On my last day on Camp 2010 it’s been decided that I should post today’s blog, so here it goes…..
Not looking forward to the trip home but I’m sure Sarah-Jane and I will manage the journey together. I hear from home that the weather is shocking but here, yet again, it’s been another nice day. Highs of 24 and you’d know it!!
Last night we entertained a local scout group with a BBQ for about 60 people with plenty of meat, salads and fizzy pop. They subsequently entertained us with a campfire were our scouts and scouters learned some new songs for the future.
Today:
Our Rovers headed off at the crack of dawn (well 8.30am, & when you’re 18-20 that is the crack of dawn) and made a day trip to Cardiff for themselves.
Our Discovery Scouts along with a local scout troup from a nearby town headed off to a beach for the afternoon and had one hell of a time. Activities included building sand castles, taking a dip in the sea, badminton and other beach adventures.
Our Explorer Scouts headed back into Swansea and took a tour around the National Waterfront Museum followed by an inter-patrol bowling competition – the bowling was in a bowling alley and not in the museum as you may think!
All very positive reports for all three groups.
Dinner and the clean up is not long over for the evening and we’ve just had a rain shower. The first rounders game of camp 2010 is about to take place so must head down and ensure fair play!
As Sarah Jane and I head off about 11pm we’d like to thank all our fellow leaders and more importantly all the scouts for making this an excellent week.
Pictures of today’s activities will follow soon (I haven’t done the course on posting them yet!)
