21st WSJ

BACK TO GILWELL
I used to be a Cub Scout, and a good old Cub Scout too.
But now I've finished Cubbing, I don't know what to do.
I'm growing old and feeble, and I can Cub no more,
So I'm going to work my ticket if I can.

Chorus:
Back to Gillwell, happy land;
I'm going to work my ticket if I can.

I used to be a Boy Scout, and a good old Boy Scout too,
But now I've finished Scouting I don't know what to do,
I'm growing old and feeble, and I can Scout no more,
So I'm going to work my ticket if I can.

I used to be a Venture, and a good old Venture too,
But now I've finished Venturing, I don't know what to do,
I'm growing old and feeble, and I can Venture no more,
So I'm going to work my ticket if I can.

Yes, it sounds insanely crazy, but i managed to go to Gilwell Park at the age of 20 as a Rover Scout/ Assistant Scout Leader (Asst. ScoutMaster). Many have dreamed to come here even after finishing their Scouting Journey. It was a great opportunity. Though it was a 15 pounds trip, i just could not hold back.

Now i shall relate my second off day.

Start of the morning by seeing this group of scout constructing some sort of trench/ well. It was amazing. Lol!

I know i have certainly gone bananas in this Jamboree.
