Meet our Quartermasters! Today they met at our stores to tidy and audit the Unit’s equipment ahead of a busy summer of camps and expeditions.

As summer expeditions edge closer, Explorers have been making final DofE preparations with a consolidation session. The night included a first aid recap, kit check and river safety practical all ensuring our Explorers were ready for a safe and fun expedition in a few weeks time!

We’re back at it again! We’re spending our weekends canoeing (and capsizing) along the River Lea allowing our explorers to further develop their paddling and canoe rescue skills.

For the first week back after half term and continuing with our weekly training, one of our @dofeuk groups went for their second paddle session on the River Lea to build on canoeing skills that they worked on a few weeks ago. Undertaking a 2+ day expedition in a canoe is hard work, so it’s vital everyone is confident with their paddle strokes and rescues.

In true Wild Wolf style, only 5 days after restrictions were eased, 4 of our PLs and 2 Leaders were off for a weekend of hiking in Snowdonia. Being the first camp back after over a year and the first in the district, everyone was super excited and the camp was definitely one to remember! Highlights were a tricky scramble up Tryfan, a dip in the freezing river Afon Llugwy and then a sunset walk along it. Go and check out our blog post by clicking the link in our bio!

Take a look at one of our @dofeuk training groups spending the evening on the River Lea. The team spent the night learning paddling skills essential for a successful expedition, as well enjoying some canoe based games to finish off the evening.
