Welcome
A little about ourselves
Black Prince SAS was set up in 2012 to continue running the existing District Scout Hikes once Bexleyheath District merged and became part of the new Bexley District.
In 2015 we added a new event, Evade & Capture, where as well as navigation teams also had to avoid being captured en route.
In 2017 we re-introduced the Pegasus Hike, a night hike of 9 to 12 miles for the Explorer Scout section.
In 2018 we started a Monopoly Challenge in London for Scouts and Explorers.

Haslehurst Hike 2018
Congratulations to 1st Foots Cray Scouts who narrowly won the junior Haslehurst Hike at the start of the October half term - their 1st success in the competition. It was great to see so many teams entered and well done to all - most teams completed the route and as usual the competition was very closely fought. For the first time that any of us can remember we unfortunately had no senior teams entered this year - hopefully a one-off and many of this year's junior teams will come back as senior ones next year and walk without a leader. As every year many thanks to everyone who helped with running the hike which is much appreciated as always. 
Pegasus Hike 2018
In October 2018 we also ran the Pegasus Hike for Explorer Units within Bexley to run alongside the Haslehurst Hike with a similar but slightly longer route which was deservedly won by the team from Hurricane Explorers, a couple of whom had also been part of the winning team in 2017 and are now aiming for a hat-trick next year. 
Evade & Capture V
The first of our 2019 hikes took place in Sussex in April with 1st Baldwyns Park winning the event for a 3rd time in 5 years. As always many thanks to all of the Leaders, SAS members and Explorer Scouts who came along to be part of the Red Army - the event simply wouldn't work without you.

Howard Morgan Patrol Hike 2019
The annual Howard Morgan Patrol Hike took place on it's traditional day in June in the Kent countryside with most teams completing the route and a close competition. Congratulations to 4th Barnehurst Impeesa who were deserved winners. The omens were clearly good for them with their last 2 wins coming in 1999 and 2009!! 
Sixers Hike Challenge 2019
Congratulations to 1st Baldwyns Park Hathi Cubs who regained the Sixers Hike Challenge and continued their recent dominance with a 6th win in 8 years!
As ever this competition was very close with only a few points separating all of the teams and we hope to see many of the older Cubs at October's Haslehurst Hike once they've moved onto Scouts. As always, many thanks to all the Leaders and Young Leaders who gave up their time to help at HQ, run checkpoints or walk with the Cub teams. 
Monopoly Challenge 2018
In November we ran our first Monopoly Challenge events around the locations of the London Monopoly Board. Congratulations to 5th/7th Bexleyheath who won an incredibly close Scout competition, with only 5 points separating the top 4 teams and to Hornets ESU who won the Explorer competition.
