I popped by at lunch today to see what everybody was up to. A couple were away on the all day water sports. A few tried out their circus skills. Another tried the electronics, which is a project to make a flashing LED woggle. And others tried their hand at some of the crafts.
My impression of today's activities is that word has been spreading that some of the activities were fun and others wanted to try them out. There was also a repeat trip to Pitlochry for a couple of them. I guess they haven't been getting their shopping fix.
Personally, I went on a distillery tour of Edradour today so I was sequestered in the Staff Club for a while after I got back. Strict alcohol policy here about interacting with youth after anything to drink. As it should be. http://www.edradour.co.uk/index6.html
Tonight the Scouts have Kastle Keilidh for the evening activity. It is a subcamp competition that usually involves some Scottish dancing, but it is really just a big party. Most of our Scouts stayed in sub-camp to socialize.
For “supper” at 9 pm all the Patrol Leaders are invited into the staff club for the one and only opportunity for any Scouts to enter leader only territory. The best of the best acts from the International talent night are also invited into the staff club to perform for the patrol leaders.
I think the PL's I talked to were pretty impressed with the staff club with it's chandeliers, fancy draperies, wood floors and such. It is pretty deluxe compared to just about everywhere else in camp, which is strictly grass for floors, including the Scout tents. They put tarps down as a ground sheet for sleeping but have to fold it up half way each day for inspection, and apparently so they don't kill the grass.
