The Annual District Raft Race 2009
 
On 27th September 2009, the Troop once again braved the chilly waters of Chelmsford to take part in the Annual event that they have so long been patrons of. This year, they had three rafts, the blue barrels from the previous year and two new aditions; a red polystyrene 'Ferrari' syle raft and a bath-paddle steamer. The Red raft flew across the water in all its heats, winning fasted raft and the paddle steamer won the most original, despite it sinking. A great time was had by leaders, parents and most of all the Scouts as they had such a good time building and testing their rafts!
Group Night Hike, June 2009
 
Over the 27th and 28th June 2009, members from all three sections of the 26th Chelmsford took part in a Night Hike around Maldon with the Beavers and the Cubs and Scouts doing just over 8 miles. A great time was had by all and by the time everyone got back, we were all worn out. Pictures from the event will be up on the site soon!
