Camp with the Franconville Scouts - Day 2 - Mon 10th August

• Breakfast was prepared by the girl scouts; one boy's team washed up. We had cereal, bread and jam, juice and milk.
• The morning was spent working around the site. The boys needed to finalise their dining areas and the central 'table' area needed covers erecting to provide shelter.
• The three Patrols (teams) cooked lunch . They were given lamb chops, cous cous, beetroot, bananas and creme caramels to prepare and serve. The Patrols invited leaders to eat with them. The creme caramels provided an extravaganza of pudding eating and there was a competition to eat 3 biscuits in one minute!
• In the afternoon, plans were made for the cooking competition that was to be held on Tuesday. Skip and Peter organised some games which everyone enjoyed (crossfire, rupture cone with water carriers, and 'Lamb')
• The scouts all went for a swim in the river, attempted to cross the monkey bridge and then showered in the temporary camp shower.
• Guillaume and Bastien made the camp oven.
• After dinner, there was a wide game based on Battleships with a fire cracker finale.
• Skip turned his 'uncle'.
• At the leaders' meeting there was a summary of positive and negative points for the day.
