Day 8 (This day intentionally left blank!)

Saturday was a rest day. On Sunday we were going to start the biggest hike of the whole camp so Saturday was left free for our bodies to recover from an energetic first week.

It wasn't a complete lazy day though. Time was spent covering various bits of badges and awards. Geoff gave two excellent talks on mountain safety and navigation. The Scouts were also tested on their first aid and environmental knowledge.

WASHING UP

CHATTING TO THE EXPLORERS

One of the nice things about 3GP summer camps in Switzerland up until and including 2003, was that we always had a good mix of Scouts and Ventures or in this case Explorers. It enabled us to put on activities across a wide range of abilities, for example, older Scouts could mix with younger Explorers in hike groups if they were of similar ability. On this camp the fitter Explorers occasionally hiked with our experience Scout Network members. The wide range of abilities made it easier to tailor hikes for every ability and give opportunities for stretch challenges where appropriate.

ICE CREAMS AT THE CRYSTAL

JUST CHILLIN

CHATTING TO OUR NETWORKERS

Opposite the entrance to the camp site was the crystal cafe and bar. On the very unusual occasion that the Scouts found themselves with nothing to do in the afternoon they were allowed to pop down for a cola and an ice cream with the leaders.
