Camp 1997

This years camp took place in the Lake District, Cumbria, North West of the UK. The site was located on Ullswater Lake and we were camping on a farm 3 miles from Pooley Bridge on the B5320.

This years camp was special as for the first time we were camping with Guides from 46th City of Coventry South and Balsall Common Guides. All in all we had about 24 Sea Scouts and 22 Guides on camp. The good thing about a 2nd Warwick Camp is the leader support. We must have had about 22 leaders to support the two week camp in the Lakes. Picture right shows the leaders tent area.
Picture above shows the boys and girls getting ready to play a wide game on water. Patrol Leaders in council on camp.	Activities like Sailing, Rowing, Canoeing, Power Boat Training, Hiking and many other camping skills took place during the two weeks under canvas. The Guides camped as Patrols the same way as the Scouts. They found it a new experience to have to cook, eat and live as a patrol of girls. We have a number of pictures for you on this page. We hope you enjoy them, we particularly like the pictures of the Topper Capsize and the Rover on a Run. We hope you have enjoyed visiting our site and please do come back again soon to see what other adventures we have been up to.
The Leaders eat and work in a large marquee during camp which is very useful. During Camp we produce a News Papers which is posted on the Camp Notice Board in the morning. This year was the return of the "Lake News" and copies of these and past news papers are available in the Scouting Forum on CompuServe. (Go Scouting).
