Friday disco
There currently at the disco, and its water activities tomorow, some all day on the boat trip or sailing, some spending half the day scuba diving, and canoing.
Friday 5th August
after a damp evening last night the sun has come back outagain, and its yet another hot day.
As today activities are all on site the scouts have had a chance to have a lie in today.
today its sports, and the Scouts are split into two groups, one group is on smaller co-operative games, such as 4 way football, flinging bottles into a counterbalanced bucket, something involving 4 helemets attached to each other an obstacle course and some cups of water. and for the bigger games, two wide games out in the shady wooded areas around and on site.
This afternoon those on the smaller co-op games will swap with those on the wide games, and activites coming to an end for today at 4pm.
thats just before the evening stuff starts, tonight its the Disco in the main arena, and this finishes at 11:30pm, tomorow were out and about on the aqua activities - so for some it could be an early start.
So the plan just now is to head back to camp, ask the Scouts to tidy their tents, drink plenty of fluids and after this evenings meal we may have a rest period.

Thursday 4th August ( lost track of how many days in )
So today weve had jambo tours, one group went to Amsterdam for the Brainiac tour, the other to Haarlem for the High voltage tour.
Henry, who went to Amsterdam said.."we went to the amsterdam scince museum, called nemo, it was realy realy fun, afterwards, we tried to go to the ann frank muesuem, but there was such a long que that we couldnt get in. so we had a bit of free time in Amsterdam.
Max, who went to the high voltage tour said " after we got off the bus we went to an old church that was 500 years old, and we had atour round there, the floor was made out of gravestones, (1,500 ) after that we went in the attic, and the floor felt like it was going to fall down any minute, then we left and went to a park to have lunch, and Dave fell asleep! the we had some free time walking round the shops in groups of three. :)
Trev - "what do you think of the camp so far max?"
Max sys: "one of the best camp camps so far, brilliant so far"
So thats that, i may be able to post some photos from the brainiac tour ( amsterdam) later, but i dont have any from the high votlage tour, as dave was on that one and he says his camera has broken ( or he doesnt know how to make it turn on )
Tommorow it Sports on the activity schedule, if you have a look at the photos on the main website you should get a good idea of whats comming.
Weather wise, its been yet another hot day, with a few heavy showeres this evening, although these seem to have stopped for now.
More photos later, all being well.

Cleaning rota
Each group at the haarlem jamborette has to help with a few things on site, tonight its our turn to help clean the showers
Good evening
So after the trail everyone is st club recharge, then bed.
Tomorrow its hikes, we are split into three groups, each with at least one leader, city hike with dave and helen, polder hike with kingsley and stuart, and the slightly more technical invent your own hike with me the two dans helping.
More later perhaps, if not more tomorow.
Afternoon :)
A warm sunny morning has now given way to a hot afternoon here at the haarlem jamborette, although a nice breeze has just started making it feel slightly ( though not much ) fresher - its still hot.
Weve now fixed then tarp to the table/shelter ( pictures coming soon of our camp area ) and as this morning its just a case of making sure everyones had loads to drink.
The Scouts are on is afternoons activites which is another session on the trail ( but different activities this time) so far so good, and ive been realy impresssed by the way that the our Scouts have been mixing and socialising with the rest of the scouts on site from around the world.
Tommorow were off on Hikes, Probably the polderhike an/or he city hike, as the Drop of hike for over 14s is over 25km long, and requires a start time of 0530am ! ( the two dans didnt seem to keen on this )
As it was in 2007, when i was here last the evening activities go on to 11pm, with music ( live bands/DJs ) in club recharge, and a very busy chip van outside, selling amongst the obvious some Dutch snacks such as kroketen and cheese waffle things.
Im now off to track down an ice cream, and then to see what the Scouts are upto. - more later, and possibly some more photos as well.

Tuesday update
After the opening cermony finished we were all back on site for 11:15 and then it was off to bed, as on Monday we all went off to the theme park - this involved having to get up early to be at the bus pick up point on time.
Everyone made it back to the meet point on time, for lunch, and again they were all on time at the meet up point for the return trip back to camp.
after we picked up the ingredients and prepared our evening meal: Schnitzel, potatoes and fresh beans, the Scouts had a bit of free time round the campsite, and then it was on to the central area, as club recharge swung into action with everone back on site once everything had finished.
We have been switched from Subcamp Haarlem A to Subcamp Haarlem B so our activiy shedule is a little different, Today we have got the Activity trial, which consists of several different team based activites, all based round basic and slightly more complex poineering projects.
At the moment, and if the hot weather continues its a case of making sure that the Scouts ( and other leaders!!) are drinking plenty of water, wearing hats, and suncream etc.
A s ever keep an eye on the official website, as we have all been photographed, filmed, and interviewd for Dutch TV at several points throughtout the camp so far.
More later, and a few photos as well - trev.

Updates - 28th Feb 2011
Posted 28th Feb 2011
If your not already aware, we (1st Melbourne ) will be camping with 1st Eccleshall Scouts,and Madla speidergruppe ( from Stavanger, in Norway ) at the Haarlem Jamborette.
We have previously camped with 1st Eccleshall Scouts ( and their leaders) in Norway, in 2006, and 2009, and also at various other Scout ( and Cub ) Camps.
in 2010 Eccleshall Scouts went on a three week Expedition to Abakan in Russia (Siberia.)
We have also Camped with, and been hosted by the Norwegain Scouts in 2004 at Phasels wood (UK) at Hundvag (Norway 2006) and in Norway (Oltsvik /Stavanger) in 2009, Dave has known the Leaders and camped with them many times before then.
Back to Holland....
Activities, the activities programme has been updated and is available here I am going to take a guess and say that its likely that we will be on subcamp Haarlem A. You can read more about the activities on the main website.
Food: ingredients for all meals are provided by the campsite, from the subcamp food tent. All we have to do is prepare/cook the food on our campsite. The offsite activity's usualy last all day, and when we are on those, the Scouts (and leaders) will make a packed lunch to take with them. unlike UK camps( peak/poacher/chamboree etc ) the camp asks for leaders to accompany/supervise Scouts on these activity's.

Coming soon....
Welcome to the blog site for our planned Summer camp at the Haarlem Jamborette in Holland.
We will be camping with Madla speidergruppe from Norway, and if all goes to plan Eccleshall Scouts will be joining us as well.
This blog will contain information about the camp, fund-raising (at Melbourne) and any other bits and bobs that come along.
while we are in Holland the blog will also be updated with information and ( posibly )photos of what we have been up to, similar to previous camp blogs.
The background photo of this blog shows our camp area at the 2007 jamborette, or an aerial view from google earth ( as im currently experimenting with the layout )
During the early stages of this blog there will also be 'test' postings from various devices that i will/may have access to in Holland to update this blog remotely.
