Explorers went on a summer hike across Brantingham Dale. More experienced Explorers coached the younger ones in essential navigation skills that will hopefully guide them throughout life. Lessons learnt in Scouting last a lifetime.

Siemens Hike
Arapaho Cubs walked past the Siemens factory to learn a little bit about the wind turbines made there. We even saw a blade being moved! We also talked about our late patron the Queen, deciding to spend some more time at our next meeting to draw pictures and write messages of condolence.
Spring Hike
Beavers enjoyed their first hike of the year, walking along the foreshore from Hessle to North Ferriby. We couldn’t have picked a nicer evening for the walk, although a little misty, the setting sun was a huge bright orange ball in the sky.
Somewhere under the rainbow!
We had lots of Beavers earning their very first Hikes badge tonight. We went for a walk around the fields near Hessle Mount Farm, with Beavers following the map as part of their Navigator badge. We got a bit wet again, but it was worth it to see the double rainbow.
Explorers Exploring
Explorers met up outdoors for the first time in over a year, for a socially distanced walk around Elloughton, followed by presentation of new name tapes for uniforms. Everyone enjoyed the fresh air and the chat.
SPLASH!
Cherokee Cubs had an active end to the term, with a hike from Brantingham to South Cave, team games with water at the den, and a morning at Welton Waters. The smiles in the pictures say what fun they all had.
OUT AND ABOUT
Cherokee Cubs recently split into two groups and spent some time out and about – on a hike around Elloughton Dale and swimming. These activities enabled the Cubs to achieve various levels of the Hikes and Swimmer staged badges.
GEOCACHING
As part of their navigator badge, last week Beavers each drew their own maps of the route of our hike, and tonight they successfully followed them. Along the way we also did a bit of geocaching, first of all finding one that someone else has hidden – well done to Elliott for finding it. We…

Park in the Dark
For our last meeting before Easter, Hessle Beavers had a chip shop hike, followed by a visit to the park. We walked from the scout den to the chip shop, and collected our supper to eat in the park. Much fun was had shining torches from the top of the climbing frames. We then presented…
Beavers 30th Birthday Postcard Swap
Hessle Beavers are taking part in the Beavers 30th Birthday Postcard swap. Last term as part of our Digital Citizen Badge we made postcards, and this week we went on a short hike to post them. We hope to get lots in return and are making a map of them to see where all the…
Cherokee Summer Hike
For the last meeting of the summer term Cherokee hiked from Brantingham to South Cave – a short walk with lots of steep hills. At the highest point of the walk overlooking some fantastic view of the Humber, our newest member, Grace, was invested. At the end of the evening Cubs were presented with challenge…
Wolds Challenge 2015
This year we entered 2 teams into the Wolds Challenge, a day hike competition to test navigation and teamwork skills. Both teams completed the course with only one team having a slight navigational error! We are still waiting for the official results of where the two teams placed.
Beavers Hike along the Humber
Hessle Beavers undertook a practice hike this week, in preparation for the Hessle Scout Group sponsored walk on 9 May. It was a lovely evening to be down by the river, and the Beavers walked at a fantastic pace whilst throwing lots of stones into the water.
