Down to the final couple of hours again. All that is left is drop tents and get something to eat from the grill. One group won the quiz, one group came 4th in the assault course and a lot of them made new friends with groups around GMW. For the 2nd year going as a unit I would say it's a success. No meeting tonight. Shower and sleep.....

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to share the exciting journey of our explorer scout unit and to humbly request your support in our mission to provide a transformative experience for our members.

In just under two years, our explorer scout unit has flourished, growing from 12 to 24 enthusiastic members and still expanding. This growth is a testament to the dedication of our leaders and the thirst for adventure within our community. However, as we continue to evolve and welcome new members, we face a pressing challenge: outdated equipment inherited from a now-closed explorer unit.

Our current equipment, while serviceable, is showing signs of wear and limitations that hinder our ability to fully engage and accommodate our growing membership. We are particularly in need of new tents, shelters, and kitchen equipment to support our expeditions and camping adventures.

Investing in new equipment is not just about material possessions; it's about investing in the experiences and opportunities we provide for our explorers. Quality equipment ensures their safety, comfort, and enjoyment during our outdoor activities. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and belonging, empowering them to explore, learn, and grow in ways that will shape their futures.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in our ability to equip the next generation of explorers with the tools they need to thrive. Your support will not only impact our unit today but will ripple through the lives of our members, shaping their character and instilling in them a lifelong love for adventure and discovery.

If you are able to support us in this endeavour, please consider making a donation towards our equipment fund. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal and closer to empowering our explorers to reach new heights.

Thank you for considering our plea and for your commitment to the development of young leaders in our community. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our explorers and the world they will one day explore.

Camping season has started for our young leaders, This weekend 5 explorers will be sleeping out help across three section Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs.

Tonight was all about scouting. What could you change or improve if you could. We heard a few good ideas.
