It is ten years since the Explorer Scout section was launched here in Woking and across the UK. Over 60 Explorer Scouts aged 14 to 18 and leaders from six units from the Borough started the year with their first camp of the year, on Wisley Common. In very cold and icy winds, with overnight temperatures below minus two degrees, over the weekend of the 28th and 29th January, they enjoyed forty eight hours of fun challenges and games based on significant events of the last decade.
Activities included pioneering large structures with which to lift people into the air, recreating life-size versions of classic arcade games such as Pacman and Space Invaders, and firing water rockets.
The camp was organised by the District Explorer Scout Committee, comprising of scouts from each of the 6 Units, and is the first in a series of celebratory events held to mark the tenth birthday of Woking Explorer Scout Section, with a grand finale Birthday Party Camp happening later in the year.
