GaSCiT (Guides and Scouts Camping Together) 2003
GaSCiT 2003 was a patrol-based camp for Scouts and Guides who otherwise would not get to camp in this way. Each patrol had an adult to support them throughout the week, and they were part of a sub-camp that is similar in size to a typical troop camp. The participants experienced a balance of adventurous and traditional camp activities, arranged in a style that could be recycled by groups on troop camps in the future.
GaSCiT 2003 was held from Friday 25th July to Tuesday 29th July 2003 at Beaudesert Camp Site, Cannock Chase, Staffordshire. For more information on the site see Beaudesert Park’s Website.
At GaSCiT we spent
some enjoyable time on our Sub-camp of Space (where of course nobody
can hear
you scream (particularly some of the kids)) with Granville who was very
amusing
with his descriptions of some of the SAGGA quirks!
Auntie Mad
came to visit on occasions to
see how we were and even help the 1/4 raddish
(aka 1st/4th Reddish) to sort out their
washing up problems
(i.e. they argued over it all the time and didn't quite seem to get it
done!).
We had PL arguments on the sub-camp so had the whole Scout camp
experience!
At GaSCiT, the Hull
Contingent also met some past members of
SHAGS, Lizzie Nash and Dan Tozer, it was good to see them once again!
Overall, GaSCiT was very enjoyable for all concerned and most of the people would help with it again!
Space Sub-Camp, the one the
Scouts getting prepared for various
activities including Archery to the right!
A good view across the space campsite, notice the huge marquee in the background which actually belonged to a Scout Group present on the camp!
Pioneering was another
activity that went on during the week and everyone involved had great
fun!
