Few Scouts headed out on our first navigation course to teach land to map interpretation. We had some interesting discussions on where we are but made it back safe and sound.

Drums a Drumming


Scouts learnt about African Drumming on Wednesday. We played a mixture of Group and Team work sets and by the end everyone was playing in harmony. Scouts were set a challenge to play a rhythm together, for 60 seconds. Cobras came out on top with an excellent display of team work.

Home

After an excellent camp it was good to be home. Scout Leader very broken at the end and crawled into bed for an afternoon nap.
Below photo is Rosie the Cat who insisted on being in the way at every opportunity while trying to do washing ( 6 loads) and putting kit away ....but she is very cute ( and knows it)

Tidy tent policy

7th operate a strict tidy tent policy - this photo demonstrates this. Not really sure who decided that everything needs to come out of bags and find a pitch before we had finished clearing the mess tent out but that exactly what happened. Scout Leader implemented a new policy of "no odd socks go back to Scout Hut" which didn't seem to make a slight bit of difference as I have serval at home ...

Lost the Plot

Towards the end of camp it all goes slightly weird. Tiredness, Adrenaline starting to release and looking forward to going but sad to go kicks in. We all chipped in re clear up. Billy decided we needed some karma in the camp. Girls as usual providing the muscle.
