Jamboree 2007! It was such a hot day the jamboree participants from all over the world were so lucky with the weather in Essex last summer. I met so many people from so many countries. I had helped with the meeting and greeting at Heathrow Airport the previous week. Can you believe that the tented village of the Jamboree in the centenary year of Scouting became the second largest town in Essex for 2 weeks!
The top picture shows us on a visit to an old family friend who lives far away. The bottom picture is a visit to the seaside from Scout Summer camp, Alice was only 5 months old but it wasnt her first experience of camping ( her first was when she was only 9 weeks!! I must have been mad). The papers are from Colorbok and the lettering is from a Lisa Bearnson kit from QVC.
Alice's first birthday! She was just beginning to walk and was more interested in touching the candle flame than blowing it out hence I have a good hold on her hands ! Papers are from a QVC kit:O) 
More camping photos! The top one shows the Beaver Scouts busy creating something at camp, we had good weather didnt we! "Fun and Friends" is the Beaver Scout motto. The bottom picture is me being awful at archery, well I did score a couple of bullseyes but my technique was bad as I ended up with a badly bruised arm from the string of the bow lol. The papers and embellishments are from Colorbok.
Another page from the days when I was Beaver Scout Leader. This photo was taken at a group camp at Bears Rails in Windsor Great Park. We had the cubs and the scouts camping and the Beavers visited for the day. A great time!!
More photos of my Queens Scout presentation and the parade at Windsor Castle on St Georges Day. All papers from We R Memory Keepers. A very proud moment :O)
The presentation of my Queens Scout Award!! It's the highest award you can gain as a Scout and it was extra special as there were seven of us from our unit achieving it the same year. There are lots of parts to the award, learning new skills and services to the community amongst them but the hardest part for me was the expedition. We decided that we would cycle which meant we had to do a minimum of 150 miles over 5 days. We went to Zeebrugge in Belgium and cycled up through Holland to Rotterdam. Don't believe anyone who says that Holland is flat I can assure you it isn't!!!
More Scouting pictures! The top one shows Jayne and I with the Tank we made for the Beaver Scouts one week. They played with it for ages and at the end of the meeting we let them tear it apart so we could get it all in the recycling box. Strange to think that the boys who played in it probably now have children of their own.
Here it is, at last, the latest page for my album. I followed the scrapbook challenge set on CSF by Lesley this time, it's called 1,2,3. One word title, two photos and three embellishments in a row.
Another page for the album, the second album now! The papers and embellishments are from We r Memory Keepers. The picture is of me in my second home at a Venture Scout camp at Kempton Park Race course where we helped out at a caravanning show organising the car parking.
