POLAND

Posted by leader on August 9, 2011

So jamboree is done and dusted!!! The closing ceremony was great despite the rain, with a speech by the king, fireworks and a Europe set. Everyone pitched in to clear up our camp and get the tents down (in the rain :-( ) and most managed to get an alright nights sleep on the overnight ferry. After a five hour coach journey we arrived in mrzezyno, at a camp in a forest clearing right next to a beautiful beach

The weather is proving a mixed bag, with lots of showers, but the ex-army frame tents are a bit of a novelty (even if I am now the proud owner of a soaking wet sleeping bag) and we are just waiting for lunch, which is a three course affair in Poland :-D

This morning the scouts watched the polish flag ceremony and the lost property forfeits followed-Tom Briggs had to run around the campsite like a monkey because he dropped a pin badge! After that they did a treasure hunt around the local town. This afternoon we are taking part in a ‘camp wedding’ party, which I think involves making some bright clothes and then having a party, but there’s a fair bit of a language barrier so anything could happen!

Parents get the washing powder in; you’ll have your work cut out when we get back!

    I almost forgot- we gave the guys their passport for two hours after we left the jambo site. Tom Briggs managed to leave his passport on the coach so we had to have it couriered back to the ferry port,and then ran into the sea up to his knees before we reminded him his passport was zipped in his trouser pocket.
