Wow - very proud of Braid Potter patrol AKA South East 4 who won the Camp Chief’s Pennant today (Thursday) at the 40th Scottish International Patrol Jamborette at Blair Atholl. As a bonus the Pennant was presented by Dwayne Fields, Chief Scout, who was visiting the camp. Each daily winner of the six Sub Camp Pennants, awarded to the best Patrol at inspection go forward for the Camp Chief’s Pennant. This is then awarded to the best of the best Patrol. There are 84 patrols at the Jamborette.
