This weekend we had yet another joint camp with both Hampshire and Guernsey participants. We had 2 new Guernsey scouts come over to begin their adventure within the unit!
It was an action packed weekend with the Saturday travelling to London to undertake the Monopoly run with all the other Hampshire participants; Scouts of the Round Table, Hampshire Flappy Fish and BeKaHaBu. Each unit competed against each other and even within the unit there was competitions for the best patrol. Our unit winners were Pigs and Donkeys which scored 5510 points. It provided an opportunity for the scouts to familiarise themselves with trains as those from Guernsey don't often have that opportunity and provided an invaluable lesson to the unit - make sure you have your leaders with you as well as all your patrol.
As the day drew to a close all the units met up in Trafalgar Square, to celebrate the journey we've been on and where we're going!

The next day we had the exciting challenge of giving out the UK Contingent kit which had arrived for everyone. This took up a majority of the sunday as there was so much kit for everyone and then there was the fun of double checking that everyone had the right stuff. We also started to practice our very special entertainment which was very kindly taught by a parent.
