When I go camping with my scouts, its tiring!!! Whether its just a weekend or a week away for summer Camp there’s no denying its hard work and I’m zonked by the end of it.
To make it a little easier, us Scout Leaders are guilty of taking a like “Guilty Pleasure” to help us along the way. If you’re a regular listening to my podcast you would know my Guilty Pleasure is Jaffa Cakes. I have a stash of them in my tent, its not a secret, this keeps me going and helps me when I’m in need of a quick chocolate fix.
“ What’s your camping Guilty Pleasure?”
So I set this question to Scout Leaders from around the world and here’s some I picked out from a rather long list…
- Marmite
- Mars Bars
- Top of Form
- My she wee
- Foot balm
- Vanilla cigars
- A flacon glenfiddich
- Bottle of Barrs Iron Bru
- Coffee
- Hot water bottle. Yes even in summer. I hate cold feet keeping me awake!
- A drop of Rum when I’m”off duty’ in the cocoa…
- Whisky
- Cheese and Biscuits
- A bottle of port
- Rice crackers and camenbert
- Bottles of lemonade
- My Tilley lamps
- White chocolate with rice crisps.
- Coffee and twisttes
- PG Tips
- Fresh Fruits
- A bottle of water in my tent , as I’m always thirsty in the morning after late night nattering …
- Cake
- Wine gums
- Fake spider
- MY pillow! Have pillow, will travel, camp, sleep anywhere, anytime!!!
- My dog
- Camp blanket
- Jelly babies
- Ear plugs
- My 20+ year old ted Noel
- A book
Cake, Sweets , alcohol and a Hot Water Bottle seems to be common Camping Guilty Pleasures of Scout Leader’s.
