Isaac’s expedition challenge en route to Gold Award
Isaac enjoys a curry on the first night.
We’re very pleased and proud to say that Isaac Pearcey has earned his Chief Scout’s Gold Award, the highest award attainable in Scouts. All nine challenge awards and at least six activity badges need to be awarded for a Scout to gain the Gold Award and this takes terrific dedication.
Some of you might know that one of the final achievements that counted towards Isaac’s award was a summer expedition challenge. Here are excerpts and photos from Isaac’s blog from the trip. You can see the full blog here
Congratulations again, Isaac!
Planning: “First, we decided what we were going to take, so we made a list.”
Wet weather route: “Then we had to plan the routes, so we used the Komoot app. We planned a wet weather and a dry weather route for Friday.”
Friday afternoon: “We packed what we needed and then we drove to my granny’s house, left the car and cycled back to the campsite in the pouring rain.”
Friday evening: “We arrived back at the campsite and began making dinner (it had stopped raining).”
Saturday: “We also planned 3 routes for saturday, that joined up, and did them all… Then we planned to cycle along the river path from Henley-on-Thames to Shiplake.”
