in the orchard instead. Good skills in directional navigation came in to effect and they headed for the street lights, upon in more light regained their composure and redirected themselves on to the required route. The rain came down in a fine drizzle, but th scouts spirits were not dampened and on they marched/strolled/crawled to the meeting point.
"are we there yet"
A great time was had by all and some vital lessons learnt on the way.
