Tonight, the Raptors ESU gathered at the hall for an evening of practical skills and tasty rewards. We kicked things off with a fire-lighting session, giving everyone a chance to hone their outdoor skills. Once the fires were going strong, it was time to cook the meal our Explorers had planned—delicious chicken kebabs grilled over the flames.

After everyone had their fill, we wrapped up the evening with a classic campfire favourite: s’mores. Gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crunchy biscuits were the perfect way to end a fun and fiery evening.

A great mix of skills, teamwork, and a bit of tasty indulgence—just the way we like it!

This weekend marked a major milestone for Raptors ESU as we officially invested our very first Explorers! In the iconic surroundings of Gilwell Park, six new members took their Explorer promises and were proudly presented with their unit scarves and unique Raptor woggles — a symbol of their place in something new, exciting, and full of adventure.

With the formalities complete, the fun truly began. The newly invested Raptors spread their wings in classic style, diving straight into a series of wide games across the woods and fields of Gilwell. It was a brilliant day full of energy, teamwork, and the start of something special.

Welcome to the Raptors — your journey begins now!
