Sherbrooke Forest District
Leaders Fun Camp
These pics are from the Sherbrooke Forest District Leaders
Fun Camp at Gilwell Park, Feb 4-6 2000.
Skills such as knots, lashings, compass reading and
1st Aid were instructed on Saturday and were put into practice
on Sunday with an orienteering course and raft building.
It was a great weekend and will be run again next year.
Here is our (former) DLCS Sherbrooke Forest, Di Ashcroft playing Tarzan
(one of the many things she played on the weekend).
Good on you, Di.
 
Here is our very brave (former) DLCS, Di Ashcroft being assisted
over the Electric Fence on Gilwell's Initiative Course.
 
Proudly we stand under the frame of an eating fly we have just lashed together.
 Not bad for Cubbies.  From left to right,Wigg Brantjes - Olinda,
Di Ashcroft - DLCS and Emerald, Kathy Vernon - Gembrook,

Kathy & Wigg showing off their square lashings they have just learned.
The real test of the lashings will come when we make the raft….
 
 
We decided to have a mock formal dinner on Saturday night. 
For those of us who didnt bring along appropriate attire, 
we raided the Gilwell Park dress up box, usually reserved for 
Advanced Training Courses
