Seven Scouts receive Gold Award from the British Ambassador

On March 11th this year I went on a Scout Camp to the Beach Club in Azabia Muscat, my first Scout Camp.

When I was thinking whether I should go or not I never thought it would be so much fun...

As one of the activities required to complete their Fitness Challenge, 10 Scouts supported by 3 Leaders from the 1st Oman Scout Troop participated in either the Muscat Half Marathon (21 km) or the 10 km race on 6 February 2009.

For our winter camp, we had originally planned to hold a joint camp with the Dubai/Abu Dhabi BGA groups. Unfortunately this fell through due to the local holidays not being compatible (hopefully next time). So between the 7th and 11th December 2008, fifty Explorers, Scouts, Cubs, leaders and parent helpers of the 1st Oman Scout Group held a winter camp at Saham Scout Camp (about 2 hours drive north of Muscat, close to Sohar).
