|  A record number of over 50 scouts from across the district attended a ‘back to basics’ survival camp where after spending the first night under canvass they were taught the basic skills of pit fire lighting and shelter building ready to spend the following night in their own bivouacs.
The weekend was over seen by a team headed up by Jonny Kitching and they provided training on all aspects of survival including food preparation, emergency first aid, distress signals, fire-lighting, water sourcing and cleansing.

Welcome to Loughborough District Scouts place on the World Wide Web!
Loughborough District includes, Castle Donington, Kegworth, Belton, Long Whatton, Diseworth, Hathern, Shepshed and of course Loughborough. There are nearly 600 young people, (aged 6 to 25), and Adults, (18+), involved in Loughborough District Scouting. There are over 40 meetings a week across the district so there is a place for you somewhere! There will be no better time to take up the challenge and adventure Scouting offers then now! 2011 is Loughborough Districts Centenary Year; we are looking forward to lots of opportunities to celebrate this occasion. Celebrations will start with a New Years residential experience for our older Sections, followed by our Centenary Camp at Easter time where the theme will be, ‘Party!’ This will involve all sections in Loughborough District aged 6 & 25 and beyond. Charnwood 2011 Leicestershire’s international Jamboree will be once again taking place in our District at Whatton House and I hope we are all looking forward to taking part in some way. We also have plans underway for our very own Centenary Ball for Adults only, and I know that all our Assistant District Commissioners are planning events for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers throughout the year. If you are someone who would like to get involved in the Adventure, then please call 0845 643 0159 or use this contact form. We look forward to hearing from you. Many Thanks Colin Laws
District Commissioner
