Cheers drive couldn’t keep up the pace, as for Yer Tizz it was a case of Yer Tisn’t and Gert Lush just just went Gert Slush come the end. Alright me Babbers however, trounced through to win the most prestigious competition going. They were awarded with the most prestigious prize going… We trudged through mud and high water to get those… the lengths we go too…
Fastnet, fair to middling. Fitzroy, squally with heavy mist. Shannon, good becoming poor.
As for Dogger, moderate to good. Congratulations all those boys who managed to actually keep a tidy tent all week and win the most presitigious competition going. Where on earth did they put all the mess one wonders. But then, being boys they probably didn’t create any dirty clothes by simply keeping the same ones on each day, therefore negleting the need to actually open kit bags and create a mess.
They win the most prestigious prize ever, flown in from half way round the world… The lengths we go to…
See you on camp in Swansea! The wettest Summer term ever is over and done, we are now heading for the sunniest summer camp we’ve ever had. Hang on, it’s Wales. I’ll re-phrase, we’re heading for a continuation of the wettest programme ever. If you want or have lost the letters that Dan has sent / given you, then look on the website for another copy.
For those not summer camping (shame on you) then the return in September is:
Friday 12th September 2008
- normal time, smart uniform (bring a packet of Fruit Pastilles)
It is now too late for London, we’re booking things this week and cannot guarantee getting you in after this.
Bivouacking happened last weekend. Fantastic fun! As described on the website the Scouts challenge was to build them – the leaders was to cause as much chaos as possible, whilst still maintaining a steady hand for holding a cup of tea! Everyone stayed dry though, thanks more to the lack of rain than shelter building skills.
Very little blogging now until Swansea time, that’s a whole 4 weeks away! If we find a computer on the other side of the world I might fill you in – till then – peaceful holidays and see you for a new term in the Autumn!
It nearly that time of year again for the Summer Programme this time of 2008 to be let loose to the unexpected. I was hoping to get a copy on the website by a few days ago. I clearly didn’t, will try reeeally hard to do it tomorrow, so if anyone out there really is after a sneaky peak then tomorrow night will hopefully keep you fulfilled…
Keep your fingers crossed – but there is a lot coming!
A bevvy of leaders spent their Saturday (a pleasantly sunny one in January) scouring the country for an ideal summer camp location. In reality they drove to one site and decided it was more than ample for the place itself and it’s location with surrounding activities.The photo whets your appetite, a tasty morsel for what’s in-store. Before we tell you where it is – a few clues, we have been there before, although no current Scouts went… it was remarkably wet on a couple of the days… they have a superb assault course… full details will launched soon leave a message in the guestbook if you think you know the exact whereabouts of our Summer Camp 2008 destination…
