KFUM-Spejderne in Denmark
National Jamboree, City of Skive
July 24th – August 1st 2010
Hip hooray it’s our birthday!
Written by: Mette Svendsen
”Happy birthday!” the writing on the breakfast bag says. And in a way it actually is your birthday if you are a member of KFUM-spejderne as we can celebrate that it’s been a hundred years since the association’s work began in Denmark.
And a birthday should be celebrated in a right and proper manner.
Today, Saturday, we have therefore begun the party by eating breakfast together in the sub camps. On the square in front of the cultural centre in Globen Scouts are appearing from all sides. In the queue I find Mads Hermansen, Natascha Josephine Ploug Gredsted and Peter Vestergaard Petersen from Bispebjerg troop.
–I hope I get something to drink for which I won’t need my own cup, Mads says.
He has forgotten his cup back home in the camp.
-And Nutella, Natascha says while Peter agrees, nodding.
And luckily both Nutella and brick juice was to be found on the breakfast table.
In the grass, the groups assemble and enjoy that the birthday can take its beginning in dry weather.
