The Night Hike on Friday 13th Nov was a great success with 12 teams taking part from Bonnyrigg, Newtongrange, Penicuik and Gorebridge.
Over 80 people took part including helpers who were on duty all night in cars and cooking food for all who were out in the atrocious conditions which hit us that night. Teams had to visit a challenge which was to rescue "The big dummy" and also to find codes that were scatted around the area from Borthwick to Temple and Carrington.
I would like to thank all who took part and helped on the evening and hope we can move forward with more events next year, I am already working on a camp for late Feb so watch your emails.

It is hoped Pack leaders and Troop Leaders within a group will cooperate and send a Group contingent. However, this does not exclude Packs or Troops attending on their own.
Fordell Fast Forward is a Camp designed so Older Cubs can find out more about Scouts. It is a result of the ADC Cub and Scout meeting at the SHQ/UKHQ Programme Support Workshop last February, where a strategy was formulated to reduce the high drop out rate between the Cub and Scout sections. Fordell Fast Forward is part of that strategy.
