Thanks to the huge generosity of Tesco Shoppers in Winchester Stores, Winchester Scouts recieved a £10k grant from the Tesco Bags of Help all the way back in 2016. Take a peek at some of the pictures to find out more
This new Camp Fire Circle will comfortably seat either:
-
385 Beavers, or …
-
330 Cubs, or …
-
290 Scouts, or …
-
230 adults.
Why not look at the works photos or Architects drawings?
The Camp Fire Circle is both:
-
the central meeting place for everyone at Pinsent and
-
also the 'heart and soul' of any Camp through Scouts' activities that take place around it during the day and at night.
During the initial phase, 10 lorry loads of chalk were used to create the amphitheatre banks. 15 days after hiring a digger, the chalk was shaped, which allowed the vertical sleepers to be concreted into place. Then the seating was attached. An amazing team of two worked for a further 5 days, pinning the 100 oak sleepers into place.
Bark chipping, and grass seed was spread arround the new structure. The new oak railway sleepers were sanded, edged and treated. Much of the work was carried out by voulnteers from the Groups during the Pinsent Working Weekend of 1-2 April 2017
Lastly, a massive thank you to everyone at Tesco who have made this possible.
Thank you TESCO Bags of Help.
