The youngsters from Ruthin, Llangollen and Prestatyn met other Scouts from countries including the USA, Canada, Germany, Israel, and Nigeria to take part in water sports, games, incident hikes
, craft making and much more.

In the evenings there were discos, films and live bands who played to the crowds from a large outdoor stage.

The Scouts also had day visits to Duxford Air museum and the local beach.

The theme for the event was endangered animals, with the sub-camps suitably named. The Denbighshire Scouts were on Orang-utan sub-camp.

During the camp there was an International Day when the countries presented native dishes.

The Vale of Clwyd Scouts made and served Welsh Cakes hot from the pan, a very popular dish.

Another day saw a Penny Fayre being operated by all sub-camps with the proceeds donated to Colchester Zoo.

The Scouts and their leaders all agreed it was a fantastic experience to be one small group amongst 10,000 like-minded people who had enjoyed Scouting at its best.
