Zippy's Nights Away Record
Wednesday, 29 June 2011
24th to 26th June 2011, Scoutabout 2011.
J-W's mum was meant to be with us at Scoutabout, but J-W's dad was ill and so Maddy stayed to make sure the dog was looked after ok.

We had to travel down with the Shalford Scouts, and then we were camping with the rest of the Guildford East District. J-W was a bit upset as we were on a different zone to normal and the loos were a way a way. This was no problem to me, and it means it should have been quieter overnight.

The scouts did not go to sleep until somewhere after one and were awake at four. Some of the Shalford lot got put on washing up for being noisy.

We saw scouts who we have backpacked with, and been to Switzerland with. Also we found the Jamboree Units, who were camping away from the 4.5 thousand Scouts and Guides. I saw some of the other IST. Jo made me a new woggle. We were working with the Archery team from 3rd Morsley again. We were joined by two other archery leaders, so we were able to get a bit of time off, and had no trouble going for breaks. J-W did the instruction for most of the lefties and the disabled kids. Some how it got foggy overnight, and the activity area disappeared. We still had to do the Sunday morning activities. The instructors on the climbing tower were using water pistols to stay cool and have fun.


2 nights away, making 130 nights away.
