The first event of Andy Togs’ week long marathon of activities for the splorers.
We all met at Scout HQ at 1pm and everyone then headed down to Roman Lakes to meet Roger (King of the Kayaks). Once kitted out with buoyancy aids, helmets, kayaks and paddles, we hit the water!

For the first time in it’s history, this year’s Annual Easter Football Grudge match didn’t actually feature any current Cobden or Kinder scouts – they were too busy making their stew for lunch! And so it was that about 60+ old-boys from the two troops (in the form of Marple Explorers, Network and Alumni) battled it out for the prestige of being named Marple’s best Scout troop.
In 2009 it had ended in a stale-mate. 2010 saw the match won by Kinder on penalties, though Cobden took some comfort from the fact that they had been unassailable on their usual patch of moral high ground. Would 2011 prove to be another classic? Read our full report & then have a look at our exclusive match highlights.
The sun shone at Easter Camp as never before. Whilst the Cobden and Kinder Scouts were bivvying and building fires, it was the perfect time for the older boys and girls of Marple Explorers, Network, Rangers and Matrix, to have water-fights, shoot down 35 ft groundsheets slides, and generally laze around in the sun.
