Scout Troop Scout
Shout Newsletter Team. |
Jailbreak 2003 was a great success, over £500 has been
raised to this date, the estimate was £300. The Eagles took the
trophies handmade my Charles himself. The Eagles won walking a
distance of 4.9 miles, the Cobras were close behind, just an
extra 200 metres would have got them the prize, they finished
with a total distance of 4.7 miles. The troop were taken to
Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire and then taken to a secret
location (Melchbourne). From there the teams were by themselves
although there was a leader close behind them checking up on
them every now and again.
Here are some more reports of the day:
The 15th march was the comic relief jail break we met at the
scout hut, we were taken to graffam waters and given our tasks
for the day, we had to find a phone box, church, post box, a
minor road and a public footpath. Scouts were sponsored by
friends and family for the event with all the money going to
comic relief total raised so far is £550.12 some of the photos
taken can be seen on the website the winning team was the eagles
and all who took part had a great day. And the weather was good
for a change.

The 1st Stotfold Ridgway Scout Troop ran
a 'Jail Break' in aid of Comic Relief Red Nose Day 2003.
We ran the event on Saturday 15th March 2003.
This was the day after Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day.
Scouts were blindfolded for the journey to the Jail Break Base.
Scouts were working in patrols and each team was sent
off at 2min intervals. The Scouts got sponsored for
achieving all of the set tasks.
Teams were issued with a map, compass and a
camera. The Teams aims were to find out where they are and then
work out a route so that they can photograph themselves at a Post
box, Telephone box, Church, minor road, Footpath, Bridle way and a
bridge. Teams were also able to compete for the Jail Break 2003
prize. This was issued to the team that got the furthest away from
the start point in the 3 hour allocated time.
Throughout the day the teams reported
back to base via radio or mobile phone. They reported
their positions as a 6 figure grid reference every 30mins and the
Jail Break Base kept a record of where each team was as well
as where all leaders and helpers were located.
Gold trophies were awarded to each participant of the
winning patrol.
