BSA troop 223 holdt onsdag aften åbent hus, med alt hvad den kan trække. Menuen stod på hotdogs og underholdningen en ren tour de force gennem den amerikanske historie.

Underholdningen bød på et heftigt drag-indslag, og for en kort  stund var troop 223 udvidet til også at have 3 pigespejdere. Tilhørerne kvitterede høje klapsalver og høje latterbrøl.

 nye amerikanske venner.

BSA troop 223 har tradition for at besøge Danmark og sin venskabsgruppe, der er KFUM-spejderne fra Ensted. Første gang, der var besøg fra USA var i 1979, og derefter har de to grupper deltaget sammen  i samtlige Blå Sommer-arrangementer og Spejdernes Lejr 2012.
 Spejderne er begejstret for det danske køkken. Blandt andre Paul, der aldrig har besøgt landet før. Han er vild med den danske mad, selvom han synes den er svær at lave, opskrifterne er lette at gå til, men eftersom han er uerfaren i et køkken, bliver han dagligt udfordret.






On Wednesday BSA troop 223 had an open house evening with everything – with all included. The menu was hotdogs and the entertainment was a pure tour de force through the American history.

Amongst the entertainment was a hard core drag show – and as such troop 223 had been extended with 3 guide members as well as boys for a short while. The audience replied with enthusiastic applause and loud roars of laughter.

BSA troop 223 has a tradition of visiting Denmark and its friendship group, the YMCA-scouts from Ensted. The first visit from the US took place in 1979, and since then the two groups have joined up and participated in all “Blå Sommer-arrangements” (DDS national camps) and Jamboree Denmark 2012.

The scouts really like the Danish cuisine. Amongst them is Paul, who never visited the country before. He loves the Danish food. He finds it difficult to prepare even though the recipes are easy to follow. He is however inexperienced in a kitchen, and hence challenged at his cooking skills every day.
