Lets get these names sorted

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between John and Skip so perhaps Scouts should decide.


What about   New Skip and Old Skip?
or                  General Skip and Brigadier Skip?
or                  John Skip and Malcolm Skip?

Scouts it's up to you to decide what to call us.

Skip Major's been buying crepe paper

After a busy morning messy tent erecting with Skip Minor, Skip Major spent his last afternoon on Planet Normal (until 10th August at least) purchasing some florescent tent pegs so that Skip Minor can find his way back from the Scout & Compass (the orienteering tent), some fairy lights so that the guides next door feel at home and some multi-coloured crepe paper to ensure that everyone has a grass skirt for the carnival.

One day to go

John and Skip have been working hard erecting our Mess Tents and sorting out equipment.

 

Scouts task tomorrow is to arrive and erect your own tents!

 

Just arrived
