Roving Scarf 2014

The Roving Scarf is back for the Summer of 2014. Take your scarf on holiday or for a day trip, photograph it and ask your parent/guardian to email a copy to rovingscarf at gmail dot com (without the spaces and replace the words with the appropriate symbol!) and we will feature your pictures on this blog.

 Last year the scarf travelled far and wide, where will it go this time?

Youth Hostelling

The scarf took a trip with one of the ASL and his family - thanks to all who sent us their summer photos. I look forward to seeing where the scarf goes next summer.

Hunstanton

Zachary's scarf (from River Ash) came to Hunstanton on holiday and it went on the beach and on the land train.  A good time was had by all. Thank you Zachary. See at Beavers in September.

 

 

Boating

It seems that our scarf has enjoyed a couple of trips to London...

The roving scarf has been spotted in Devon and Somerset. Gill one of our ASLs introduced the scarf to Gromit at Cheddar Gorge and Ethan, a Heron Cub, enjoyed a drink of Heron apple juice.

 

 

 

Lochearnhead - Day 1

Flag break at the station - In activity gear for a quick get away!

After everyone had eaten and changed, we walked to the station for flag break. For some of us it was a welcome return to a familiar and well loved base, for others the excitement of finally setting foot on the station.

 

After this we set off for our activities. 3rd Ware members have been involved in biking (a 2 day cycle, camping overnight in between) day hikes, sailing and kayaking. Those who returned to the station will be fed well, settle into their cabins, will have some form of evening entertainment and learn about life at the station. Those on the bike ride are spending their first night in Scotland at the Invertrossachs campsite.

If you look carefully you will spot the roving scarf, resting on the ground. Well, it had to join the adventure!
