Notice: Change of plan for tonight

Tonight at 8pm we had planned 'Pickle your noggin'
However, something else amazing is happening tonight at 8.22pm UK time.

NASA and Space X will be re-attempting their launch of their Falcon 9 rocket!
Lifting off from Launch Pad 39A atop a specially instrumented Falcon 9 rocket, Crew Dragon will accelerate its two passengers to approximately 17,000 mph and put it on an intercept course with the International Space Station.

Seeing the fantastic creations you have made with the Balloon Rockets this afternoon, this is not something we can miss!
We are going to cancel the Quiz and suggest everybody has a look at the launch, it's a historical moment.

The launch can be viewed live on may sites, below are a few:
https://www.nasa.gov/content/live-launch-america-nasas-spacex-demo-2-mission-to-the-international-space-station
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg

At around 8.35pm and 10.22pm the rocket can be seen in the sky coming from West to East (later will be easier in the darker sky) - who can spot it????

We hope you are all not too disappointed and will enjoy the extra special activity NASA has prepared for us:)

21:00

Bedtime Story!

A couple of stories from Aunty Gwen to help you get to sleep

Breakfast Time!

Morning Campers, hope you slept well.

We’ve got a choice of pancakes or Eggy Bread for you this morning.

Oh, by the way, you have to cook it yourself. What will you go for?

Pancakes: https://youtu.be/7PRW2c7XiU0

Eggy Bread: https://youtu.be/wVtO0fM4t4M

10:00

Scouts Own!

 

A bit of time for reflection and, especially as we can’t be together in person, time to think about things in these unusual times. Led by Reverend Barry Hughes:

 

 

10:30

Scavenger Hunt!

Right, the weather is great (at least where we are) and it’s time to get out and about and go hunting!

Some will be in your home, but for others you may have to get out on your “Boris Walk” (sorry if you’re not in the UK!) and find us some things!

Here’s your list: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JvpBGnHgq0Bqv-NslPgHBRnczTddJdOj/view?usp=sharing

share your best finds with us on social media!

12:00

Lunch Time Again!

For lunch today we thought we would set you another challenge. Get thinking!

https://youtu.be/C2w5cpG5fLI

Challenge yourself to see how many you can do!

Beavers - can you manage 2 in a minute?

15:30

Fire Lighting!

No camp would be complete without having a go at lighting a fire.

So have a watch of the video below which shows you a variety of ways to get a fire going and, if you are able to do so, go give it a try.

Please stay safe and make sure you are supervised appropriately (and we aren’t just talking about the kids!)

Closing words!

Well that’s it folks. We hope you enjoyed yourselves – we certainly did! Here are a few words from Andrew Sharkey, Chief Commissioner of Scotland, Alasdair Garbett our District Commissioner, and some extra info... :  https://youtu.be/6noZU358Xsc

To help you out with awarding badges we have put together a breakdown for each section.

This is only a guide, and Young People may have covered more or less (depending on what they have done over the weekend). Remember, have a chat with your leader, show them some evidence of what you got up to, and it’ll all count!
