After a day of rainfall and a lot of coursing at our past selves for thinking “What I wouldn’t give for some Irish weather to escape the heat”, the sun unapologetically reared its blazing self proud on Friday morning. However in true course, it rained….. Again…
It however cleared up for a nice afternoon lunch and light shopping for the Scouts who were taken around Covent Garden for a couple of hours by Rovers before meeting again at the Science Museum for a seriously amazing flurry of well, “funducation”. There were exhibits and interactive displays, models of rockets and other incredible methods of travel. There was even a way to experience what it was like to do simple tasks on the Moon. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this.
After a nicely warm tube and bus journey back to site the Scouts were given massively filling and delicious mince meat and spuds, cooked by our every own Enda. Gilwell 24 started later that evening for the Ventures, as for the Scouts they went to sleep fairly fast after a long and interesting day.
