Scouts Weekend at Felixstowe

Posted on 22/12/201428/12/2014 by Peter

Twelve scouts, two young leaders, two leaders and a helper spent the weekend before Christmas staying at the Suffolk County Councils residential Centre on Ferry Road. On Friday evening they all went for a walk down to a very cold and windy beach where they played some games. On Saturday, after a hearty breakfast, they set out on an activity / hike around the area organised by Anthony Gibson which they all thoroughly enjoyed even if it took longer than expected.

Saturday evening they sat down to a Christmas dinner cooked by the leaders, followed by washing up and then Pictionary.

Sunday they went for a short (bracing) walk to Felixstowe Ferry, followed by lunch and clearing up.
