The 2010 2MAD4 Leaders was held at Linnet Clough on the last weekend in March.  As tradition has it this being the time where the clocks go forward. But the harden leaders of GMW can cope with more lack of sleep (at least some can).

2MAD4L stands for 2 multi activity days and this year it was non stop than most with Cube climbing, Low ropes, Assault course, Le Mans Pedal Cars, Shooting, Geocaching, Danish Long Ball, Catapult building and a number of team building activities being carried out over the weekend.

As well as the fun events there was Technology in Scouting training and an issues session. During the issues session problems in the scout troop were listed, prioritised and potential solutions identified for the top three. Download the output of this session from here. Let the ACC(S) know if this is useful output. A scouts own was put together by the participants as well as service carried out for the Linnet Clough site.

The participants were divided into two teams the Bluejays and the D'EGS who fiercely competed in the competition part of the event. The D'EGS came out eventual winners. Well done to them. For the full results download from here. A university challenge quiz based on a Scouting theme was held. As one would expect a team of experts including the CC won the quiz. Although there was some controversial questions on Nights Away and spacing between contour lines.

Special mention must go to Jessica who overcame her fears and managed to climb the cube. No mean feat.

Here is a set of photos of the event care of and thanks to Andy Pagett. Watch this space for details of next year's event.
