wednesday activities - again computer crashed !

just typed loads about yesterday and the computer crashed - so here goes again ! Scouts were in the Global Zone mostly under cover as it rained all morning and most of the night - no major disasters with the rain - a few puddles in the tents - one unfortunate Group on Camelot lost their mess tent in the rain - so we checked and double checked all our guy ropes. Waterproofs took time to emerge - many claiming not to be able to find them - 'Mum didn't pack one' funnily enough they all found them when I offered my spare turquoise or bright orange one. lots to do in Global crafts such as friendship bracelets, god's eyes (??) little woolly men things (Jess's description not mine) wicker weaving, bell ringing, shelter box, sign language demo, and water conservation. Explorers were in the energy zone for the afternoon, having spent the morning in skills skinning and preparing rabbits, wood pigeons etc - did I tell you they cooked tea Tues night - pasta bolognese - we all lived to tell the tale - very good it was too - don't let them tell you anymore they can't cook ! we even had garlic bread - the Leaders appreciated a night off. Energy zone was foamed up for the explorers they had a fab time. Wed tea was another treat - fish and chips, followed by rhubarb crumble and custard served up for us in the International tent - we pre ordered it seemed like a good idea and it was excellent. Evening entertainment was a live band - right up David's (our resident musician) street, we listened from camp they were quite good and an improvement on the robbie looky not soundy likey last Saturday.
Today the Scouts have been looking forward to all week - urban zone - go carts, catapults, bmx bikes, mountain bikes, skate boarding, assault course and more - they didn't want to leave - even I had a go on the go carts (the pedal type) ably assisted by the leader running it ! - Andy did the mountain bike course - tried to beat Dom's time (53 sec) and has now taken to his bed totally jiggered - but is on the board as the fastest leader so far ! who said Leaders weren't competitive ?
They have gone off for their afternoon activity zone - power shooting etc - better go and see how they are getting on they left early so they were first in the queue !

more later ....................
