10am - The Jolly Roger is raised over Boyd Field
Right let's stop standing around talking about it ...
11 Patrol Tents, a mess tent ...
I think we'll stand around talking a bit more
or have a nice cup of tea
Non stop tent pitching for 4 hours
Isn't it great without the cubs ;o)
The calm before the arrival of 48 Cub Scouts
Handing out the Cannon Balls
Fire a warning shot across their bow
or just throw the cannon balls
before it got far too hot
Meanwhile on the rifle range ...
to see who's the crack shot
Rope Ladder Making or is it rigging?
You want us to climb our ladder!?
whilst the cannon battle rages
the galley crew prepare lunch
Catering for 70 people isn't easy
With 2 rafts to make the Leaders Crew had their work cut out
meanwhile, some cubs tried to get out washing up
and still they built the rafts!
lashings and lashings of rope
Filling time whilst rafts are built
Splitting into groups for rafts and crafts
Delight as Akela answers the tough questions
Are these The Real Akela?
washing up to be done (AGAIN!)
Kaa points the way to the washing up bowls
Thanks & Bye to the cook team!
cook team depart before they get soaked
Creating designs to be ironed onto a T-Shirt
Awards for best tent is announced
Best tent members collect their prizes
Takes a while to hand them out
a nice pirate hat and a cutlass
and a few more words of thanks to both of them
Awarding of the Best Cub in Camp
With a red cap and a smile
A round of applause for the leaders!
and Won-tolla without who none of this would have taken place
Parents arrive to take their little pirates home
a last look into the treasure chest reveals chocolate gold!
And then there was just the last bits to tidy up ...
