3rd Croydon sent two patrols to Scout Hike this year. As well as doing their best as always, and having a great time in the process, both patrols earned awards.

There were 24 activities available during the hike and scouts combined Leadership, Planning, Attitude & Enthusiasm and Overall Achievement to earn activity points at each one. Rory’s patrol (Rory, Jordann, Brad and Connor) earned a Bronze, an exceptional effort from three first timers and a first time PL. Aiden’s patrol (Adam, Aidan, Ben and Josh), all experienced Scout Hike participants, earned Gold and blitzed their nearest opponents by 500 points.

Well done to both patrols!

Scouts had science night last week. Bridge building, decoding, chemistry and physics. They put in some work towards badges, had fun, and made a mess.
