There are places i remember all my life. . . .

It's strange to finally be leaving. It seems months since i was last at home. The pic is of the dead grass under my tent, or my tent's footprint. Across the site there seemed to be footprints all different shapes and sizes yet all from one huge shared experience. People have asked me if it was worth it, and the answer is yes. The experience is once in a lifetime but as with all things, they must come to an end. I hope to keep this Blog going, but on a less regular basis. Thanks to all those who read or made comments and i hope to see you all soon. Ttfn

The End. . . .

This really poor picture is the Mexican contingent on stage at the closing ceremony. The rain has stopped at we arrived and hopefully will be dry for the rest of the ceremony. Over the last 24 hours we have all been working hard to clear Trash. The site is now totally cleared! The work we put in over the first 4 days was cleared within about 8 working hours!

Oooooooops!

Day 52 on the Big Brother Campsite

I seen to have completely lost all track of days. I even tried to meet up with someone who is coming down tomorrow! Anyway, another day on Trash this time on Art which is basically making art out of Trash! Lucy, one of the white Trash girls (the organisers of Trash) is in hospital with some allergic reaction to something. Other than that, all great, hi to my regular emailers and hi to Simon who emailed me a few days ago. Catch you all soon.

The Ultimate Brown Nose Moment!

This was the point where i met the UK chief scout, Peter Duncan. He was in the middle of filming and stopped for a photo shoot for me. I did forget however to ask him for my Blue Peter badge! Anyway, yesterday was spent walking round with mat becky and the lovely beth. I had managed to swing a day off just for the occasion. The 006 unit went to splash and had a great time raft building and we saw most of Spitfire district there and half of Kinver service crew. Hi to all! A great day.

Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum

And I'm not gonna say who is which!

Special extra quote from Ben

This is a special quote from Ben as i was walking to Black Magic: Someone broke my pole! Where's gate 2. I need a new pole!

The signature necker

The Happy Clappers!

After my failure to be able to see the 007 unit do their James Bond set because they ran it early, the 006 unit had got through from their sub camp to perform on their hub. A hub is for 4 sub camps. So we waited for then to be called. Their brief was to create a number that was less than 4 mins long. The previous number must have lasted almost 10 and had started to become boring. On went 006 who performed excellently a 3 minute number which left the audience wanting more. The cheer from the 50-100 watching was huge and well deserved. Out of the explorers i've been texting about only Andrew was involved. An excellent performance! Well done all!

So Sam. What's the best thing about the Jamboree

All of it! It's all too good to name one thing!

So Louise, what's the best thing about the Jamboree?

Water fights are pretty cool and Twister with the Americans was petty cool too!

So Andrew, what's the best thing about the Jamboree?

Performing on stage tonight doing our clapping should be good.

So Jess, what's the best thing about the Jamboree?

Meeting new people.

So Ben, what's the best thing about the Jamboree?

The pillows that we was given with our sleeping bags.

Make some noise!

This is Trash Music. Ie, making music from Trash! This is what I'm working on today!

100th birthday

Today marked the 100th birthday of scouting. A ceremony took place to renew the scout promise. After which we all sighed each others neckers. The aim was to collect 100 signatures. I'm sure i've got over 150. I checked my emails, as a number of you have left comments. As for me at work see pic. I was explaining how to recycle plastic at the time. Got my phone charged, hence the reason why no recent blogs. Back to work tomorrow. Catch you soon.
