Granny and Granddad’s offer to take me to Rome was almost inconceivable. They had told me so much about their previous trip to Rome, and since then I had always really wanted to go. I was excited about visiting a place that had so much history and culture. There would be so many fascinating places to go, and interesting things to see and do. All I had to do now was tick off the days on my calendar until the second of October. The airport buzzed with energy. People rushed backwards and forwards from TV screens to where their other family members sat, to inform them of delays, gate numbers, and numerous other information the wide TV screens held. There was still no gate number showing for our flight however. We had got there extra early as I was so thrilled that I was going to Rome! “Any gate number yet?” Granny enquired. “Nope” I replied. I paced steadily, waiting on the gate number to appear. Suddenly it flashed up on the screen, and I was overwhelmed with excitement. I was going to “Roma” and on time too. The pilot said a few words about the height we would be flying at and how long the journey would take, but after that we were ascending through the air. The sound the ‘plane made at take off was like the roar of a lion. Every inch of my body shook, with excitement and fear. I had been waiting for this day for so long and it had finally come. I was flying high. Emotionally and physically! I made a feeble attempt to eat the revolting ‘plane food when it eventually came round. The flight was uneventful – a little turbulence, but nothing life threatening. My focus was solely on arriving. We settled in to the hotel quickly, and it wasn’t long before we were out exploring the streets of Rome. My feet ached, I felt hot and sweaty, almost nauseous, but yet my Granddad insisted we keep walking. Standing on the Spanish Steps had felt unreal. I could imagine Audrey Hepburn standing regally beside Gregory Peck. As I flicked my hair and made an attempt to imitate her, a smile grew across my face. I was extremely happy to be there, standing on those famous “Spanish Steps.” “How much longer Granddad, I don’t think my feet can take much more?” “Almost there Ellie, I promise” We turned a small street corner, and then I saw it. To be continued… Ellie Forbes, age 13 SCOUT REPORT by Ron Kirkpatrick It’s a daunting question “When is enough, enough?” This intriguing question arose during an exercise in instructing the Cub Pack in tent pitching. The theory we had got correct, the previous week a demonstration in the Hut about pitching and striking the canvas and all bode well. The following week saw us in the Big Park with three tents to master. Under the direction of two Leaders, each group was issued with a pile of pegs and two mallets and the battle was on. With great enthusiasm, the Cubs took turns with putting in the pegs. At one point, my attention was distracted and upon returning to the task, I discovered the peg that was now totally buried into the ground. “Maybe we should leave a wee bit sticking out so we can put a rope on it” Enough. This activity was being carried out in preparation for our Group Camp to be held at the end of the month, and the Cubs will have to put up their own tents upon arrival at the campsite. Let’s hope the ground is not too soft or we will have to dig out the pegs with a spade. We are hoping for a vast improvement in the weather – there has been too much liquid sunshine for my liking. Still they say it stops when it reaches the skin – it’s the process of reaching there that is arduous. The Scouts have already been under canvas for a camping skills weekend. In the past I have raised some concerns regarding the culinary skills of the Troop, but after this weekend I have to take them all back. The dishes produced would have met with the approval of Gordon Ramsay even if there wasn’t a recipe book in sight. The pork chops were delicious despite being cooked in tin foil (saves on the washing up) and the stew was very “creative”. The only thing the Scouts left on the plate was the pattern! The campsite was given due attention making gadgets designed to make life easier in camp. Some had a more Heath Robinson nature and I’m not too certain how effective the whirly dryer would have been, but I am sure the Mark 2 version will incorporate a more substantial model. The composition of the Troop will shortly be undergoing major changes as some of the older Scouts move on to the Explorer Section. This will create opportunities for other lights to shine and I hope they respond to the challenge as well as their predecessors. 13 ATTENTION ADVERTISERS Deadline for changes and new adverts is strictly 16th of each month.
