Hi Mum! (and Dad. And Bean.)
Quick update while photos
upload: Cuboree's going really well. Media's been really good so far.
Total photo count so far (between 3 photographers) = ~2600. I'm
currently working on finding great ones to go on the VicScouts website,
as well as Facebook.
The highlight of today was a visit from Victorian Minister for
Youth Affairs, Ryan Smith, who came for an hour. I basically spent the
entire time running around with Simon, taking photos (something like 200
in the hour) as we went on a whirlwind tour of Gilwell and Cuboree.
Tomorrow I'll be doing a similar tour with a photographer from one of
the local newspapers as well as several other VIPs, except by myself
instead of with Simon. :D
I think I'm walking more than
I've ever walked before, perhaps even at Jamboree. Trips from the
Messmate Annexe (the Comms/Media office) to the Venturer sub-camp and
back have totalled around 5-6km, just today. Alongside that, I've been
walking across the whole camp to get photos. No blisters yet, but I'm
pretty happy when I find an empty seat.
Cubs are all having a fantastic time. I've already taught some
the Pizza Man song, but there's still lots to go! I'm pretty familiar in
three or four packs where I know all the leaders. It's a lot like last year - Venturers all in costume, cubs all loving it, everyone's exhausted by the end of the day. My cape and helmet are much loved already, though possibly more so with the Venturers than with the Cubs.
Ironically, I won't actually post a photo - they just take too
long to upload and fiddle with. I'll make sure some are on the VicScouts
website for you tomorrow.
- Jo
