Arrival and First Day at Camp

Hello everyone! Jen and Nicholle here at the Media Center in the main square of the camp. Our first day has been very exciting. Our plane ride was reallllllly long and mostly everyone, or watched Harry Potter! Once we landed we had our first injury, Jen got a severe nose bleed and Thuy-Linh got in trouble for getting more tissues while we were taxing into the Copenhagan Airport. Then we had 2-hour bus ride with NO AC, we rode with some scouts from France and Hong Kong. We walked a mile into our campsite, and started setting up, luckily our tents were already set up so we just had to rearrange them. We ate dinner at around 9, with the sun still up, we had hamburgers and stir-fry and rice. We met a bunch of people from all these different countries and some of us have already started trading neckerchiefs and patches. We had to sleep at 11 though, even though it was only 5pm Eastern Time. Some people had trouble last night just cause of the time changes.

This morning most of us woke up at 5 or 6 just because we couldnt sleep, and we also woke up to rain(It's still raining as we type this) and the sun comes out at 4:30. We had delicious omlettes for breakfast and also some oatmeal. Today we're going to start building our Dutch Oven, and pioneering some other things. We have opening ceremony tonight! It's gonna be crazy!!

Hope you all dont worry about us too much! Love and miss you guys! More updates coming soon!
