Saturday‚
The Scouts and Guides arrived safely on Saturday after an 11 hour journey!
The Camp was setup quickly and everyone got settled in.
The Opening ceremnoy was held with all members of the camp taking part. This was followed by a welcome meeting in the Big tent with lots of singing and each country giving a short presentation about where they come from.
Long into the evening everyone was meeting new friends and getting to knopw their new neighbours.
Sunday
After the first night on camp, we had breakfast and then went to the morning meeting that once again had music from Nicka nd Emma Piers.
In the afternoon there ere lots of activities around the site including a dance training session, some entertainers and some candy floss.
We will try and upload some photos as soon as we can.
Keep checking‚ back often to see what we’re up to.
Following on from the great time we had last year, the group once again held a Barbeque to celebrate the end of the Scouting year.
All the Sections joined in with many parents and friends coming along as well. In addition to the great food, excellently prepared by the Explorer Scout Unit, the Group Scout Leader presented the annual review whilst the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts explored the beach and found out about some of the Medways history.
Due to a mix up with the interpretation of the tide tables, no games were played but a good time was had talking and playing by the river.
The Beavers and Cubs are now finished for the Summer break but the Scouts and Explorers will meet next Monday for their last meeting before their Summer camp in the Netherlands.
A copy of the Annual Review will be posted here very soon. For now, be sure to click on the picture above to see more pictures from the evening
This Monday, the group will be holding it’s second annual Beach Barbeque on the beach at Lower Upnor. We will also be holding the AGM so you’ll be able to eat and find out what we’ve been doing for the last year.
We’ll be starting at 6.45 and finishing around 8.30. If the weather is bad, we’ll have to move everything back to the hall so if in doubt, check with your section leader on the day.
