Camp with the Franconville Scouts - Day 5 - Thurs 13th August

• New air-conditioned toilet facilities were commissioned for the male campers, with ensuite hand wash. Coupled with the 'power shower' hoses just up the lane at the local water mill - what more could you want ?
• Lunch was prepared by the French leaders - Croque Monsieur.
• The Patrols were to be back at 4.30pm or soon after. The first team arrived just before 4.30pm and waited to enter the campsite. The girls arrived next, followed by the second boys team.
• The dinner was a special dish- Tartiflette - served in the Alps to hungry skiers, this was designed to fill up the hikers and help them to sleep. It consisted of onions, potatoes, pancetta, creme fraiche and reblochon cheese.
• The Patrols prepared presentations of their experiences on the 'exploration' and delivered these to the audience around the fires.
• The Cuffley Scouts performed a couple of camp fire stunts (not to be outdone!)
