Moose Shorten - 12th Hackney - Day Nineteen
Today we all got up late and got ready to visit another church as part of the 'My Faith' badge. When we arrived at the church, everyone was really welcoming, including the Baptist Preacher. They were all a bit like the members of the church where our Scout Group meets! I didn't really enjoy the whole thing, mainly because I didn't like the things that the Preacher was talking about. It also went on far too long! After church we all went up the I4 to Disney's Animal Kingdom. When we arrived, we headed straight for the main attraction - Everest. This is a roller coaster which has lots of twists and turns, goes backwards and is really bumpy, really enjoyable. It was probably the best ride on offer from Disney. When we left the park, we went home to a dinner cooked by Ola, Melisa and Charlotte (they were doing their Chef's badge). PS. Thanks for the cold food! A varied day of interest, to say the least!

Joe Wood - 12th Hackney - Day Twenty
We woke up at 11am today, feeling really tired. We had just had about six continuous days of non-stop activity! We had a cooked breakfast and then jumped into the van to go shopping! The time went really fast. I bought three t-shirts, two from GAP and one from the Disney shop, before we knew it, it was time to go back to the house to get ready to meet the American Scouts. We changed into our purple polo shirts and set of. When we arrived the American Scouts had ordered 25 large Pizzas from Pizza Hut for us and some of the mums had made cakes, trifles and non-alcoholic punch - it was a really nice treat. We then challenged the American Scouts to a game of soccer; I thought our team played a bit rough. We all had an opportunity to swap badges, scarves and even our Scout Shirts after the game. I got an American Scout Shirt, a scarf and a load of badges. I had a really enjoyable evening. I hope to meet them again one day.
