Lägrets avslutningsfest har nått sitt slut, Kilke-sången och andra populära sånger fick oss alla att stiga upp och sjunga med, att njuta av samvaron och gemenskapen! Trots att festen nådde sitt slut hörs det nu längs stigarna folk som ropar "nu är det sista kvällen" och från var och vart annat underläger hörs musik och glad samvaro. Sömn är kanske inte den första tanken hos scouterna ikväll!
Imorgon bär det sedan av med bussarna hem till varma duschar, rena kläder och inget damm! Vilket härligt läger det har varit!
HOLA! The nightworkhorses are going again. Yesterday night once more lasted till today. Tarmo’s tango tangled but fortunately, instead of Irma, a charming young man got Tarmo away. Simultanously Irma was sitting moodily on a wet hill together with her wonderful colleagues. HOW DID WE MANAGE TO BE APART????
After several days of camping in this Jamboree with local Finnish scouts as well as international guests, I've learned a lot from this indeed! This Jamboree, "Kilke" is nothing less than brilliant, and everything I've experienced and felt will not be easy to describe in a few words.
Efter en vecka i oerhört damm och med smutsiga armar och ben, tält, matkärl och ryggsäckar, för att inte tala om fötter känns det ganska bra med en liten regnskur som sköljer bort all smuts. Med bra tur sköljs tälten också och hinner torka innan man skall packa ihop på torsdag morgon!
On Kilke there's four hikes so that everyone can participate. The hike is called Quite-A-Hike and on every hike there is more than one thousand campers. First ones to take the hike were the campers from the sub camp Kaleva on Friday. I followed one patrol on this hike.
La délégation sénégalaise est très contente de participer au Kilke 2010. Nous pensons avoir apporté notre savoir-faire dans le déroulement des activités auxquelles nous avons participé.
Today is the seventh camp day. The fabulous camp is past its half-way post. The camp is however made special by the fact that every day, there is something new to admire. Today, I observed the enthusiasm of the foreign scouts towards their Finnish friends and the camp.
As Team Leader from The Netherlands I was kindly asked to write some words from this Jamboree, also because I have seen Loisto and Tervas in the last century. But as my brother Reinoud tends to teach me: never compare one camp with the other. So I will not compare these camps, but will for sure we have had some great times then and now.
The scouts and explorers spent the morning completing their Quite-A-Hike. All enjoyed the hiking as well as the activities on the way. It was good to experience cooking and sleeping out Finland-style!
The scouts enjoyed their afternoon on the lake and the water activities. The explorers performed their first service tasks at Fire Valley.
The leaders performed their first service task entertaining the various sub camps with a discussion about scouting in the UK and sharing differences between the UK and Finnish scouting.
