This year a joint party from Chapman, Swift and Seal Scout troops camped next to the River Wye, one bridge crossing away from Wales and the Forest of Dean.
We were blessed with a beautiful week in a pretty miserable summer and were able to run two patrols.
During camp we…

- Wide games
- Climbed up some really steep hills
- Explored a cave
- Found a rope swing
- Found a geocache
- Prepared dinner (and breakfast and lunch…)
- Played with the fire
- Competed in camp Olympics
- Natural rock climbing
- Washed up
- Orienteering trail
- Full day MTB ride and hardly fell off at all
- Canoeing up the river Wye and went for a dip
- More wide games
- Prepared and lit fires
- Hike to Simonds Yat
- Crossing the River Wye using a rope barge
- Visit butterfly farm
- Frisbee
