Over the weekend 13th - 15th November 6 members of the unit went up to Auchengillan Scout Centre to take part in the latest GAPP weekend.

What is GAPP?

The Global Awareness Partnership Project is a way of finding out about International and Environmental issues through fun activities.

This weekend is now the third one to be run for Explorers and Network Members.

On the Friday it was just arrival and get to know session.


On the Saturday they had sessions on Fair trade,Sweat shop scenario's,Chocolate games,Paper bag game,Coffee quiz.

To finish of the night we had a quiz in which the leaders team won!!(Who said that we were old and did not know anything).

One of the leaders then brought out his DJ kit and some danced the night away(Well!!)

On the Sunday we started with a Scouts own to make everyone thing about what was important in Life.

After this we have a poverty challenge game.
To finish off the weekend we had sessions on Re-cycling and a few games.

The weekend hopefully was a success with everyone taking something back with them to pass on to others.
