At the Car Wash !

The sun was shining, posters were put up, Peak 107 had been rung and we were armed and ready with our sponges & buckets- everone worked well as a team and we got the job done (including a fair few vans!).
Huge thanks go out to K & B Rouse construction for the use of their site and jet wash equipment today. Many thanks go to Pete, Tony, Marg, Mark & Ash (and a bit from John too) for helping out along with Hayley, Harvey, Ella, Kieran J, Joseph, Keiran T, Matthew, Aimee, Megan, Andy, Conner & Martin.Well done we've raised a further £185.00 toward new camping equipment, silliness and fun on Peak!!!!! Thank you too to the parents who came and supported us-YOUR EFFORTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
(and I didn't get too wet either - result!)

Way Hay!!!!! What a cracking camp eh?

WELL DONE to the district for a great camp. We were blessed with the weather - I think it was the hawaiin leaders outfits that kept the rain at bay!
Loads of activities and events went on throughout the days to keep us busy and we just generally enjoyed being together and having a laugh.
What did we get up to????
* candy floss eating
* lazer quest
* drumming
* badge making
* pyrograph
* 3 legged race
* crate stacking competition
* football competition
* pit truck racing
* scouts own-EGGY BREAD STYLE!" (thanks Ella, Harv, Kieran, Andy & Martin for that laugh out loud moment)
* skateboarding
* bucking bronco
* circus skills
* tile painting
* clock making
* 100 person leap frog (which turned out to be over 140!)
* Outsinging Helios explorers at 11.30pm! (as best we could)
* raving at the scout camp fire
* watching scott and Liz look a wee bit silly on stage (well Scott certainly did)
and much more that I can't remember.

Scouts, you were amazing - THANK YOU! You helped out the cubs, did jobs around the camp, didn't cause us leaders any grief and were a delight to be with. Many of you met up with friends on camp you never knew were in scouting, and you older ones spent time with the explorers (they're not that scary really are they??). Well done to all the scouts who participated in the troop competitions too, especially Aimee for running her socks off in the pit truck race -it was such a long run for little legs!

Camp quotes included "I've been on lazer quest 16 times!" and I especially liked "ooooo can we have a shandy??" from one of the cubs. (I am afraid I can't publish the leader ones lol)

Thanks to all the leaders who made everything run smoothly, I hope you're not as shattered as me!
