cub camp 2012



Flag-raising ceremony on Saturday morning

Pitching tents. Running around in the birch woods. Firelighting and toasting marshmallows. Go-Kart racing. Riding the zipwire. Following a blindfold trail. Laying tracks for other cubs to follow. Frying bacon for breakfast. Owls hooting in the frosty, starry night. Games of rounders and hide and seek. Campfire songs with the scouts. Crate stacking. Sunny Saturday. Woodpeckers drilling and squirrels squirreling. Dawn chorus. Laughing, cheering cubs. Tired, tearful, homesick cubs. Cuddles, hot chocolate and comforting hotties. Tent inspection. Lost wellies and wet socks. Sausages, fish fingers, pasta, beans, peas, ice cream and jelly. Noisy games, quiet chats. Can't wait till the next one!
