Apologies for the lack of a summer camp blog. The site had no mobile signal and there were no hotspots locally. Â Hopefully you kept an eye on our Storify page that we’ve just updated again. Instagram pics uploaded occasionally when the wind changed and our phones got a bit of connection, here it is if you missed it (photos and videos to follow during the week):

So we come downstairs and breakfast is laid out for us…
Muesli, cocopops or gold nugget thingimies
Nuttella, jam. Butter, honey or two types of cheese
Milk (fresh, not uht) choco milk, orange juice and bottled water
Fresh crusty bread
Espresso, normal coffee, tea and hot chocolate
Perfect for a chilly day in Bruges but first we will pop up to the In Flanders Field museum
There’s been plenty of work happening at the scout hut this summer. Here’s a taste of some of it.Â
After all the build up, the hammocks were a great success. Now we just have to plan to use them again.
And we left nothing but the marks where we had pitched our tents.
We’ve been counting every night away for every member of The Fifth since they joined, Our beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers have completed a magnificent 2,869 Nights Away between them. This Summer Camp, we’ve been able to give out a big batch of badges this summer to scouts and young leaders who’ve earned them.
