Saying Goodbye

After completing the environmental challenges, we headed back to the dining hall for lunch before jumping into our uniforms and proceeding to the gym for "Trading Places". That's the time we have to exchange badges, scarves, woggles and various other Scouting memorabilia.That brought our 2-day camp and combined activities with the Cubs and Scouts of Osaka Scout Council to a close. The closing ceremony was one we all participated in with mixed feelings. It began with a prize presentation ceremony to the Best Troop... It was not an easy decision but the Camp Chiefs and Japanese Leaders finally decided that the Award would go to Beni Zuru.

Congratulations everyone! You did well!

The prize presentation was then followed by a closing address by Madelene San, and the Organising Chairman from the Osaka Scout Council, Kinji San. A token of appreciation was then presented to the Osaka Scout Council which was accepted by Kinji San.The Japanese Cubs and Scouts left soon after as they would have to return to school tomorrow. It was a difficult goodbye, but inevitable. Tomorrow we proceed to the second leg of our Osaka Educational Tour.In the meantime, we will shower, have dinner and prepare for International Night at Kitagata Elementary School.
