130 MEMBERS COME TOGETHER IN STAFFORDSHIRE FOR A GREAT WEEKEND!
Thursday 3rd January 2019Junior Adventure Weekend
Following on from last year’s successful Juniors 100 Sleepover the region hosted an Adventure weekend over the weekend of the 19th to 21st October with over 130 members at Kingswood Staffordshire.
Companies from across the region attended and took part in activities such as Zip-wire, Aeroball, Problem solving, Nightline, Bush Craft, Archery, Climbing, Abseiling, shelter building, Camp fire, Film nights and a celebration service. The Event was a huge success.
Kingswood produced a variety of activities encouraging team work, bonding, confidence and taught new skills to the young people taking part. As Kingswood ran the activities this enabled the BB Leaders to take time to talk to each other and have time to share experiences and enjoy fellowship together.
Martin Letts, Captain of 31st Northampton Company said:
“Thanks for such a great weekend away again and even arranging the warmer weather this year! We asked our young people to say one word about the weekend and the words Fun, Amazing, Great, Fantastic and Don’t want to go home just proves that they all really enjoyed themselves as did the staff members. A fantastic weekend, so enjoyable to see our boys have a great time, while adults had a chance of mixing with other staff.”
We are aware that a number of Battalions are organising their own events at Kingswood. We would encourage where possible for these to be opened up to Companies within the surrounding areas.
