Welcome to the Pole 2 Pole pages
All of the Pole 2 Pole team are looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones at Poacher 2008. Our aims are to make everyone feel welcome on our Sub Camp and bring a truly "POLAR" atmosphere to Poacher 2008.
As always we will have plenty of activities for participants and leaders including our now 'world famous' swap shop!
Please take time to visit our pages regularly as we will update them regularly with more information on our Sub Camp.
If you wish to contact the Sub Camp to query anything or ask a question please email: pole2pole@ratherbewalking.com

| Getting ready for Pole 2 Pole |
Things you can do in your units in preparation for Poacher 2008 and the Pole 2 Pole Sub Camp.
There are a few things we need from you to help you feel part of our sub camp.
• Each Scout or Guide to bring a decorated fish cut out of paper with their
name and group on it
and with a metal paper clip attached. The fish should be no bigger than A5. This
is
for a friendship activity in the marquee.
• Each group is to bring either a polar bear or a penguin, made out of anything
you want,
but measuring no bigger than 60cm tall or wide. Please indicate on it somehow
which
group it is from.

Don't forget to bring your mini Ski Jumper for our Pole 2 Pole Ski Jump!
Here is a picture of the ski jump to give you an idea of what you need!

Each day at Poacher Chris (C) will be looking for articles from members of the Sub Camp for the media team to put in the Poacher Paper.
