Yestderday saw the whole camp head to the discothek in town for the weekly "scouting-disco". The 138th held the dance floor for the whole night, with all ages contributing cheesy dance-moves to the fray. Needless to say, the foreign girls were infatuated with our kilted lads, and they soon found themselves surrounded by crowds of female admirers. A particularly good show was put on by Colin "Spicey" McIntyre, who ensnared a beautiful Londoner within the closing minutes of the night, to the delight of the entire dancefloor.
Today the boys went on a daytrip to Trimmelbach and Interlachen. First stop was some fantastic waterfalls which flow through natural tunnels within the Swiss mountains - sounds a bit like something your parents would drag you to but in fact they had a great time running up and down to dark corridors and getting sprayed off of the waterfalls (from a safe distance - the channels shift 20,000 tonnes of water per second).
We continued to Interlachen, a picturesque town situated between two large lakes. The boys checked out the town and picked up a few presents for home. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great for our visit, but as usual they stayed a jolly bunch,and thankfully we were treated to a bit of sun in the second half of the day.
For leaders' news, our canyoning trip was cancelled due to bad weather conditions. However we have rescheduled for Friday so fingers crossed. We've booked the sauna for tonight whilst the boys are attending a sports event so are looking forward to a much-needed break.
The boys will be heading off to do the "High Ropes" ariel assault course tomorrow - Frame and Dario have bravely decided to miss the canyoning to oversee the event. The Explorer Scouts went earlier in the week and said it was phenomenal, so with that and the grand campfire happening tomorrow night it should be a great final day for them.

Unfortunately the system at KISC makes it very difficult to upload photos to the blog - we are currently working on resolving this. Rest assured there are plenty, if you don't see them now you'll be able to sit through them next parents' night.
