First post

Well Jeff invited me to join this lovely random..err..whatsit and if no-one has any objection (and please feel free to object!) I shall take him (her really =P) up on the invite!

Soo what to put in a first post? How about some random tip bits I have been writing this evening for publishing at an international camp I am reporting for this summer?

Why am i asking myself questions again? (<---I won't reply to this question as it's rhetorical :D)

Anyway...

1. Scouts, lost your wash bag? Don’t worry, you are on camp so won’t be needing it.
2. To achieve positive press on your unit; just ask a member of The Foggy View team, ‘What drink would you like me to buy you?’
3. Do not insult the WS PRESS team. We have the camp-wide media at our disposal, including the rumour mill and various cameras. We are a dangerous enemy, my friends.
4. Guides if the wait for a shower too much in the mornings, dress as a Scout and be free of those tedious queues!
5. Be kind to the environment! Don’t let Scouts air their tents.
6. Copies of The Foggy View newspaper can also be folded for use as sun hats and paper boats. Fact.
7. Taking shower gel to water fights is a good way to avoid showers.
8. Leaders, next time enjoy WS much more by leaving your units behind.
9. Cups of tea turn even the scariest leaders into ... well, less scary leaders.
10. Sightings of the rare ‘Guider Lizard’ are common at WS. They are most likely found outside the bar, chasing their favourite prey ‘guides’ or lounging in the sun.
11. Sunglasses are excellent portable mirrors.
12. Leaving the day’s socks outside of tents is a sure-fire barrier against insects of all varieties.
13. Camp food is never burnt. The black bits are just caramelised, don’t you know.
14. Do not confuse Bumblebees with visiting Brownies. Whilst both may sting, the later may not appreciate being swatted.
