		Cyclist Badge 2007 - Training Session 3 Eight intrepid Scouts working towards their Cyclist Badge. To complete the badge we are required to undertake a number of training rides and practical sessions on bike maintenance, map reading and navigation before undertaking a final off road bike ride of at least 30 kilometres (20 miles). These pictures are from the third training session which included some impromptu field repairs for three blown out tyres after we learned why we don't ride over thorny bushes:)
		Troop Camp 2006 This year we held our summer camp at Buddens Farm in Dorset. In addition to taking part in various activities on site we had day trips to Brownsea Island, Bovington Tank Museum and Splashdown in Poole. A number of us were also able to complete our Outdoor and Outdoor Plus Challenge badges during the camp. We also invested our latest troop member on Brownsea Island - an experience we're sure he will remember for the rest of his scouting career.
		Braggers Wood - May Group Camp 2006 In late May 60 Scouts, Cubs and Leaders from the 2nd Marlborough Group went to Braggers Woodfor our annual Group Camp. During the week-end we all had a go at climbing/abseiling, honed our team and leadership skills on a number of problem solving activities and hiked our way across some of the New Forest. We also tried our hand at building bivouacs, with a few of us even opting to sleep out in them all night!
		District Shooting Competition - June 2006 Sixteen Scouts representing the finest shooters from four of the North East Wiltshire Scout troops took part in this years NE Wilts District Shooting competition. This was the culmination of many weeks practicing our shooting skills in anticipation for the big final. 2nd Marlborough continued to display the same consistent performance demonstrated throughout this year in district events - taking an honourable 4th place:) In first place were Pewsey who won the prestiguous Frysol cup, second were Collingbourne and third place went to Great Bedwyn. In addition to the team challenge a Top Gun trophy was awarded for the highest individual score. This went to Jordan, also from Pewsey.
		District Go-Kart Competition After a 3 year absense the District go-kart competition was reinstated on the calendar this year. Congratulations go to 1st Collingbourne Scouts, who on the day succeeded in an almost clean sweep of the prizes winning both the Individual Team and Patrol Challenges. Taking 3rd and 4th place in the Off-Road challenge also rewarded them with the overall Group Winners Trophy.
