Blackwell Adventure 18-20 May 2012

On Friday 18th May, Wilmcote and Tanworth Cub Scouts arrived at Blackwell Court for the main camping trip of the year. The site is 50 acres of parkland near Bromsgrove, with organised activities to promote confidence, teamwork and physical activity.

The Cubs took part in four organised activities over the weekend including archery, tree trek, wall climb and sledging.

After a late first night and a day of activities, the Cubs were demanding to go to bed on Saturday night, and in a remarkable reversal of role, the cubs shouted 'shut up' to Akela when he cheered the Chelsea victory.

Additional entertainment was laid on including Akelas 'bogey song' and the Return to Camp challenge. The Cubs considered this one of the highlights of the week, despite it attracting some disapproving looks from the Girl Guides.
