wow. how come mys scouts never do that kinda stuff? Where were you at? what section are you? how much dod the weekend cost?

I can't answer the first question, but I might presume it's down to whichever individuals make decisions in their ivory towers ;)

We camped over by Ashington, not far from the A24. We're Petworth and Pulborough district. Cost £10 head, and an awful lot of very helpful gamekeepers...

I've been along with my boys troop in East Sussex a few times and whilst I've been asked to teach map reading, suffered to teach fire, sharps have been a big no no, together with animals. It must be an East Sussex thing.

He high fived my lad at a Cub funday on Sunday! How chuffed was he??

Tell you what, you can say what you like about Bear, but he is absolutely brilliant with the kids.

Couldn't agree more...

He landed with us around 0930, stayed an hour or so, signed every bit of clothing on offer, and then took off for Burgess Hill and several other places, probably including your fun day...Top marks from me...

Nice post stovie
somthing to aim for methinks

Thank you.

Have washed and smoked the hide (first of two smokings) and for want of a frame to stretch it, have nailed it to the wall in the scout hut. At this rate I may not be a leader next week :yikes:

Oh well, the other section leaders are long suffering, and they kinda humour me...I can get away with anything...its the eccentricity...they never quite know what to say :D

The hide is now ceremoniously pinned to the scout hut wall...well I figure with all the wet canvas around, no one will notice :eek:

How the heck did you get BG to come along, did you have to book that really far in advance? Still waiitng for an official visit down this end of the country.
