"Throughout our stay the health of the camp was good. There were a few upset tummies, which is not Uncommon at seaside resorts, but none of these lasted more than 4 few days, and we had no serious injuries.
"The maim scouting activities car. ried out were as follows: a good deal of Ist and 2nd class badge work was completed, especially cooking. Some: times patrols, sometimes individual Mr. boys, cooked their own meals. There were several all-day expeditions to the Lotus Hills and in other directions. Two patrols made a fly camp on the Lotus Hills. - Four scouts did their first class hike. We made a very successful and quite exciting *|over-head transporter between two high trees. Each patrol made a detailed map of the area from the sea to the limit of the camp site Tracks were studied and plaster casts made; there were several trails laid and followed; there were several night stalking games, a little sig-3n Halling was practised, and there were frequent and successful camp fires.
"We were instructed by the K.M.A. to leave camp on July 28, several days earlier than we had hoped, in order to catch the Nancy Moller. We woke on July 28 to find it drizzling, and the drizzle soon turned into a steady rain, with occasional terrific downpours. We tried, with partial Success, toi keep personal kit dry, especially blankets; but everything else got ringing wet. Heavy luggage was sent back by sampan, with a party of six, the rest was taken by train, but we wished it had all gone by boat, as he railway regulations were so tiresome. When we reached the Nancy Moller we found she was still coaling, and we had to sleep wherever we could find room, in our clothes.
