I dropped by to visit the explorers while they were setting up their hammocks for the night
I popped by the hut and found these two hard at work
well-earned cuppa
Each of those lamps would cost 120 quid new and we have 13 of them.
So it’s well worth getting them working again.
How about some facts and figures? Camping is the best thing that we do in scouts and we recognise that with badges for the young people as they move through the sections.
That’s nearly 7 years away.
Between the cubs scouts and explorers:
and a sleepover is planned in July so that will round up the rest of them

And every single one of these has been run by our 100% volunteer team of leaders
The scouts brought their props and they’re making their videos.
and we even managed to show them their videos before they went home
The Fifth have started buying hammocks and tarps for the Scouts Summer Camp.
We hit a major stumbling block when we found out the price of tarpaulins (the sheet that goes over the top like a tent) but after alot of hunting and emailing, we found a supplier who has provided us with all the tarps that we need at a fraction of the cost. They’re ‘seconds’ so they are slightly discoloured but at a discount of more than 60%, I think that we can put up with that! (we’re saving over £1,000)
We can’t wait to try them out, the explorers are hoping to give them a trial run this Friday and then the scouts will be let loose with them in the Summer.
The pictures below are from our suppliers at DD Hammocks.
So we set each patrol the challenge of storyboarding a video tonight. Next week they will film them . Each patrol had a leader with them to offer guidance.

Chris keeping his team focussed
Nick with his patrol... they had to rework their original idea that contained rather challenging.themes that would prob get a bbfc rating beyond their years.
Louis' mini spielbergs cooking up some silver screen brilliance
Adrian sits back and lets Louise take charge.
Robert's patrol finishing off their storyboard
the British waterways man turned up at 9.30 but some divvie boaters (not us)Â and poor water levels meant that we took a while to get through the locks. Lots of cruising to do today.
the captain's view
lazy days
always time for a handpresso coffee
and on we cruise
washing up after breakfast
buying candy floss from a boat
jubilee cakes
jubilee boat moored up
we escaped the rain into the pub.
and player some bar games
and now we are in stoke bruerne, moored up for the night. We got stopped by British waterways trying to save water in the locks.
