These are the facts about me...

Girl. 14. I play the trombone and I love jazz. Jamie Cullum is my hero. Scouts is a massive part of my life, I don't know where i would be without it. I wouldn't be writing this blog, that's for sure. I have met people, done things, seen things I never thought I would. The Jamboree is going to be a massive adventure, one that I'm more than a little excited about. I like reading, staying up late watching films with my friends and having a laugh. These are just a few things that make me, me.

First isn't always the worst

The first time all 36 of us met as a unit was on March 7th at Lees wood. All of us knew one, maybe two people, but all that I knew was that I was in a room full of strangers (minus Kirsty and Chloe, the two other girls who were at my selection day!), who would turn out to be some of the best people I know, and that I would be spending some of the best times of my life with them.

We started with the typical getting-to-know-you exercises, where we got to find out a little more about everyone, including some of the leaders. The day that followed was a mix of activities like fire lighting, games, and putting up a tent blind-folded (which, as you can probably guess, was VERY interesting, and also VERY funny!) There was also a fair bit of tea making, house keeping and name learning. We got to have a proper chat with some more people over lunch, and I made some good friends just on that first day. It was all a bit crazy, and there was a lot of info to take in, but it was defiantly so much fun.

I will post some pictures up when I can.
