Day 8: Canterbury

Today the Scouts are off to Brownsea Island to camp.  Brownsea Island, near Poole, is the location of the Lord Baden Powell's first Boy Scout Camp.  It is a great honor for the scouts to spend one night at the Boy Scout camp that was developed by the founder of scouts. On the way to Brownsea, the troop made a pitstop at Stonehenge, so it's been a busy day already!  Looking forward to seeing those photos soon.

In the meantime, looks like yesterday the group spent time in Canterbury.  First off, they went on a tour of the Eurostar Simulator (trains) and then went on to Canterbury to see the castle and get some shopping in on High Street.  Looks like one of the things the boys found on High Street... was English girls!

Here is Joshua's latest update:

Today we went to Canterbury Cathedral, and hung out in the Canterbury markets. It was a quite day, which I think was good because a lot of people seem to be coming down with something.

I don't have a lot to write about today, because not too much happened, but fortunately, there were some things about London I forgot to mention. On Sunday, Tom sent Matt a picture through the Facebookamajigs of him, standing next to a Tardis, in the London Film Museum (He evidently took a day trip up there). Hopefully, we'll be able to go there when we go back to London next Monday. There was also something else, but I can't remember now.

Update from Randy:

 Today was train simulator driving and Canterbury Cathedral (uber-incredible). Since they posted other pictures, I'll post a picture I took of some of the boys during our Canterbury High Street shopping tour.
