Mr Martin and Amy are currently on holiday in Crete, Greece.

DSCN0055We were wandering around Rethymnon in Crete when we came across some Greek scouts on camp.

DSCN0050The Greek scouts areDSCN0052 celebrating 100 years of scouting this year and the 3rd and 4th System Rethymnon Scouts had pitched their camp near the beach in Rethymnon Crete. Everyone was havin g a great time and when we introduced ourselves they welcomed us with open arms, a real scout greeting. We spent a little time with them chatting and had some photos taken. We will tell you all about it when we return..
