District Survival Weekend Success
| The West District Survival Weekend was held at Overstone Scout Campsite over the weekend of 20th/21st March 2004 |
| The Scouts had to demonstrate various survival skills such as constructing a bivouac, hiking, lighting a fire, building a wood pile and skinning a rabbit. We were lucky enough to win the competition again following on from our success in 2002 and retained the title, there being no competition in 2003. Well done. |
