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):

The Kestrels video employed accents that many might consider inappropriate so i’ve chosen not to publish it.
Here’s our latest bunch of PLs. Ready to lead their patrols and have some fun on the way…

We popped down to Creekside Discovery Centre in Deptford on Saturday to earn the Naturalist Activity Badge.
After an introduction to the centre and its work from Natalie, our guide…
the scouts set off for some mapping of the creek.
Then we pulled on our waders to explore the creek.
We walked up the creek and back down again while Natalie taught us all about the wildlife that lived there.
We finished off with some fishing and caught a Chinese Mitten Crab and a stickleback
Now it’s just fingers crossed that the badges arrive in time to give out this week!
Thanks to Sam and Don for coming on the trip and making it happen.

We’re all members of the worldwide family of scouting – over 28 million of us in over 200 countries – and this week we took part in Jambowlree, against scouts across the globe.
By the way, Orpington Palace Superbowl were fantastic. Really helpful staff, Easter eggs for best bowler in each lane and generally brilliant at customer service. Highly recommended by us.
The results have been plugged into the website and now we’re looking forward to seeing how we’ve done. Fingers crossed….
For now, here’s how they did on the night, all with the bumper barriers up apart from our explorer/network team.
There’s a video at the bottom of the page
