Leeds Climbing Wall

This term Scouts were invited to take part in sessions held at the Leeds Climbing Wall as they go for their adventure challenge badge. Over the course of the term 20 Scouts rose to the challenge and for those who had not attempted this before they did very well.

Metro Run Event 19th January 2008

2 teams of four entered the competition and the planned routes gave the options of between 29 and 31 stations. Well done to both teams for pushing themselves to the limit and achieving over 30 stations. We were just 3 or 4 stations off the lead set by a group of Explorer Scouts. For our first attempt this was outstanding and most Scouts had ideas of how we could improve the route for next year.

Metro Run Practice 12th January 2008

This was a successful day and Scouts enjoyed the challenge of visiting as many stations in one day as possible on a day rover ticket. We managed around 15 on this practice run. We discovered many ways to plan the journey - from the internet to text messaging and the traditional time tables. Scouts agreed to plan an activity where we would travel independently to a hike or camp.
