The Young Leaders Survival Camp started slightly earlier than planned as an unnamed Scouter turned up with his young person a day early.
After this unexpected, but not unwelcome, arrival we started with 6 Young Leaders on the Saturday morning. Flag break saw the YL’s and most of the team being presented with their own handmade Survival Camp neckers. Then they started working towards their Emergency Aid stage 3 badge which they all achieved. After lunch the young people worked with Tony Bishop, the District Outdoor Activities Advisor, on various skills, including shelter building, where Tony built a demonstration shelter and the young people built their own shelters to sleep in later on in the day. Cooking on open fires was also a vital part of the exercise and the YL’s were cooking chicken and flatbreads for their main meal together with sweetcorn and baked bananas which had been cooked in a pit fire.
