Outdoor Activities

In March, we took advantage of the late season snow to go snow shoeing, taking the Red Train to La Givrine above St Cergue, then snow shoed for three hours along tracks and through the trees finally arriving at the Cabin de Rochefort. We enjoying snow activities before cooking fondue by candlelight then finished the evening telling stories, putting on skits and playing games into the night. The following morning after breakfast we took a different track back down directly into St Cergue.   April 2007 Camporee

This years Annual Camporee was held in April at the International Scouts Centre in Satigny with BSA Scouts from different parts of Switzerland including Zurich and Basel getting together to celebrate the 100th year of Scouting with friendly competitions. Pack 130 Webelos joined in the fun and got a taste off what being a Boy Scout is all about, as the Troops competed in several events such as a bicycle obstacle course and blindfolded tent building, which tested their scout skills and ability to work as a team. The Scouts also impressed everyone by cooked meals by as many different methods as possible, other than gas or fuel stoves. The food was good and they are all still here to tell the tale!

Whilst a number of Scouts were running the snack bar others were selling items collected, helping buyers determent to brave the elements to find that great bargain they were after.
