Halloween Camp
Members of Cornwall Scout Network spent a spooky night at Tomperrow on Halloween night.
The scary-clad Networkers carved pumpkins and enjoyed a campfire before the weather moved in for the night.

A photographic glimpse at what Networkers have been up to over the summer:

County Scout Network Camp
Despite the damp weather members of Cornwall Scout Network and invited guests enjoyed a great weekend of fun and activities at Nine Ashes for the first ever county Network camp.
The camp offered the chance for Network members to get together as a county for the first time and take part in activities aimed specifically at their own age group.
Over the weekend members took part in climbing, archery, a murder mystery tour around Bodmin as well as plenty of socialising and their own pub quiz (won by Les Fruits Des Bois!).
The Networkers also successfully built an extremely ambitious pioneering project - and hourglass with sleeping platform on top. Although the weather did put stop to sleeping out on it, everyone still enjoyed building and climbing it.
The event will be hopefully be repeated sometime in the summer (with better weather). Remember, if you are aged between 18 and 25 then you can get involved with Scout Network too!
