We spent most of the day off site at Edinburgh Zoo🦒
The Patrol Leaders asked just a couple of times to go shopping in Edinburgh, so on the way back to Bonaly the Patrol Leaders and Assistants made a quick stop at the Gyle Shopping Centre. Some of the leaders got very excited by the largest M&S they had ever seen!
Back on site, dinner was cooked. The Scouts moving on to Explorers next term were invited to the Explorer site for a formal dinner.
The evening was spent at the campfire, thanks to Explorer, Darcy for leading the campfire and well done to all the young people that stood up and led different parts of the campfire. ... See MoreSee Less
Biggest activity day of the week with GoApe in the afternoon and Paddlesports in the evening.
The morning started with inspection as usual. Patrols then received the Fire and Ice challenge rewards.
Then we loaded up the buses and headed for GoApe at Delkeith. Once we were all down out the trees we did a hike around the estate.
Then we were on the road again to Queensferry to do some paddle sports. By the time the paddle sports had finished at 8.30, everyone was more than ready for dinner! ... See MoreSee Less
Tuesday started off with the “Big Breakfast Challenge” to cook a full breakfast and serve the entire patrol at the same time - not easy when cooking over open fire!
We then had some patrol competitions followed by the traditional summer camp Fire and Ice challenge. Each patrol has a key frozen in ice, the challenge is to melt the ice as quickly as possible using fire. The key unlocks the cool box full of ice lollies🍦
Well done Yellow patrol for winning Fire and Ice this year!!
Dinner was another longstanding 28th tradition… poachers pot!!
We also marked chef Alex’ 60th birthday in the exact same place we celebrated his birthday in 2022🎈
After dinner there was a mystery trip out of camp, the busses erupted with cheers once the Scouts realised we had pulled into the car park for the bowling 😆 ... See MoreSee Less
It’s been a busy couple of days on camp! 8 patrols have built their sites, all with a gateway each and many gadgets to make things easier for their week on camp.
Yesterday the Scouts cooked 3 VERY tasty meals over fire, put up the giant camp chair, and learned how to safely prepare fire wood and use knives.
The first inspection took place yesterday and it’s shaping up to be a very tough competition for the week ahead.
The fog lifted overnight, as today we hiked up Arthur’s seat and spent some time on the Royal Mile. Photos to follow. ... See MoreSee Less
