Scout Camp to Celebrate 1st Birthday

Accrington St Pauls Barnfield Scouts attended a local scout camp site on 7th to 9th November for their first ever scout camp in celebration of their first birthday.

Despite the weather the scouts enjoyed themselves and took part in a range of activities, including archery, raft building and camp gadgets.

St Pauls Barnfield Cubs took part in this years District Conker Competition which was held on Saturday 18th October.

Cubs from across the District took part in a variety of activities including Pillow Fighting, Craft, Team Challenge, Connect 4, Cross Country and the End Game.

Unfortunately time was in short supply and a lack of conkers saw the actual conker competition posponed until further notice.

St Pauls Barnfield came 3rd in the Team Challenge and 1st in the Pillow Fighting.
