Uxbridge District Patrol Leaders Training Course

2nd Uxbridge Scout Headquarters

3rd - 4th February 2007

This very successful event was held again at 2nd Uxbridge recentlty with 8 of our Scouts attending. There were 23 Patrol Leaders and prospective Patrol Leaders attending from around the District. Although the weather was rather cold they all had a good time and gained some experience of what it takes to be a Patrol Leader.

Save a chocolate one for me. Naturally, the Scouts slept under canvas in ridge type Patrol tents.
Putting up this type of tent always requires a team effort from a Patrol. Inside again now for a session on menu planning run by Pete Swatton, ADC Scouts.
The Scouts broke up into their Patrols to plan their menu for Saturday's evening meal. During the afternoon they carried out four different activities, a Patrol seen here whipping ropes.
Each Patrol had the chance to carry out each task, this is balloon making. Here the tissue is attached to the base to completed the balloon.
