It's been a busy day.
After breakfast the Patrols split into two groups to do the climbing wall and tidy the tents.
In the afternoon they built rafts - with varying degrees of success! - as you will have seen from the pictures!
Two out of four rafts made it from the assembly area to the launch jetty - one floated and one disintegrated straight away! But everyone got into the water and had a great time regardless.
The weather has alternated between bright warm sunshine and very heavy short rain showers - but that hasn't dampened anyone's spirits!
The Scouts then had to build altar fires by collecting birch, kindling and logs and lighting the fires without the use of matches. They cooked pizza and chips, followed by bananas and chocolate and cake made in orange skins.
We've had camp sketches by the fire followed by updates from the blog - thanks for your comments - please keep them coming - we'll read out some more at flag-down tomorrow afternoon.
Finally, there was a quick wide game followed by hot chocolate and biscuits before bed.
Another busy day planned for tomorrow.
Night night.
