The 16th entered three teams in the Green Beret Challenge last weekend, an annual competition run by Hertfordshire Scouts.  This year there was a record entry of 142 teams and our Scouts finished a very creditable 55th, 60th and 96th.

The Challenge consists of four separate elements – Assault Course, Orienteering, Day Activity Bases and Night Activity Bases and ran from 8:30am to 11:00pm on Saturday.

Pictured below are the three teams after completing the event.

Five of our older Scouts from both troops completed their Expedition Challenge on 6th and 7th October.  The Scouts were responsible for planning the route from the 16th Scout Hut to Phasels Wood Scout Activity Centre near Hemel Hempstead and then completed the hike before camping out overnight.

Pictured below are the five scouts as they set off.
