We took a minute from our busy day to play with a hammock
They are insanely comfortable
Sure there was work to do but the world looks good from a hammock
You can zip yourself up inside if it rains
And pop your head out to see the world. Tomorrow we sort out the tarps. The hammocks should have a tarpaulin on top like a mini tent.
Check these out. Delivery from Ronnie sunshines. 5 skillets and 5 dutch ovens arrived today.
Camp’s a comin’
Someone didn’t eat their lunch!
Found this in lost property!
Luke Cavalli has kindly donated his bike to the Scouts.
Let’s keep the last post of the year simple.
Thank you to everybody who ran everyday adventure for our young people.
The leaders who turn out each week, who plan and who train to earn qualifications.
The people in the background who build, paint, drill, saw and help us grow.
The paperworkers who let the leaders do the fun stuff while the subs are collected, gift aid completed, accounts audited, finances recorded, waiting lists managed etc.
Thanks to the parents who trust us with their kids and who budget and save to send their kids away with us.
Finally a thank you to our beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers who make The Fifth one of the best groups in the district.
Sick of the rain. Sick sick sick of it! But we dug out the newly refurbished tilleys and had a,play with them.
Everybody now smells of paraffin. Highlights for some of the scouts seemed to be the leadercs use of the words ‘knob’ and ‘prick’. Both are perfect words in context… But they seemed to prompt giggles. Sigh.
Massive Congratulations to Caitlin and Gina who have spent the last few weeks working towards their Lifesaver Badge (click the link for details of the badge)
