1. Summer Geo-Hunt

    July 9, 2010 by "H"

    Solstice 2010 has been and gone but the Geo-Caches still remain!!

    As part of the Scouts summer program the boxes will be available for all to find leaders, scouts, parents, friends and family, some of the boxes still contain a joker card, if you are lucky enough to find one of these then remove the joker and send it to ADC Scouts Gary who will exchange for a solstice badge.

    Right Click, then save to your local hard drive(Geo Summer Challenge 1) to download the Geo-Cache clues which are the same given to teams who took part in Solstice.
    Good Hunting and have a great Summer.

  7. Solstice 2010 Is Go

    April 15, 2010 by "H"

    Solstice 2010 this year is at \”TOP- SECRET\” for now, but it is within an hours drive from Ormskirk town Centre, thats as much of a clue I am willing to release for now. However plans are well underway with the Inner Circle Leaders, meeting to come up with newer ways to torment you over the course of the Event (Mwa ha ha ha harrrr).  This year we are planning to make it a linking event whereby Cubs soon to be on their link will be allowed to join in with a team of younger scouts for the full event. We are also inviting young Explorers to team up with older Scouts to do the full event as well. See your Leader to get the Badge Design Entry form. The winner Chosen at County Rally will get to do Solstice 2010 for free, and a bag of Scout goodies as the Prize
