1st Upton St Leonards Scout Group

Welcome to 1^st Upton St Leonard’s Scout Troop, we are a mixed troop which meets on a Friday night.

Our programme varies a lot from term to term but some of the highlights from last year were: Rifle Shooting, Archery, Climbing, Abseiling, Kayaking, Caving, Grass Sledging, Mountain boarding, Hill walking, Athletics, First Aid, Skiing, Fire Lighting, Circus Skills, Bivouacking, Scuba Diving and Survival Skills.

We also enjoy camping and last year provided the opportunity for Scouts to camp for up to 30 nights. The camps we ran last year included:

• Operation Bald Eagle (an incident hike held near Evesham)
• Essex International Jamboree (with over 10,000 Scouts and Guides from around the world)
• Group Camp in Hereford  

This year our Scouts have attended numerous camps among which the highlights were a return visit to our sister Troop 1776, Atlanta. This was a two week long trip over to America during which the Scouts enjoyed home hospitality and experiencing an American style Scout camp.
