Closing Ceremony

The Jamborette ended on Thursday night with a big campfire.
All of the subcamps processed onto the campfire slope behind their leaders.	Simon Lamb led the camp in a song about a moose with a bad hair day.
One of many songs with motions.	Sandy Black leading the song with motions.
American Scouts led the group in "Dunderbeck", or "Johnnie Verbeck" in their version. Either way, all the rats and cats and dogs will never more be seen...
Namibian Scouts led a song.	Austrian leader led a song.
Spanish Scouts	Sandy Black sang "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road".
A Scout chorus repeated their song from the Scouts Own.	Pipe and Drum band.
The subcamps gave their cheers for the last time...
As the fire burned down, Camp Chief Colin Peters took over to reflect on the Jamborette.	Each of the contingent leaders was given vials of heather and tartan for each of the contingent members.
The Camp Chief and all the subcamp leaders lit torches from the campfire...	...and lined up in front of the Scouts.
Candles were lit from fire from the torches, and the flames were passed back until the entire slope was covered in points of light.
The Blair Atholl Hymn was sung...
As the last verse of the Blair Atholl Hymn ended, the Camp Chief passed across the field in front of the group. As he passed, the candles were blown out, so that the field went dark from one side to the other...
...until the only light was on a lone piper.	The Scouts filed back to their camps, while the leaders went to the reception at the Staff Club.. and the Jamborette was over.
