Army Night

Friday 1 October 2004 saw Scouts from the 5th Tynemouth learning about the modern army. They got to try on British, American, Saudi and even Iraqi uniforms from the 1990 Gulf war, as well as looking at photographs and some other souvenirs from Operation Granby, the British name given to Desert Shield and later Desert Sword.
After that they tried on some of the chemical suits used by the army and then crawled under a camouflage net, which turned into a race after the third time. By the end of the night the Scouts were starting to realise what the soldiers have to cope with as they started to feel the heat in their suits.
