Complaint

I regret to say that we have received an official complaint from a Guide Leader at  Campdowne.
 
''Dear Scout Leaders, 
 
I am horrified at your treatment of one of our 'Welly Sticks'.  Kidnapping him and forcing him to accompany you to London for  your own sordid amusement is 'DISGUSTING'. I cannot imagine the horrors he must have been subject to.
 
Welly Sticks have only one purpose in life which is to support our girls Wellington Boots when it is not raining.  Please see attached photograph.

 
On another matter I have noted that some Guides were fraternising with Scouts and actually enjoying themselves.  You know full well that Guides are not at Campdowne to have a good time, and are not allowed out after 9.00pm.  If I find that Scouts have been enticing Guides on to Scout sites, I will report you to Bear Grylls!
 
Frustratingly yours
 
Hillary Herstmonceux, Very Senior Guide Captain''
 
As 'Older Skip', I take these matters very seriously and have dealt with the situation in the 'appropriate' manner.  Unfortunately the letter did not go down on first flush so I poked it with a 'Welly Stick'!
