A fantastic weekend. Or at least, a fantastic Friday night through to Saturday that made it a fantastic weekend. Our first virtual sleepover for the Scouts. It went really well. I mean, really well. I was nervous, I was unsure about how it would be received, I didn’t know whether things would work. Some things didn’t work exactly how I’d planned, but that didn’t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What did matter was that the Scouts and their families were really engaged and threw themselves into it. It was really encouraging for future virtual camps – after all, it was really only a trial. Scout camps are normally for two nights, but because I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, we only ran it for one night this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The camp itself was really enjoyable, but it was some of the comments from the Scouts and parents afterwards that really made it great. I don’t think I’d realised just how valuable something like this could be, in lifting our Scouts spirits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, onto the next one. We have another one-nighter on the 30th, taking part in the world record attempt, but then I intend to run a two night camp at home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
