The 4th Southgate Scouts spent the last weekend camping at Rammey Island on the River Lea Navigation, taking to the the water on the Saturday in canoes and kayaks on a 6km round trip to Herts Young Mariners Base. They were joined by Scouts from the 20th Southgate and 23rd Southgate and although many had never met before, they quickly became a cohesive unit. In particular the meals served up by the Scouts on Saturday and Sunday certainly raised the bar in terms of camp cuisine. The scouts also tried their hand at crayfishing with varied success and wide games on the bleak wilderness of Rammey Marsh.

The Scouts can now rest up before their big trip away to Austria at the end of July.
