Post camp update #2

Huge thanks to our Danish buddy group with whom we spent the week ( and a bit ) in Denmark with.
All International groups were paired up with Danish groups at SL2017, and we were paired up with Skads Spejdergruppe from Esjberg

Post camp update #1.2

Seen Carlsberg purchased by the Scouts on the wristband?

this will relate to a softdrink most likely Carlsberg sport, or even plain bottled water, Carlsberg are also the bottlers/distributors for coca-cola products in Denmark
 the drinking age at the camp is 18+, and this was shown by a different wristband toggle colour 

Post Camp update #1

Wristbands: please do not throw away the wristband, as it is stamped with a number that may ( or may not) be of importance  

Also....

The camp photo gallery is now up, and online at http://foto.sl2017.dk/
