The scouts and explorers donned their onesies and spent the day at Keston Marshalling Bases 24&25 of the St Christopher’s Fun Walk.
Tom and George on the base
We were signing cards and giving out water as well as encouraging the walkers on their way. For some of them, we were at the 10-mile marker with only a mile to go.
Rob’s mum passed through our base and for some of us, her t-shirt reminded us why we were there.
Massive well done to everybody involved

Phil Make Fire. Phil Happy.
They wrote out invitations to their parents, they planned the meal, they chose a charity (Cancer Research UK) and they served up a Gourmet Dinner for their parents. They had it all set up and put away again in less than 3 hours – google ‘pop up dining’ to see how hip we are… next thing you know, we’ll be wearing specs with no glass in.

13 scouts and explorers jumped in the minibus down to Margate for Games Expo East Kent – GEEK 2013.
Hundreds of computer grames from the 70s to right up to the  latest releases. Pinball machines, arcade cabinets handhelds, educational machines, consoles, mobile, handheld and more.  It was all there and we had a brilliant day

As I left, they were playing a jumping challenge game and before I got there, they’d been knotting and doing something with hula hoops (i’m guessing a hula challenge).
While we’ve been enjoying our time off, John has been hard at work sanding and painting the hut. He’s done half of it.and it looks awesome.
Woe betide any child trying to scrape this paint away!
We hope that you have a very merry Christmas and here’s a little video from all the scouts and explorers from our 2012 Christmas Card:

We would not be aboe to run without the support of many people and we hope you’ll keep being as wonderful in 2013.
Postponed karaoke but still plenty of silliness and ps2 singstar is still a brilliant game.

We plucked a game from the internet (clicky for the market traders page) and ran an excellent team building and bonding session for the unit. 5 girls have joined us from guides this month and it was good to break them all down into teams to work together.
The teams had to cut paper shapes and sell them to the quality controllers.
The prices of the goods changed every 2 minutes
And the teams had to judge the right moment to sell
The B team won by a mile. They won bags of chocolates from Phil.
