District Camp

Wigan District Camp Bibby's Farm Scout Campsite 11^th - 13^th June 2010

The District Camp in the heat of a hot weekend in June and what a weekend it was! There were over 200 members of the District camping and with the Beavers visiting for the day on the Saturday there was over 300 members of the District present all having a lot of fun.

The Day started with the District Commissioner cooking 16^th Wigan's breakfast. All of the cubs Scouts and Leaders at 16^th Wigan managed to survive their encounter with the DC's cooking. We are informed that the DC is taking orders for next years breakfasts.

Activities were all over the site on the Saturday! There was climbing, shooting, archery, canoeing, grass sledging and four large inflatables that nearly every one in the District went on at some point in the day. There were many other activities for everyone to have ago at.

Saturday night saw a camp fire and England play the USA in The World Cup on a big screen, just a shame about the result.

Sunday morning there was the great tug of war competition which was won by 3^rd Hindley after they only just beat a team of very fit athletic Leaders!

The rain came just as we all were off home.

The District team would like to thank all those too numerous to mention for their efforts in making the District Camp a great success.

Did you take any pictures at the District Camp?

If so can you send them to stephen@wiganscouts.org.uk or send them on a disc. We will then put them all on to a disc and pass them out around the District.
