We are involved in asking parents when the Troops should hold a summer camp. Whilst we would have liked a few more replies, I thank those that have responded; and report these results:

• Week 1 (27/7 – 2/8) – 11
• Week 2 – 5
• Week 3 – 8
• Cannot or will not be going to camp next summer: 9

On this basis I must go ahead and book camp for the first week in the summer holidays, starting on Sunday 27th July 2014. Some other interesting comments were:

• Make the camp shorter (perhaps Sunday to Friday)
• £200 is considered expensive by some (we can do it cheaper, but not with adventure activities)
• Poor behaviour from some the older Scouts has and is putting off some from attending summer camp. (we WILL address this)
