 In glorious sunshine, all sections of 1st Ealing North got together for the Spring Group Camp at Walter Davies Campsite.    After investing six new leaders and declaring the camp open, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts went to work! Blind String Trail  Laser Tag Bouldering The FEN Games (First Ealing North Games) allowed all Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to work together in teams for some grand prizes (biscuits). Great fun to see all the age groups have fun together.    Dinner was followed by the traditional camp fire. Waking up...  Scouts made their own breakfast. Cubs made their own shelters   Cubs and Beavers tried out some Parkour in the forest.   Thank you to everyone who took part in this epic weekend. Hope to see you next year.  Want to see even more photos? See links below: More Beaver Photos - Link More Cubs Photos - Link More Scouts Photos - Link

He also brought along pictures, badges, and snacks to share from his travels.
