Meet Clinton ... a JOTI first-timer

Clinton has just become a scout leader - he used to lead a cub pack until his son moved up to scouts. He hasn't done a JOTI before so he is on a steep learning curve. You can see how hard he is concentrating!

Ape-ing Around

The school has some great facilities which the scouts are starting to enjoy. Jake, Ben, Tom and Dion can be seen ape-ing around the climbing frame.

The Big Set-up

With help from the Gorse Venture Scouts we arrived on Friday evening with a couple of trailer loads of kit which we loaded into the main hall at Cotswold Primary School in Bishopdale, Christchurch, NZ. The school has great facilities - a huge hall, a kitchen and a broadband connection and is ideal for running this kind of event

This year the camp has been opened up to the whole Torlesse Zone and we are expecting over 50 scouts, cubs and keas to pass through the doors for JOTI 2008. It should be a great weekend.

All the kit has been kindly been donated by a number of businesses and put together over the last couple of years.
