2018 Trip

When I first arrived at the Nepalese restaurant it was quite dim but it was very fancy with all the different colours and the really interesting artifacts. When we all sat down with our patrols I just couldn’t stop laughing (almost spilt my drink) because all of my patrol were just so funny. it was great to be in that patrol. The food was very nice as well because I like curry but sometimes it can get very spicy but this curry was bang on for how hot it was. It was just non stop laughter every second in the restaurant with my patrol. The staff were quiet but were very nice and helpful.

Overall, the meal was great, my patrol were just the best and the funniest and I can’t wait to experience the life of living in Nepal for 2 weeks, it will be great.

In Namaste Nepal, the Nepalese restaurant that we visited, we all sat with our patrols on long tables around the edge of the room, with the leaders on a table in the middle. After catching up with each other for a bit, we were served our starter of momos. Momos are the Nepalese version of dumplings containing meat or vegetables, served with a spicy dip. Everyone seemed to really enjoy these.

For a main we were served lentils, chicken tikka, and two other dishes, one with lamb and one with chicken. This was served with naan bread and rice. At the end of the meal a cake was brought out for Izzy as it was her birthday on the same night. Overall it was a great night that everyone enjoyed.

The first full meeting of Young People going on the 2018 trip took place on the 10th October. Planning of the activities at the Jamboree started, along with designs and requirements for a water safety badge that we are hoping to deliver on our trip.

James – one of the Explorers going on the trip – had the following to say:

We had a great evening looking forward to our upcoming trip. All scouts divided up into our patrols and we looked at having a possible camp passport which would result in the Nepali scouts getting a badge at the end of the camp. We also looked at trying to set up a water safety badge. In their patrols the scouts designed the badge and the things the scouts would have to do to get the badge. This would also leave a legacy of the trip by teaching the skills to the Nepali leaders who could then pass the knowledge on to others.

Overall a very productive night, with lots to look forward to for the scouts
