History of the Sarum Network

Page 1

    The Salisbury Area Scout Network was formed in 2002 from a core group of ex-Venture Scouts in the area who had enjoyed a two week trip to Prague that summer. So, with that firm base of friendship they set up the Network and as such were some of the first to do so in the country. The Sarum Network was also one of the first if not THE first unit in the region to register its own namePhil Haskell, Ian Gorham, Mick Chalke & John E Fry in Prague, Sarum, taken from Old Sarum, the ancient name for Salisbury.

     It was not long before the Salisbury Network began to grow in numbers. A few more old Venture Scouts returned to Scouting and our new section, but surprisingly and very happily the majority of new faces came from outside the Scout Movement. Now we could start doing things, and so in 2003 we ran our first trip away, SNEE, the Sarum Network Easter Expedition, hill walking in North Wales, which we have resurrected as our Easter Ski Trips.

Simon Coombes, Matt Kinsey, Mark Warner & others party on!       Our biggest venture together so far was WINGS 2003 (Windsor InterNational Guide and Scout camp) where we joined the staff as Service Team. Our job was to build and run the camp’s mammoth assault course, and, spread over 10 acres, was a lot more difficult than we had first imagined! But we got it built, and built well enough to withstand an average daily pounding by over 400 Scouts and Guides!
