#BensGreenFieldCamp #ScoutingUK
A day of pioneering and knife skills.
Assessor has been round and found everything to be generally ok.
Scouts are saying this is the best camp they’ve been on - one would be happier with toilets, one would be happier with there being more trees.
Hoping for a warmer night tonight and for it to stay dry until after we pack up.
Very jealous of my kids are who going to Poacher International Jamboree in Lincolnshire this summer - the (newly released) list of activities looks immense!

(Am there as a leader but don't think I'll have as much fun as the young people!!)

Tents up, toilets dug, fire got hit enough to make hot chocolate and tea.
Sent the Scouts to bed at 23:00 and they seem to have gone to sleep in record time!
Tonight our Scouts played Finnish game Mölkky.
But first they had to make the playing pieces. So some bow sawing was needed to start with, and tutoring on their use as required. Basically most of them.
Old wooden tent poles were sawn & their edges sanded after being measured.
This took the larger part of the Meeting. Then they started playing.
As a new game to everyone it took a while to get into, but by the end they were really into it.
