Well this was really long one. I mean time without blogging.
But I have some good reasons, and some not so good.
Let's state those not so good first. When I came form Ribno, last Saturday I was so tired that I just had to sleep for many hours. When I finally came to my senses I have cough bad ear inflammation. And I was good for few more days. I had to stay in bed with high fewer. Even now I can not go outside and do not feel quite well, but well enough to write these lines.
But let's leave that behind and tell something about all good stuff.
At this years scout camping I was one of the three leaders of our guide school. The guide school is preparation course for those who want to become guides of of scout group (smaller one). It teaches you few basics you need to know when you get your own young scout group. It is put together of knowledge of different fields. From knowing how to survive in the nature, first aid, about orientation and topography, astronomy, signalization, how to made useful objects from natural materials, history of scouts, teamwork, communication, ... and some most important things on how to work with kids, what to expect of them and how to solve some problems.
This course is fitted in ten day's with theoretical and practical parts. At the end each individual that has joined the course takes the test and during the whole time he is carefully observed how is he doing things, what is his behavior, and much more.
It is a very heavy course for youngsters of 14, 15 and few more years.
At the end each and everyone is told what he is capable of and how old group of scouts is he prepared to have if any.
Our guide school is known to be one of the best in our country. But no school can make wonders. Many of our guides are known to be one of the best ones but that is because they had good guides and they got the knowledge and experience even before they went to guide school.
I can say that for myself. The guide school was only repeating and strengthen the knowledge I already had.
For many years now we receive candidates from all over the country and we can see how the things are very different from parts to parts. How different is approach in different parts of country.
There were 18 candidates in the first shift Only 6 of them were from our part, all the others were from allover the country.
But not to think that because we were in a course we didn't do any other stuff. We also
attended all the "cultural" and fun stuff. We just had our own program and were independent of any other. But we were there to help and to entertain.
The weather this year was very mixed for sure. There was lots of rain, even some storms with hail, some really hot days and few days of English weather. After 3 years it was cold enough at night that the snow fell under 1000 meters above the sea in the middle of the summer.
I must say I enjoyed every day of this years camping. Every day was a little surprise.
