Evac Camp 2010

The District Scouts and Cubs where entertained at a evacuation themed camp during the last may bank holiday. The Scouts and Cubs waved goodbye to their parents at Cholsey railway station and were dropped off at Wallingford station where they were greeted by the Mayor of Wallingford. The young people then walked to the Hithercroft Sports ground where their camp had been made for their evacuation. It was an action packed weekend which included archery, dam busters, camp fire, pioneering, the great escape maze, x-blaster, crafts, assault course and constructing half size Anderson shelters. Each young person was given a pack containing their ID card, name tag and ration book. On Saturday night they were able to use their ration book to by sweet provisions for the weekend ahead. There was a war time sing along and a visit from a willy's jeep with lots of replica guns! A great weekend had by all with special thanks to Di Chesterman, Sandra Taylor for organising a great event and from Chilton; Q Bossom for arranging the fantastic Anderson shelters.
