Ti dage i Danmark

Well, she's off on her travels. Little Fink heads out with the scouts for 10 days in Denmark with a trip to the Scout Jamboree in Sweden for good measure.
The coach/ferry/coach trip will take around 26 hours, when they arrive at Naesby Centret Scout Camp, Zealand, Denmark http://www.naesbycentret.dk/about-us.aspx they will have tents to put up before they can chill out.
I hope all the young people (and leaders) have a terrific trip, make marvellous memories and create friendships that last a lifetime.

In these times of uncertainty when sending your children off to foreign lands to camp in the great outdoors used to be happy and safe thing to do, it is hard to relinquish the care and control of my 11 year old. I wish you all back safely very soon.

(My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies go out to the families of the young people tragically killed in Norway recently - there but for the grace of fate, go I)
