Annual Camp Update

Just a quick update from Padge who is now safely (but unhappily) back in civilisation (still, at least I can have a cup of tea without Kieran meithering me!)

Tuesday saw the Scouts out cycling and wind surfing (although by all accounts there was more wind than surfing!), whilst Wednesday's day-trip was ice skating and swimming at Doncaster Dome. The evening activites were 'camp olympics' featuring hammer (mallet) throwing, three legged race and tennis-ball-and-spoon racing; and team manhunt. And unlike the England ashes squad, we didn't let rain stop play!

Thursday's challenge for Ben is "can we get to Alton Towers and back without losing anyone?"... so I'm sure there's be a report for Thursday and Friday once Skip and team get back at the weekend.

Yearly camp

This year the week long camp is at Walesby.
We are currently there, and so far everyone is enjoying it. There is a full range of activities, yesterday we had a dip in the pool, where GSL Ben somehow found himself taking an unscheduled swim!!!
Today the Scouts have been shooting, doing archery and are currently busy in the lake area raft building.
Tomorrow we are off to Rother Valley to have a day sailing. Wednesday we are going to the Doncaster Dome, for ice skating and swimming, then on Thursday we are going to Alton Towers for the day, Friday we stay on site for yet more activities and then home Saturday.
The weather hasn't been to bad yet and spitirts are still high.

I have now authorised Padge (assistant scout leader) to be able to post entries on here so hopefully there will soon be some photographs of the weekend.
