Morten Augustinussen, one of the scouts behind the activities, has noticed a lot of pleased scouts during the week and also that they are very keen on trying different activities. His impression is that there is a lot of enthusiasm and happy and pleased leaders. Morten´s greatest wish is that the children like the different activities and consider them great fun. However, he suggest Your  reported to ask the children, and so we do…

Latest news from the camp site (Thursday at lunch time) is that the atmosphere is true Blue. All scouts are busy, as some have recently returned home for a hike, and suddenly a hot showers gets very attractive! Others are getting prepared for a big water fight and all are looking forward to tonight´s scouts´ ball. To put it briefly: the atmosphere is true Blue!

After having had a nice day with lots of fun and activities there is nothing like relaxing while watching a good film. The youngest participants of the camp liked the idea, so a little less than two hundred persons choose to sit down in front of the widescreen watching film.

A good film must, obviously, be combined with some popcorn. When it comes to popcorn for approximately two hundred persons, it can appear to be a problem not having enough bowls. Fortunately, buckets used by bricklayers are available. Do not worry, as the buckets have not been used for other purposes. In case you would like to prepare popcorn for a little less than two hundred persons, take the recipe and multiply it by 50!

While junior scouts and those being older for some time had left the camp site in order to go for hike, the youngest scouts took advantage of this and spend Wednesday participating in Disneydag. Here Robin Hood and Winnie the Pooh and others invited the scouts to try different activities.

Winnie the Pooh, always keen on sweet things, asked for help. With great enthusiasm the youngest participants in the jamboree took up this challenge – even while being blindfolded. You may probably be able to imagine what was to be tasted…

Robin Hood invited all that were on top of the world to a fight with Little John. It was not with a sword and blade nor with arrow and curve. On the contrary, it was a flight with pillows on a log. It was a very popular thing.

Robin Hood is a nice guy, and he even equipped all the children with a green hat. This hat appeared later on to be very useful for the purpose of storing popcorn!

No doubt that scouts are willing to help and assist you if needed. This is exactly the same impression Winnie-the-Pooh had during the activities on Wednesday. He asked the smaillest scouts to assist him by tasting some of the sweet he had in order to determine what it really was. The challenge was taken right away by the scouts who were more than willing to taste the sweets a la Kims-style (not able to see anything when tasting). By the way, it is quite easy to imagine that it was honey being tasted.

Tuesday was International Day held in a true Blue atmosphere. Starting already in the morning the camp site seemed to be busy from scouts moving around and getting ready to welcome guests. All scouts were supposed to move around in the campsite and visit other groups. It was an invitation that all scouts accepted.

 

The world´s smallest newspaper with a circulation of 1,200 copies published three times in a week, is now presenting the 2nd volume. You can also find the newspaper here on the website if you enter the library with newsletters.

What is left is the ultimative final edition. The presentation has been changed from Saturday in the morning and Mosbjerg Times will instead be out Friday night. The editorial staff is currently busy writing the final newspaper. Also, the scouts at the camp have been very pleased with the newspaper that already has a huge demand. The readers have also been very helpful with suggestions, photos, and text for the newspaper.

Scouts taking part in this years´ jamboree expressed their symphaty in memory of the victims in Norway Monday at noon. The message was announced on the wide screen in the camp and by messages passed on to the many spots where activities were taking place.

The participants of the camp were at the time spread over quite an area. Therefore is was a challenge to get the message around the camp.

The first couple of days have been spend on building the camp. Afterwards time has been spent on activities at a high pace. The atmosphere is excellent and it is a true Blue pleasure to take part in the camp where activities are going on and on and with the chance to make new friends. However, at the same time vendelbo Jamboree is the place with room for making a stop, having a break, enjoying life or simply having a good time around the fireplace. See by yourself!

No doubt that scouts are always ready and – of course – also ready for swopping. Dozens of scouts seemed quite ready when being invited for Swopping Monday evening. Here a lot of scouts from both Denmark and other countries met, had a smalltalk and most important of all exchanged badges.

Many scouts enjoy to exchange badges that can make the uniform look even more fancy.
