sorry Jess just arrived to get her money out of the bank so blog interrupted ! too tired to blog last night so will bring you up to speed from yesterday
Explorers were off site for the day for a CSI experience - didn't quite happen for our guys as the numbers were too large but they did have alternatives - low ropes - driving school - yes real cars (with an instructor - don't think they got out of 1st gear ) there was an opportunity to wallow in mud but they chose not to !
Cubs had a morning on the activity field and Scouts had a challenge morning - the challenge for some of them seemingly actually finding the activity ! Our visitors arrived Dave & Marjorie our Hon president and his wife just in time for lunch. After lunch we all assembled in the main arena and watched a jousting tournament with the Knights of middle England. followed by a record breaking attempt at Wobble boarding - the previous record 666 held by West Wirral District - providing it is verified the record was broken at 2881 wobble boarding to 'tie me kangaroo down'
The cubs finished packing - the Scouts took their tents down and we said goodbye as they headed for home after a fantastic weekend at their first International camp.
tea was corned beef hash - beans, peas or sweetcorn followed by pie and custard
last night was a neon night - all the scouts made a fantastic effort - will upload the pic later - they looked fab - they ran a version of Saturday night takeaway - we managed to get five on stage at various Kayleigh, Dom, Will and Liam and Nathan - 4 winners at play your cards right (higher higher, lower etc) Dom and Will got goody bags Liam chose a lifesize cardboard cut out of the stig !!!!!!!!!!! and Nathan won a phone !! yes a real one
the disco continued till gone 11 - we stayed on camp and joined in yes it was that loud ! scouts came back hot chocolate and swiss roll for supper (almost a midnight feast) - then off to bed
signing off for now - Scouts had to be woken this morning - some would still be there I think ! Explorers off site again - their water activity day - more later coffee has arrived
cheers
