Tuesday seems to have lasted a long time for the leaders – we were up at 6:30 for an early morning swim at the beach just a short run away and have been busy ever since.
A shift from the usual greasy breakfast to a healthier (and crucially faster) continental one saw us chopping up pineapples and grapefruits before the scouts had even woken up!
We were quick to get off site so that we could maximize time at Woodlands Leisure park – like a theme park but predominantly with slides rather than rollercoasters. The scouts were soon crashing into eachother in bumper-boats, sliding down waterslides in dinghys, and shooting eachother with foam balls.
Sadly the owl display was cancelled because of the poor weather, but that just meant that the scouts had even more free time to buy ice cream and slush puppies!
We finished off the park experience with a patrol competition on the Commando Assault Course, with the scouts happy to push the little boys and girls out of the way in order to get round as fast as possible on the cargo nets and balancing beams!
Curry on site was followed by a screening of Scout Camp the movie (which went straight to DVD for some reason?!)
Tomorrow should be a more relaxed day on site, with the leaders looking for any reason to set the scouts the ‘Traditional Birthday Challenge’! 🙂
