THIS WEEKS LETTERS
Part of the 53rd still remains in Switzerland.
Members of the 53rd donated some money towards a chair
which has a plaque of the 53rd on it to leave behind in
Switzerland! Some of the money was collected by the scouts
and the rest was donated by the group. Many of the chairs were
sponsored by different scout groups all over the world and are
found in the main dining hall.
PL and APL Training Platania August 2010.
During the Cubs Summer Camp 10 of our Scouts went up to
Camp for Leader training preparing them for September. They
went though the basic functions of a Patrol, the law and
promise, and team work. The Scouts had the chance to input
some of their ideas for the program September 2010 to August
2011. Our Scouts also worked hard taking down the camp as
we were the last campers of this season and they were
rewarded by a paint ball match and a trip to Kakopetria Village.
