Summer Camp 2000 - St Neot, Cornwall |
During the School Summer Holidays 22nd July - 2nd August 2000, forty members of Pinkneys Green Scout Troop Spent ten days camping on a "Green Field" site at St Neot, south of Bodmin Moor, in Cornwall. The Scouts camped in Patrols, and slept in Storm Haven Patrol tents. Each Patrol cooked their own meals, made up of fresh vegetables and meat, on Wood Fires. The leaders eat with the Patrols.
"Green Field" site means the camp is held in a field with no facilities. ie.we had to go to the farm for water, there is no electricity, buildings etc. All we had was the River Fowey, grass to camp on. Trees around the site to get the wood we required to use for cooking. During the Camp we ran three main competitions:
This competition ran for the whole length of the camp and there was hard fought competition amongst the patrols. The Winning Patrol was Cobras PL Lee Baker . Each member of Cobras won a stainless steel pen knife. The activities Scout did included were:-
