The major event of the year has now occured- the troop and the explorer unit have now returned safely from summer camp in Ireland.The Scout report is under news.
All the explorers agree that Achill is an amazing place and the youth hostel next to the campsite was even more amazing.
We had thought in the interest of international peace and harmony that if the whole world was going to essex it would be better if the explorers went in the opposite direction to Ireland but found that there were people from all over the world there as well.The units secretary's claim to speak french was soon cruelly exposed but a good game developed of trying to guess french sounding words to communicate with some of the residents.
International relations were happily restored and the final night when the band struck up was apparently incredible(I have very little evidence -being confined to my tent recovering from an amateur poisoning attempt by the cooks)but don't ask Conan either apparently he was too busy trying to beat himself at patience to notice the people dancing on the tables and Jamie taking over the bass playing.
In fact Jamie intended to stay there having fallen in love on more occassions than anyone can remember.We were all asked to stay by our french friends and tempting as it was we remembered the scouts and that we should be meeting them..then we thought about it again but decided we would have to go .
I have no doubt that Achill will hear of the District Explorer Unit again.
The second week took us to Tipperary with the Scouts and a campsite which resembled a paddy field(I just mean where you go rice not the other sort of paddy).Weather better than last year(just)and the fashion of the camp was too see whose feet would rot and fall off first.
Joe went from most annoying person last year to Scout of the week while last years scout of the week went back to lobotomy patient of the week.
Twins and Ryan got awards to mark their improvements.
