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’
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.
The 8 who braved the rain made it back by 9.30. Nobody got lost and the incidents were all completed painlessly. Congratulations to Maddie, imy, jack and Sammy who were the winning team.
not winners
winners!
Here they are before they set off
What they be like in 2 hrs?
the leaders just before they set off to their bases
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)
Gina is given her badge and certificate
James Allen shakes Caitlin’s hand, they were all given a Life Guard hat too.
Thanks to Joe and Grace who played the part of casualties for the test and competition today.
Scouts from across the borough took part in the course that was held at Downham Leisure Centre
The Bothamley Cup and the Life Guard Hats, the winner was a lad called Matt from another troop.
It’s morning the floor of the tent is under water, so sitting in deck chairs works, staying awake is still a challenge but if you fall off the chair into a puddle it wakes you up
And a ride on the fun fair
Followed by a hot chocolate
