I like the soldiers

I was very happy I like the smelly pony, I like the shop
My favourite part was the camels because they had humps, and
the butterflies, and the snacks
I like the penguins, and the bugs, I like the shop
I like the giraffes,
When I went to the Zoo I liked the penguins and they did a
show
I like the otters best, I like the shop, I bought an
elephant for my mum

My favourite part of Beavers is standing in a circle
I like playing at Beavers because it is fun
I went to London Zoo and my favourite part was the giraffe

Scouting
Sunrise - August 1st 2007 |
The first
thing we did was very fun. Actually all of it was fun
and I carried the flag.
(S, Beaver aged 7).
On the 1st August I went to Box Hill for the
Scouting Sunrise. There were about four other groups there.
1st Dorking (which is one of the oldest scout groups in the
world and was opened by Baden-Powell himself) were leading
the Sunrise. We started by renewing our promises and the
Cubs did the Grand Howl. We were lucky enough for one
of the groups to have a kudu horn to blow! A leader
from 1st Dorking read out the last letter that Baden-Powell
wrote to the scouts before he died. There were then a
few investitures then the Scouting Sunrise finished and some
photographs were taken.
I am really proud of myself and I'm sure everyone else
around the world are too because this is a once in a
lifetime experience and one that I'll probably never forget.

Summer Camp Memories |
As an older scout, my first memories of summer camp 07,
are the long climb up to the top of Glastonbury Tor,
(521ft above sea level) oxygen requirements were not for
altitude sickness at this height, but to regain composure
at the top. The view was stunning, the air clear as the
mist cleared, it was about 07:45, on the centenary of
scouting. we could see for miles, although a spaced out
hippy type there could probably see further! (no that was
not Dave!) the air was so still for this occasion, that we
could see the incense smoke rise slowly as well as smell
the fragrance, at 8am we renewed our promises as did so
many world wide, and we enjoyed a photo shoot to prove our
attendance.
This great event was a special occasion to the cubs and
scouts as well as to the leaders, we all left our tents at
an un earthly hour that morning, with no complaints or
moans, to start the day with ceremony, then the McDonalds
breakfast and then off to Wookey hole for the day, Summer
camp was special this year, regardless of some rain,
enjoyed by all, much fun but no Deer this year, the week
rolled along nicely.

County Night Hike, Bentley Copse |
3 teams took part in the night hike ,
over all it was really good, really cold, but really fun,.
Even though we got hopelessly lost and our map reading
skills went out of the window, the moment we set off it was
a very interesting experience and I learnt a lot of lessons

Dry Slope Skiing, Sandown |
We went skiing , it was my first time, I
kept falling over, I started on the beginners slopes but
after a while me and Eddie ( leader ) went on to the big
slope. I liked it and will go again.
