During September and October, the Scout section have been working to achieve their Mechanic's badge. The Scouts have learnt the basics of an internal combustion engine, how to change car light bulbs, MOT requirements and how to change a tyre. Everyone has enjoyed this badge, albeit that the dark nights have required some improvised torch lighting!

In February, our Beaver section visited Biggin Hill Airport. The Beavers enjoyed activities including a tour of the airfield, sitting in a light aircraft, having a go in the flight simulator and learning the importance of airfield safety. More pictures are available on our 'SKOWT' web space. This was the final stage of the Beavers 'Air Activities' badge. |
