Record-breaking triumph for Freshford Scouts!
Freshford Scout Group scored a record-breaking triumph at this year’s annual Strategy Event.
Competing against 314 patrols from across the region, Patrols from 15th Freshford achieved an outstanding result by securing both First AND Second place overall.
It is the first time in the event’s ten-year history that two Patrols from the same Troop have claimed the top two podium positions.
The Strategy Event is a challenge camp organised by Gloucester Scouts and held on the Earl of Bathurst’s Estate near Cirencester.
The competition tested a wide range of Scouting skills, including map reading, first aid, bushcraft, shooting and tarpology. Other challenges pushed the Scouts’ teamwork, stamina and problem-solving abilities through activities such as an assault course, cave bus, nail care and a supermarket sweep challenge.
At each base, Patrols had to carefully decide which team member was best suited to take on the task in to maximise their score.
The Scouts camped under canvas throughout the weekend and despite the heatwave and late nights at the disco, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The event provided an unforgettable adventure and showcased the skills, determination and teamwork of local Scouts.
