I am pleased to announce that from 1st May 2016, RCT District has a new, permanent District Commissioner. Richard Flowerdew has agreed to take on the role and I know that you will all welcome this news.

Richard is passionate about furthering the success of Scouting in RCT District and I know that he will do all that he can to bring continuity and support to the Groups in the District. My thanks and congratulations go to Richard along with my best wishes.

Caitlin came home last night to spend an evening with her Mammy (well see Tilly actually I think 😜) but I let her down badly. After tea we sat down to watch telly and 5 minutes in to the programme I was asleep. But I did have a genuine excuse. Camp with 8-10 year olds. ☹☹☹

My previous night. All in sleeping bags my 11.30pm (that’s good). 12 midnight. Two boys come down one is homesick love him. Settled him. Half hour later same two are back again. Then another one wants a water bottle filled. One of the first two come back to use the toilet FOUR times during the night. Another boy for the toilet then he returned 10 mins later to tell me there’s a rude word written on his bed aarrrgggg! By this time it’s 5am. Attempted to light the Aga for breakfast (unsuccessfully call myself a cub leader 🙁) oh I’d also been up 3 times to tell them to be quiet that was about 4am.

And then Scout Leader is knocking the door at 7.15 because it’s time to get up 😳.

Here are some links to to photographs of the surfing: part 1, part 2 and part 3.

Practicing surfing on dry land.

Surfing at last.
