Western Lakes Scout District

Western Lakes created this short film for Crosslacon and St Bees Service for VE Day 2020.

@wxmmoz Yes it’s about £12 per month but I think you can have up to 100 users in different meetings so it should have enough capacity for our busy evenings if everyone wants to use it. Don’t quote me tho, I’m not the tech bod.

Western Lakes held their first online meeting this evening! 1st Beckermet Beavers played Pictionary via Zoom. It’s the leader’s turn on Monday. 😃#skillsforlife #CumbriaScouts

2nd Seascale Cubs survived Storm Dennis! Wet walks and an investiture by the lake. Well done guys! #CumbriaScouts #SkillsforLife

Very proud of our Deputy District Commissioner Allan Simpson, who spent the weekend in Kandestag as Team Lead on the Impact of Scouting Working Group in the European Region. 😃 #CumbriaScouts #SkillsForLife

Not many photos from Wintercamp 2020 cos the weather was so bad but we all survived and here’s an idea of the atmosphere inside a canvas mess tent with 17 young people, 6 adults, 4 gas burners, 2 petrol lamps, and a wood burner...

New Year’s Day in a woodland. What better place to discuss training validation? Happy New Year! #CumbriaScouts

Wet and muddy fun yesterday, racing sedan chairs at Ennerdale at our Crazy Idea Activity Day. 😃

Campfire at the end of the day. Seascale are in the lead with the only Good Camping pennant so far. Gosforth and Cleator Moor still on Standard. All to play for tomorrow...

Opening ceremony at Western Lakes Scout Camping Competition. Explorers ready for their supporting roles. Camp judging starts in five minutes. Promises to be a fun and sunny weekend! 😄⛺️

Getting back to it in the autumn term, making apple crumble.

And someone’s little sister grabbed a corner to sell lemonade for 1st Egremont Guides trip to Toronto 2020!

One of our Western Lakes Eurojammers manning his tombola stall at Gosforth Show. Raising funds for the trip to the European Jamboree 2020 in Gdansk.

On parade at The Menin Gate.

Last on the bus! Western Lakes Explorers head off to Belgium.

Saturday saw the inaugural Leaders’ Summer BBQ to say thank you to our amazing volunteers. Great weather, great food and great company.

Phoenix and Mavericks Explorers’ evening view, wild camping in the lakes.

Seascale Scout Group AGM. Perfect beach setting. The end of another successful year for this awesome group.

Cub Curry Night. Didn’t actually curry any Cubs but got the Leaders around the table for food, chat and ideas for the forthcoming Scouting year. Exciting times.

Mountain Weekend Day Two: Explorers. Red Pike. What a difference! Low visibility, high winds, dynamic risk assessment and route planning. Ice creams in the rain. Nine happy young people and another Hill Walking Permit in the bag. Yay! #SkillsForLife
