Doggerland Adventures!

In 2017, the 44th Norwich Scouts were hosted by the Saint Clemens Scout Group, at the Spejdernes Lejr jamboree in Denmark. This summer saw the return trip, with the Danish Scouts joining the 44th on their summer camp in West Runton.

The camp was themed on Doggerland – the ancient land that existed between England and Denmark, before the North Sea flooded following the end of the last Ice Age. Many of our activities followed this Stone Age theme – including: coastal foraging, preparing fish and rabbits, building tribal shelters, ancient crafts, tribal creation myths, a mammoth-hunters wide-game, and a ‘Bone Feast’ ceremony! We also enjoyed hiking in the lovely North Norfolk countryside, including achieving the Danish ‘Hike 5km backwards’ badge!

Great fun for all – with new skills learned, new friendships made and old ones strengthened. Big thanks to all involved for making it such a successful event, including the support we received from North-East Norfolk District.
