An unusual community mission of One. Between being a working day and summer holidays, I was the only one representing GoodGym at the Pinkney's Scouts today.

The lorry with the camping gear arrived just after 10am and it was 3 of us for a while - Callum, the young Scouts volunteer, Ian the driver and me. We had managed to unload nearly half of the lorry when a swarm of parents came to help. Turned out they had been told 10:30am instead of 10! The sudden increase in number of hands meant the rest of the lorry was finished up in no time.

Friday workout, done 💪

We had loads of fun this morning helping the Pinkneys Green Scouts pack up their kit for camp. We arrived in the rain, but spirits were not dampened. Far from feeling tent-ative, happy campers Sol, Jess, Viv, Jen and I were all ready to pitch in!

Jess deserved an ice cream after arranging all the safety cones and Viv had an in tents experience carrying canvas and poles.

Having two left hand gloves didn't stop Jen from carrying all the right things.

From toilets to tables, cooking equipment to backpacks - we helped shift it all from the hut to the lorry. It was a lorry lorry fun and a good workout too.

Sol also saved the day when there was an oil spill in one of the fridges. She said, 'Oil sort that out!' and set to work. She's not afraid of a bit of (t)oil.

Thanks to PG Scouts for having us! Lovely to meet Scout leader James and lots of Scout families, who were also helping. We hope to return on the morning of Friday 1st August to unpack the lorry when the Scouts return. Save the date now!
