Prime time


And they're back.

Yes, the Prime Penguins returned to Yorkshire from South Korea in the early hours of yesterday morning and posed for one final group pic before going their separate ways. 

It wasn't the World Scout Jamboree they or anyone else expected.  You may have heard. 

Poor preparation of the event site coupled with a shortage of provisions, record high temperatures and a looming typhoon led to its evacuation after only a few days.

But things were not anywhere near as disatrous for the overall experience as many news outlets would have you believe, at least not for Unit 37 of the UK Contingent. 

After returning to Seoul, they saw many sights from up high...


..and down low.


They ate together. 


They sang together.


And they even had the chance to dress up. 


I'll leave the storytelling to Jamie, who will be more than happy to talk about his experiences - just as soon as he remembers what continent he's in.

But for now, sincere thanks from him and us to everyone who supported his adventure.  We're forever grateful.
