On the weekend of the 10th to 12th September 41 Scouts from the Sale district survived the Omega Camp. This is a survivial camp held at Giant's Seat campsite, where they had to build shelters, scavange for food, gut and skin rabbits, identify what birds you can eat from their feathers plus cook. 11 Teams from the 7th Sale, 17th Sale and 2nd Brooklands entered the competition. Tony Sant and his band of helpers explained the differences between the types of mushrooms and berries you can and can not eat plus taught survival skills.

The Regional Commissoner Chris Harris visited on the Sunday and was impressed with what they had acheived and how confident the scouts were in speaking to him including the youngest Megan at 10 and half who had only been in scouts 2 weeks. His message to them was to tell they friends what they did over the weekend and how is it much better than sitting playing an X Box.

Thanks must to Tony, Steve etc for orgranising the camp. Also a extra thanks must go to Tony which for him this was the last event as ADC(S) of Sale.

The top placings as follows got prizes with the winners, a team from 7th Sale, won the shield. This was the first time they had won it in 20 years of entering. Well done to them. All participants got a unique "2010 Omega" badge plus a special necker.
