62ndScouting

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!

All released in the last week, and these are just the camps(!):

• PL’s & APL’s Camp & Spaniorum April 2008
• Glenny Woods May 2008
• Surfing October 2008
• Summer Camp (venue to be announced very soon) 2008 

and a big one:

• London May 2009

Watch the website and your letterbox or just on a Scout Night for details and sign up forms.

 Welcome to the quieter 2008!

Many people have asked about Summer Camp dates for August 2008. Due to most of the leaders having their own holidays (are they allowed!?) the dates have been slow in coming, but here they are:

Here we go then, the dates for Summer Camp 2008:

Saturday 23rd August 2008 until Saturday 30th August 2008.

These are only proposed dates, we have not yet booked anywhere so they could change slightly (by a day or so) in the future.
