Abseil with the Troop

On Sunday 13th December we joined up with the Troop for the last day of their annual Leapfrog activity to take them abseiling. We decided to go to Wied Ix-Xaqqa since it’s probably one of the easier abseil locations around the island. Over twenty Scouts were present and all got to abseil around 25 metres!

After each Scout had had his turn, we had some time to abseil ourselves. CXO Zack and AVSL Ian tried their hands at a forward rappel, along with ASL Simon. Zack also practiced lowering an abseiler from Bottom Safety position.

All in all it was a great Sunday morning and afternoon, which I’m sure the Scouts really enjoyed and will be telling their friends all about all week at school!

As for us, the year hasn’t finished yet, with our next activity being a well deserved Christmas Party, and then a pioneering activity with the AFM!

What a year 2009 has been!

Over and out.
