Bushcraft

In the woods near Chepstow the Scouts had to build an emergency shelter using any item on the ground. Some also slept in their survival bags and the Explorers slept in hammocks. They had to find their own food and cook over an open fire with minimal tools. Well done all of you.You did us proud.
