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):

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

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…
Lizzie, Samuel, Louise, Luke, Will, Mike and another Luke
Nick gave them their badges and asked them to help us keeping the patrols on track and paying attention.
B R A V O!
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.
