A SCOTTISH ADVENTURE
Hi, I'm Nildd, and I'm a scout The Scout Association is a
popular club for boys and girls. There are nearly 4000,000
scouts in the USA, and more than 400,000 scouts in the UK.
Around 30,700 of those are gisis.
This weekend, my scout group is going to go to the Scottish
mountains. We aren't going to stay in a hotell The teachers have
got small tents, but my tent is large-six scouts are going to
sleep in it! It rains a lot of time in the mountains, and it's
sometimes stormy there, too, but I hope it will be sunny this
weekend!
It's going to be fun! We're going to go for long walls, and make
dinner on stoves. We're going to cook lots of rice and
vegetables. We won't have any junk food, like burgers!
