you ever been to a supermarket, and as you get to the checkout there is

As always, the Scouts kept a log book on our Kandersteg Expedition this summer. Each patrol was asked to write (or draw) their acoount of what the days was like when they were duty patrol.
It’s full of stories, cartoons, pictures and in-jokes. Grown-ups may want to ask the nearest Scout to translate.

During Summer camp in Switzerland in August 2011, we sent Twitter messages regularly, which were displayed on the front page of this web site, complete with links to photos and senders. We’ve collected the messages here, so that the log doesn’t disappear with time.
Please read and wonder at what we did and what the messages mean!
