Scout Leaders never tire of learning new practical skills. Blessed with a sunny day, it was out with the parabolic mirror to create an ember – success! We had fun with fire-by-friction, flint and steel and create magical firework displays with wire-wool and batteries.

Enjoyed the whole weekend, the tasks were very well explained – book a place, every Scout Leader should attend!

Creating successful fires, it was then time for some well earning lunch; kebabs cooked over an open fire.

The afternoon was spent building natural shelters and then setting up tarps and hammocks. Then it was time for more food after learning how to ponass trout and cook it over the campfire.

Great teacher with lots of knowledge and experience
