Enjoy the Games!

  1. Hello! Your blog sounds great! I love books so it was a welcome addition to the blogs I read. I saw that you're a scout leader and wondered if you were going to Essex Jamboree?! Anyways I look forward to reading more of your posts! :D

    1. xD I am a Scout Leader, but I'm not going to Essex Jamboree :(, it's a nightmare trying to convince the Leader in charge to take the scouts camping anywhere... and I still need to get my nights away certificate. Would love to go though :P

    2. You'll just have to get your license or whatever it is that you need to take the scouts away and take them yourself in 4 years time! :P I never went as a guide because my Guider didn't like big camps, just liked to do her own ones (which were always really good) it's only since i've joined rangers that I've been! :)

    3. It shouldn't take too long to get it. I'm on a training weekend in October, and you're supposed to get your woodbadge, ie have done all the training modules, within 5 years of starting it, and I got my appointment aged 17, so I've got another 3 and a half years still :) It would be so so much fun to take them though.
