Blandford Scouts

Welcome
We currently have around 18 boys and girls in the troop.

We are always on the lookout for help, if you are an adult or a parent who is able to give some of your free time to help us, we would be more than grateful. Even if it is just for a few hours once in a while.

District Rally Weekend
The District Rally is the annual District scout camp. This year it was held on Blandford Camp. During the weekend we took part in many activities , including climbing, archery, orienteering, campfires, and a demonstration of birds of prey. The weather was great and we all had a fantastic weekend.
Some of the photos are below for you to see.

RAE Award
The RAE Award is a district camping competition, which this year was held at Shaftsbury.

The patrol we entered had a terrific weekend and only missed winning the competition by a single point!!

Congratulations to Shaftsbury A team, who won with a score of 564 points.

The competition involves everything that is done over the weekend, from how you arrive, what your food looks and tastes like and how well you keep your site tidy. A few photos of the event are below:
