1st Sliema Scout Group Easter Camp Day 4 (The Group Day)

Here's a pic of me with Abraham, the Troop mascot. Oh, and the walrus in the middle is what we shared for lunch!

Saturday was chosen as 'The Group Day' as in a day in which all three sectional programmes merged into one day of activities. Before b'fast the Unit were out taking the cubs for PT. After B'fast work started on the construction of the Flyfox/Aerial runway while the Troop were busy preparing the obstacle course. After a lunch of burgers and chips the Group was split into four teams which took it in turn to try out the flyfox, obstacle course and several fun and silyl games organised by the cub leaders.

After the activities the Group was busy preparing for the evenings activities which included mass said by Patri Ugolin an ex-missionary and hermit who lived for 10 years in Brazil and another 20 in a cave in Pwales. We were joined for mass by the St Alloysians who were camping across the path from us and the parents of many of the Scouts, Cubs and Ventures. This was followed by a wine and pizza night and the campfire (yes a real burning one this time!!!)

The campfire was MC'd by ASL James and some of the stand out stunts included the Unit's imitation of VSLs in general & the leaders' rendition of 'Hans & Ivan' which will long be remembered as an amazing flop.
