Two Rings Hike

Well done everyone that took part on the Two Rings hike on Sunday. 10 - 12 miler so not much difficulty for some of the older ones. Roffey had 2 scout teams and 1 explorer team, every team finished! Hopefully we did well overall in points, only if time taken to complete counted!!

District Quiz

It's this time of year again when Scout troops from Horsham Weald take part in the annual District Quiz. Roffey entered 1 team, Owen, Heather, David and George, and one spare scout, India who then joined 1st St. Leonards. There was six rounds of 12 questions to do with Scouting, sport, geography, history, healthy eating and General Knowledge. We all thought we were going to do badly but then a stroke of luck came in the final results when we found out we beat 1st St. Leonards by 3 points. 

Once again Roffey has claimed the trophy. Well done team Roffey!!!

Halloween!!!

As we do every year, the scouts celebrate Halloween with a games night. Calving pumpkins, apple bobbing, doughnut challenge and turning our hut into a reservoir. There was some interesting pumpkins made from one being sick to one with knives in its head.

More Gold Award Receivers

Once again 1st Roffey have created some Gold Award recipients. This time with three. George, India and Alice. Well done for achieving it.

Cookery Competition!!!

What can be worse, letting a group of scouts cook up food from random tins? One night last week we had the inter-patrol cookery competition where all four patrols pick 2 random tins for main course and desert and have to cook it and present in a creative way. The score sheet reflects how different each patrol took this challenge on.
