31st July

Earth 2 table day, this consisted of making nearly all our own food, drink and afters from scratch.
There was sausages, fish and some liverpaste thingy!
There was also a marmalade, ketchup, rice pudding, nettle soup and bread.
We also made our own ovens and cooking equipment (well some of them).
Some scouts even did some sheepskin tanning, the purpose of this we find out next week.
Everybody is enjoying themselves with no problems.
All are looking forward to next week.

30th July - Hike Day 2

The leaders meet the scouts in Augustenborg for lunch, then we all hiked back to the camp about 10km or 6 miles. All are in good spirits and each patrol slept somewhere different the night before, two under bivvy's and one in a farmers barn.

Tonight we relax after the hiking and maybe swim in the sea (who said camping was hard!!).

29th July - Hike Day 1

Not a lot to report on today, everyone slept well and I mean everyone. After breakfast the scouts packed their rucksacks for a two day hike.
After the briefing and lunch they were gone.

Monday 28th July - save on air fare home!!!

Once again 7.30 came and all were still asleep except the same culprit.

The morning started off with breakfast and the flag being raised.

After we had a game and cleaned up our sites we built some rafts from what wecould find in the forest.

When we had finished we took them to the sea to gain our freedom.

Our second trip to the sea of the day resulted in 6 rafts sinking almost without a trace.

Just having dinner then later on maybe a campfire. Tomorrow we go on a hike.

Opening Ceremony

Today, somehow, no Scout was up before 7:30, apart from Thomas Blunden!

We had our opening ceremony with the flags being raised.

The rest of the extremely hot day we built our dining areas, finished off our campsites and most of us swam in the sea.

Tonight we have a campfire and a special event.

Having fun, hope you are all reading this to keep up with us!

Off they go

Well what an early morning start we had, up and going before the sun today. Everyone was on time sort of!! but the main thing is that everyone was there in time for the coach. It was nice to see Jill and Steve there to wave everyone off especially as they were not there to say goodbye to anyone. Mark Beerling was of course the only one there to say goodbye to his parents, Sue & Malcolm are you sure your house will still be there when you get back!!

Martin Squirrell got several birthday wishes (pinches, punches etc) from other scouts with the promise of many more to come on this very long day, and we all know scouts keep their promises. Happy 14th Birthday Martin.

So off to sunny Denmark, dont forget to check back regularly for updates we hope to try and post something everyday although tommorrows one wont be updated on he site until late.
