After a night of incessant rain, the explorers woke to find that their tents were dry, much to their surprise! Most of us enjoyed warm showers, except for a few who chose to spend a few more valuable moments in their sleeping bags, missed out on the precious hot water. #scoutcampproblems Having finished breakfast we went […]
Read moreKandersteg Day 2
After the first good night’s sleep, breakfast was served. We then had our first proper flag break of camp followed by a few notices and we had less than an hour to get ourselves ready for the day: a hike up the Gallihorn, a mountain at the head of our valley. The hike was only […]

Traffic jams and bad singing, (Dearbhla, Aneesa and Thomas). Step off the coach in Kandersteg. WOW! Mountains are big AND rocky! Sorry, how far does Marley-Bear want us to carry the kit? 2 hours worth of erecting tents in the blistering heat. Marley-Bear ditches explorers for a comfy ride to cable cars in a […]

Our 7th Birthday BBQ
Wild Wolf ESU was set up in 2009, and since then we’ve participated in many crazy activities and been to many new places. Last night, we invited our family and friends to Scout Park, to celebrate our 7th birthday with a barbecue and the presentation of several prestigious awards. We were very pleased to welcome […]
Read moreA White Water Weekend for the Leaders
At Wild Wolf Explorer Scout Unit we are very fortunate to be able to do a lot of DofE expeditions by canoe. In our opinion, letting the water carry the bags is certainly the best way to do a DofE expedition! Paddling is just as much fun for the Leaders as it is for the […]

A Sunny Weekend on the Thames
Last weekend, the Unit dedicated itself to canoeing. Scouts from all over gathered at Longridge Activity Centre to prepare for, or complete, Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions, and to improve their skills on the water. One Gold DofE team completed a grueling practice expedition along the Thames, to ensure that they were all ready for […]
Read moreWarm Up for Kandersteg Camp
It was Friday evening, and the majority of WWESU and TESU had gathered at Scout Park, complete with rucksacks, walking boots, and all the usual kit; it was time for our ‘practice summer camp’ camp, organised by Phil. In other words, this was the dry-run for Switzerland. This was your chance to forget your extra […]
Read moreCounty Mountaineering Weekend
Scouting is all about doing activities, and to do these we need permits (something to do with safety). This weekend’s aim was to help get people permits and prepare others (like Explorers) to get them in the future. Wild Wolf was joining the County Activities’ Team’s weekend to get permits and experience. On the Friday, we […]
Read moreKit Check for KISC
This summer, WWESU and TESU are headed off to Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland. As the crow flies, it is 500 miles from Scout Park to KISC, and by road, it’s roughly 700 miles. In other words, it’s a long way. So if you forget your spare fleece, or those all-important extra fluffy walking […]
Read moreSt George’s Day Celebrations
While most people might know Saint George as that guy who killed a dragon, we know him as something different: the patron saint of Scouting. And as last Saturday was St George’s Day, we spent Sunday down at Scout Park, taking part in the celebrations. We arrived bright and early at 9am, and quickly got to work […]
