Daerwynno – Friday 24^th May

We are planning to camp over Daerwynno on the Friday evening and the scouts will need the usual camping equipment. There will be no cost for this event but John will need to know who will be going by Sunday.

Brecon Hike  – 31^st May –  2^nd June

This is a hike along the Brecon Canal over two days and we have also organised canoeing on the Saturday evening for those that can swim over 50m. The cost of this camp is £15 and I need to know who is attending by next Friday.

Survival Camp 22^nd – 23^rd June

This camp will enable the scouts to gain their survival badge and this camp will be held in the middle of Glan Usk Estate in Brecon. There will be no charge for this camp even though this is costing £600 to stage as we are using an outside company that we have used in the past to provide the instructors. Please note there will be no toilet facilities available except in the wood and the menu will be interesting!!!!!

Dorset Camp – 23^rd – 28^th July

This camp is going ahead and will cost £90 per person for the 5 days. A deposit of £20 will be required by the 1^st June. The full amount will need to be paid three weeks before we depart. If any parents want to pay weekly please speak to John. Further details of this camp will be put on the website.

Further details of these activities will appear in the website www.pontygwaithscouts.org.uk

Many thanks.
