Eeek Gods on Y Garn, SBSMG Snow Hike Review
So if you've never pushed yourself until you've got tears in your eyes, you don't know what you are capable of!
On Sunday 8 Boreattonites joined with the Shropshire Borders Scout Mountaineering Group for the 'In Search of Snow Hike'. One of the hardest hikes we've done for ages, not because of the snow but it was a very steep climb in pretty horrible weather. There's not much keeps me away from my food but I preferred to keep walking rather than take my glove off to eat!
Overall though I'm sure everybody will look back on it as a fantastic day and all the scouts said it was better than going to archery. Fortunately my camera has a button so I could take photos without a touch screen, I couldn't stop it from steaming up though so the photos may be more foggy than it really was, no actually it was foggy too :-)

Scout Cavers Badge Feb 2015
All the Boreatton Scouts with a Cavers Badge have moved up to Explorers so here's you chance for one of the coolest badges in scouts. Did you know Shropshire is one of only three counties in the UK with a caving team?
The course is being run by Father Christmas and his team of helpers and some of you have been down the S Wales caves on last years Activity Camp.
Speak to one of our leaders if you want to give it a go, you won't regret it.

British Pedal Car Championships Sunday 29th March
We've been asked if we'd like to take part in the British Pedal Car Championships in this, its 20 anniversary year. (http://pedalcarracing.info/)
We've only done it once before, a 24 hour race in horrendous weather at Bruntingthorpe. This first race day will be three 2 hour races. We'll enter the PC3 class so we need 6 drivers under 14 on the 1st January 2015.
(This is not a Scout Association event, that's in July).
If you are interested, let me know and I'll see if we can organise something.

In Search of Snow Hike, Sunday 25th January
Sunday is the best hike of the year. It's almost certain we'll find some snow somewhere in North Wales....
I doubt very much we'll see last years 'once in a lifetime' event though, a 'Brocken Spectre Glory'
a 360 degree rainbow with our shadows inside.
If you want to go speak to Alan urgently. (Previous SBSMG hike experience required for this one)
Can you see me waving?
