Well done to our four teams out at the Rickard Shield last night, good efforts all round and great to see you all still smiling as you came back in - congratulations to Phoenix (team 24) who finished in joint third place! . #CabotExplorers #PhoenixESU #SpitfireESU #SteamaESU #ConcordeESU

Another two amazing awards achieved recently - Chief Scout’s Diamond for Max and Phoebe from #SpitfireESU , presented at their Unit’s recent Dragon Award camp! #CabotExplorers #DragonAward

Our four DofE Gold groups have been out sharing what they got up to on their expeditions this summer with their Units - featuring wild camping in the Lakes 🏕, an amber heat warning 🥵, and a sassy ladybird called Eric 💅 Josh from Spitfire was also awarded his Bronze DofE! 🎉 #CabotExplorers #BrabazonESU #ConcordeESU #SpitfireESU #DofE

1 year 2 months and 20 days since we last had Explorers out on camp, they’re finally back! . Spitfire ESU were out last weekend hiking from Bristol to Tintern, with a night at Botany Bay - and there are another six Unit camps coming up over the next few weeks 🏕 . Fingers crossed for the first District camp that’s down in the calendar - @themeparkcamp in September! 🎢 . #CabotExplorers #SpitfireESU #Camping #BotanyBay #ThemeParkCamp

The platinum award fairy has been to visit again! Congratulations to Joshua (Spitfire) and Lauren (Pirates) who’ve recently completed their awards and join the hall of fame 🤩 #SpitfireESU #PiratesESU #CabotExplorers

While Explorers have been able to work on some of their Top Awards over the last year, not being able to get out and about made it difficult for anybody to finish 😫 . After over a year of waiting, these six from Spitfire have finally been able to finish their Platinum awards, and join the Hall of Fame! 🌟 👑 . #SpitfireESU #CabotExplorers #SkillsForLife

Spitfire have their Silver and Gold DofE teams out this week, finally getting their practice expeditions in! Unfortunately no camping allowed currently, so they’re having to head home each day, but it’s good to see them out ⛰ #SpitfireESU #CabotExplorers

And that’s another Unit back - Spitfire finished off their term with a socially distanced campfire, getting to catch up and finally meet some of their new Explorers in the flesh! 🔥 #CabotExplorers #SpitfireESU

Great to have so many join last nights murder mystery - there were some interesting lines of enquiry taken, with one Unit even cracking out tarot cards to try and contact the dead DC 💀 Thankfully one Unit managed to identify the killer... Harry, our Youth Commissioner - congrats Spaniorum! #CabotExplorers #BrabazonESU #ConcordeESU #PiratesESU #PhoenixESU #SpaniorumESU #SpitfireESU #SteamaESU #WhiteTreeESU

With our Units moving their regular meetings online, we figured why not try a District Explorer Event too! Last night 50 Explorers from across all our Units came together with Network to compete in a virtual Monopoly Run around New York - congrats to Phoenix ESU for taking the top spot 🎉 #CabotExplorers #BrabazonESU #ConcordeESU #PhoenixESU #PiratesESU #SpaniorumESU #SpitfireESU #SteamaESU #WhiteTreeESU

Congratulations to the final 2019 hall of fame entry - Max from Spitfire, who holds the special honour of being the first from his Unit to achieve Chief Scout’s Platinum! Congratulations also to leader Ros who was awarded the Chief Scout’s Commendation for Good Service 🥳 #SpitfireESU #CabotExplorers

Spitfire spent the evening getting themselves tied up in knots as they brushed up on some knotting #SkillsForLife , as well as (very diplomatically) choosing their Unit colour #SpitfireESU #CabotExplorers
