On a chilly weekend in October, 30 Scouts from all over the Bedfordshire County attended a Nautical Skills Weekend at Luton Hoo. The aim of the weekend was to learn the necessary skills to pass the Nautical Skills Badge. The whole event was organised and run by the 1^st Luton Sea Scouts.

 

The weekend involved various activities in, on and off the water, such as:

 

Dinghy Sailing

Canoeing

Navigation afloat

Survival skill

Emergency procedures

First aid

Weather

Raft building

Ropework

And lots more.

 

Despite the cold, a lot of fun was had by all. It was a very busy weekend with lots to get through, although there was time at the end of the weekend for some free time playing on all the boats and swimming in the lake.
