This Friday 14th May 7.30 to 9.00 at Bentley Marsh Coppice we will learn the art of lighting fires in the woods and will cook some food in an outdoorsy, leaves for garnish sort of way.
All our time at Bentley Marsh is working towards the Survival Skills badge - not one that many Scouts achieve!
We will train and learn skills through the term, ending in a full Bear Grylls type 24 hour survival camp where you will build your own shelter, cook roadkill (only kidding) and generally get dirty and smelly by doing things that your mates at school haven't even dreamed of.
To book for Friday please cut and paste the following link. PARENTS PLEASE NOTE - please book in your childs name - it makes it much easier checking Scouts in on arrival. Thank you.

All Scouts and leaders need to wear facemasks (even if you are at primary school). If you are medically exempt you'll need to clear that with Phil and wear a sunflower lanyard.
Kit Required
Facemask (I've said that again so you don't forget).
Neckerchief and Woggle
Pair of old gloves that won't melt near a fire and you don't mind getting damaged.
Old clothes
Boots or Wellies
Mug to drink from.
Facemask

Follow the road to Wykey from Ruyton XI Towns, past Packwood Haugh school, through Wykey and after a kilometre take the first turn right. Continue down this straight lane and Bentleys Marsh Coppice is on the right, look out for the sign. There is a small pull in to drop-off. Be aware the road over the railway to Henbarns / Haughton is closed to cars.
