Park In The Dark

Posted by Martin Wynn

On the 31st of January, 101 Guides, Rangers and Young Leaders went on a quest to find King Arthur’s sword.

Hosted by Hawkstone Park Follies, our young members bravely travelled by foot on a trail through the monuments, forests, over bridges and up and down many steps and all in the dark!. The sword was found and the treasure won!

Christmas Visit

Posted by Martin Wynn

It was a very wet night but our visit to see Santa included a boat ride, making a s’more, crossing the wishing bridge to the elves workshop to give them a hand making a cuddly Rudolph or two, writing a letter to Santa, visiting his naughty elf Bingo and finally a visit to the big man himself.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening, despite being soaked through!
