Scouts in Frankfurt






Well parents, you would be amazed and impressed with your youth. Your kids have been embracing and exploring the German culture and countryside. I have had the pleasure of seeing their maturity and willingness to embrace new things. Here are just a few of the things they have accomplished:







  • They have explored ancient churches and sat quietly in a chapel soaking in the ambiance.



  • They have ably navigated their way around the transit system of a foreign city not knowing the language.



  • They have order authentic German food in restaurants including bratwurst, sauerkraut, schnitzel and strudel (think strudel was their favourite)



  • They have even sang songs while walking through a German market with all eyes examining these strangers from abroad.
All in all it has been a great few days and I am proud of their accomplishments. These Scouts are representing Canada very well.

On to Sweden!
