Scout Camps 2008
Woodpeckers - London - May 2008

The Woodpecker Patrol's prize for coming second out of 3,500 Patrols in Challenge 100 was a weekend in London staying at Baden-Powell House.

Covent Garden with the shops and street entertainers was great - can you spot which one is the witch?

We went into Downing Street, the Prime Minister new we were coming so fled to Scotland, who can blame him.

We went to an Italian restaurant for a meal before going to the theatre to see Billy Elliott.

We travelled to London by train and moved around London by bus and tube.

We went to see the dress exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum.
Monkey Bridge and Painting - August 2008


The monkey bridge takes a long time to build but is well worth it as it provides so much fun as people struggle to stay upright as they walk across.

Fire assembly point sign,	Painting the ground anchor and its stakes does more than protect the metal from rust, it also makes it cleaner to handle and much easier to see.

Sanding down the door then painting it.		Painting cabinets - do you like the ultra expensive clothes protection?

Stapling new wire to reduce the potential for slipping when it is freezing.	Alter some hard work and play it is time to rest.
