Hello! Welcome to the 77th Bristol Scouts activities section. Here you can see the kind of activities we do at our weekly meetings, camps and inter troop competitions. Weekly Meeting Activities Wide
Games These are fun games which are played around a wide space of area outside. They normally involve stealth or trying to capture things/people. An example of one of these is "Capture the flag", which involves two teams; one trying to capture a flag without getting tagged by an opposing team member which leads to being kept in 'Prison'. The only way of being freed from prison is by being tagged by one of your team members. The aim of the game is to capture the opposing team's flag to win, but if the opposing team has all the members of your team in their prison you loose. It's a great game! Sports on the Downs 
Some nights we go to the Downs (a wide open area of grass), where we play many different sports. Some of these are rounders, cricket, football and Frisbee throwing.
Cooking We do lots of cooking in SCOUTS. We cook using gas cookers, petrol stoves and Trangias. We also cook things like pancakes, fajitas etc. We ALSO do backwoods cooking, which is cooking out in the woods over fires. We cook things like sausages, pancakes and chocolate bananas. It's great fun, and very tasty! Badge Work This is fairly fun work (honest!) that can involve very fun stuff, but sometimes not so fun stuff. It depends on what type of badge you are working towards, for example the camp cook badge is fun. Challenge Nights Around one night every year we have a 'Challenge Night'. This involves fun games that you have to pay extremely small amounts of money. These include 'Wack 'a' Rat', apple bobbing, 'Play your cards right', Uno and more. This is an extremely fun night, you must come along. Video Nights Video nights are when some people bring in a video, and we then watch a bit of it and do a comprehension on it once it is over. It's great fun! Quizzes Sometimes we do small quizzes in scouts. These are fun quizzes which are sometimes to do with scouting, but other times are not. You should join in with them! Orienteering
Nights This is also great! It involves going around looking for points and bases in the nights. You have to use your map skills to be good at this. You also sometimes do activities at the bases. This is fun if it is your sort of thing. Camp Activities Archery This is great! You get to shoot many arrows at a reasonably close range. It is however, quite hard, but that does not stop it from being great fun. Shooting As you can imagine, this is great! You get cool, big, lead pellet guns and get to shoot these pellets at targets using your gun man skills. At the end you get to keep your targets, and boast to your friends about how good your score was! Cooking We cook most of our food at scout camps. This may sound boring but it is probably one of the most enjoyable things. We cook cool things, such as eggy bread, pancakes and more. You would enjoy it! Canoeing Nothing beats a good canoe down a river. Its great fun and the danger of tipping over excites you. However it is difficult to get the hang of paddling, but a brilliant activity.
Xtreme Ironing Ok, we don't actually
do this in scouts... but it would be cool if we did. It's a
stra Climbing Yet again this is obviously a great activity. You can climb up high places or low places, depending on your climbing abilities. There's not much to say, but it's cool! Abseiling Obviously once you have climbed up something there's the coming down. If you're boring you can take some steps down (probably), but if you're exciting you can abseiling down. Abseiling is walking (or jumping), down a vertical face. As boring as it sounds, it is really cool.
