Camp with the Franconville Scouts - Day 4 - Weds 12th August

• The Leaders prepared breakfast while the scouts got ready for the 'exploration'.
• After breakfast, the Scouts presented the kits they were to carry to the leaders for inspection. The leaders were checking the weight and contents to make sure they were manageable.
• The older scouts then departed on their overnight adventure and the young-ones and the poor old English leaders left on a special mission!
• They explored part of Argentan, a town nearby, and Putanges-pont-Ecripes the closest (small) town to the campsite. Here we bumped into the girls having their lunch.
• On returning to the site, the younger scouts took to the river, again.
• Skip and Diane went out to check on the girls team at their overnight destination with the French Leaders. Peter remained with the younger scouts to barbecue their evening meal and bake potatoes.
• The evening closed with songs around the fire and a summary of the day.
