good night
took over an hour to walk from the bus drop off, through the vast subcamps, tents up, scouts getting in tents, sleep soon.
more tomorrow
got a long walk over rough grass
long walk to camp, some scouts have wheeled bags that won't move very well on the grass!
a little bit of drama - lost luggage
after a dash through the airport we were held up at baggage claim, and missed the bus.
Not a huge problem, as there was another in two hours.
The main issue was/is a bag has gone missing, (hence the hold up) and the lost luggage number for Brittish Airways in Hamburg didn't work.
The person who's bag has gone missing: Dave, who is currently without clothes, sleeping bag and his own tent.
All of which is either at Heathrow T5, or Hamburg, either which way it didn't come through to baggage claim.
As we will be somewhat later than planned getting to camp, we will miss the first meal, so it was emergency catering at hamburg airport, courtesy of Mc Donalds, scouts were happy with that.
photos later
landed at Hamburg
We've got about 30 minutes to clear luggage claim, passport control, and to find the bus that will take us to camp in Denmark
next update from the bus, hopefully.

Online Tuckshop
First time I've seen this on a camp, parents in the UK ( and anywhere else) can buy sweets and treats for Scouts on the camp in Denmark, these are then delivered to the Scout from the tuck shop at camp
Run this through google translate : https://spejderpost.dk/
in English:
If your friend or your child needs to be spoiled a little, then you can also buy some sweets, both the healthy and the less healthy kind, which the post centre will put in an envelope with the postcard.
Do you know someone whose birthday takes place during Jamboree Denmark 2017? Then you can order a ”kagemand” (buns or cake formed as a girl or a boy and topped with sweets). Then we deliver a postcard to the scout/guide with information of when and where the cake can be picked up.
