For the past week the church has had a Christmas tree display. There were trees from various groups that use the church and a few local schools. There was a vote to which tree was the best, this year it was the 5th Exeter tree!!!!!!!!!!

We had a very busy weekend at Broadleas and it was great to have all sections join us at some point over the couple days.

Our Company and Senior boys enjoyed the peace Friday and Saturday morning with walks up Haytor and to the quarry for various games before being joined by our Junior section. Everyone then enjoyed exploring the site and took part in a water transport team game before having an evening walk up the tor followed by our signature bonfire with marshmallows!

On Sunday some of our Anchor section joined us for the day and took part in games including duck racing, apple slingshots and craft as the rain came in.

We hope everyone had a brilliant time and huge thanks to the Officers for making it a great weekend for the Boys’.
