The highlight of the Year was our Ruby Camp in the Summer. We had the hottest week of the year. We had all kinds of challenges – both planned and unplanned – the supermarket having a problem with their delivery system and not delivering our £500 order! A great day out courtesy of the local farmer – butterfly catching (and releasing), climbing on a combined harvester, feeding the chickens and the lambs, washing the ponies, playing in a wheat mountain and a rope swing!
Ten of our girls started work towards their Baden Powell Challenge Badge and will continue to works towards completion next year.
