Dear All,
we didn't get any adult volunteers who wanted to accompany the cubs to the Bivouac camp so the 31st Brighton wont be taking part this year.
Thanks,
Tim.

They will also have the chance to make some gadgets, eat food cooked over a wood fire backwoods style, take part in a wide game and cook some of their breakfast over a wood fire. There should also be the chance to do a bit of bodging and orienteering.

> All instructions for building the bivouac will be available beforehand and everything will be provided although you can embellish your bivouacs if you wish !! (There will be a prize this time for the most creative bivouac). The adult helping must have at least a rudimentary knowledge of fire lighting because Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast will be cooked on their own wood fire. FOOD will be provided (for cubs and adults) so please advise of any special dietary conditions.

> The adults will need a tent, cooking utensils for dinner and breakfast as well as eating implements and anything else you would like to make the camp more comfortable for you. You can bring a stove for emergencies. If you want to socialise after the cubs are settled please do so – please remember to do so considerately and quietly.
