Kandersteg 2009
Well the last bag has been packed (no pun intended) and we will all be meeting up in about four hours time to begin Summer Camp 2009. Where are we going did you say? Well in case you've not noticed, it's KANDERSTEG!
We will try to keep the blog undated daily as best we can with a diary and photos. Your side of the bargain is keep the messages coming back to the campers.
I'm sure we'll miss you all but hopefully we'll be having too much fun to notice.

Scout's District Activity Weekend 2009
We set off at around 6pm in order to meet up with the rest of the district and pick up the trailer, which had been packed with all the kit the previous night. Then we followed everybody else on the way to Wales. 
Yes Wales which "some" people hadn't realised we were going at this point. When we arrived at the holiday camping site, most of our tents were pitched for us as well as the main eating and cooking tent thanks to a few of the leaders. As we had alot of hard work ahead of us in the following days after we had supper and some hot drinks we turned in so that we had plenty of rest and lots of energy for the next day.

Where do I begin, the annual trip to the Malvern Hills, on an action packed camp everyone enjoys. We left the scout hut at 6.00 to arrive for 7.00.

As a jolly tradition carries on, 1st Bedworth attended this years sun run. For those who don't know what it is the simplest way to explain it is a massive camp that any explorer or leader or network can attend we have music and food all based around either a 26 mile hike (Sun run) Or a 13 mile hike (Moon run) for the lazy people.
