The 5th Squirrels enjoyed an indoor camp learning new scouting skills.

The event took place last Friday night in their hall.

The young scouts were taught fire-lighting techniques, including the use of cotton wool to start a fire.

They also learned the names of all the parts of an axe.

After a busy evening of learning, the scouts enjoyed hot dogs for supper.
