SVS Bootcamp & Navex 3 2007

I'm back from an amazing Summer Camp with the Sliema Venture Scouts. We spent 5 intense days in the field during which the RVSs got a chance to try out some new things and practice their basic skills.

We built a lift mechanism as a pioneering structure, went climbing and abseiling at Wied Iz-Zurrieq, explored the shelters underneath the campsite, went Canoiing at Little Armier and did a Recce in Delimara.

The recruits also got the chance to take part in demanding Medevac drills, night games, various team building command tasks and perfect their Drill technique & CQB.

We also got a visit from a Judo master who taught us various techniques (and also some dirty moves).

We also had some down time during which to mix and let off some stea. These included SVS Hotchocolate night, a pasta night, a pizza making competition & a BBQ.

The programme was completely packed with activities and it was literally a 5 day non stop event which had many nice suprises throughout. On the 5th night the RVSs took part in their last training Navex before the Graduation Exercise which is to take place next weekend (22nd/23rd).
