During the summer of 2007 members of our local Explorer Unit went to Canada to camp with some Canadian Scouts. This year marks the return visit by the Canadians. This camp will have been in preparation for 12 months when it actually happens.
Last year I was asked if I could help out arranging the camp and I said yes. So last night we met and were discussing where we are at the moment. There are about 20+ Canadians coming over in the summer and we have one of our local camp sites booked and also one in London. Some transport is arranged (I’m borrowing a minibus from work) and so is the catering. The main thing to do is fundraising. These type of camps cost a lot as our visitors want to see a lot of attractions and we will have quite a lot of people from this side camping as well. However, plans are well advanced and money shouldn’t be an issue!
It looks like our guests and our Explorers are in for a good time.
I suspect there will be more on this subject as the year progresses. Stay tuned.
Hi, Nick!
Millions of thanks for the LOVELY badges! I’m sorry to say, that I haven’t got yours in the post yet. Been busy, busy, but at least I now got my Hubbie back from the Tanzanian wilderness, all tanned and lovely.
I should hope to get them off either tomorrow or Tuesday, anyways.
