What a weekend! Given threatening conditions in the days prior this weekend's District Camp was held under absolutely superb weather conditions in a sublime setting. The early morning mist and beautiful bell and whip birds added to the magic of this incredible site. Oh, and it was Julian's 12th birthday on Saturday so the chocolate cake was a bonus!
1st Balmoral Sea Scout's two Patrols - Balmoral Kitchen Rules and The Dream Team - have done themselves, and the Group, proud with stand-out performance against Patrols from the Lower North Shore and Turrumburra Districts. 1st Balmoral achieved FIRST in the Camping section, FIRST and THIRD in Campcraft, Safety & Hygiene, SECOND in Activities and SECOND and Meals & Menus.
Overall District Camp THIRD place went to the Dream Team* and overall FIRST place to Balmoral Kitchen Rules** It will have been at least 10 years - and perhaps longer - since we have achieved such success at District Camp. All Scouts and the PL/APL's are to be congratulated on their fantastic efforts. Quite apart from 'doing well' our fabulous Scouts have enjoyed a happy and relaxed camp with lots of fun, laughter and great food.
Thank you to those parents who helped pack/unpack the trailer at either end of the weekend and a super special thank you to Simone, partner David and their incredibly helpful children who provided an extraordinary level of culinary and logistics support.
As always, a special thank you to Matthew, whose tireless enthusiasm made the weekend a huge success.
Thank you finally to David, Libby, Kim, Angela, Leone (District Scout Leader) and Peter (Distrrict Commissioner) and Leaders from East Roseville, Northbridge and 3rd Mosman Bay whose on-site input and efforts enabled our youth members to enjoy a thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
* The Dream Team: Jamie (Joint PL), Charles (Joint PL), Angela, Adelaide, Ella, Charis, Julian, Lachie, Elyssa
**Balmoral Kitchen Rules: Claire (PL), Ella (APL), Ellen, Sarah, James, Gabe, Beau, Carmela
