Description

A lively group of fifteen London Cubs set off on a bright, bustling train for a week‑long adventure on a green island off the coast. Their journey takes them through countryside vistas, past an ancient castle, and finally onto a bustling harbour where they glimpse historic ships before stepping onto the Isle of Wight. Along the way, the excitement of new sights, the camaraderie of song, and the anticipation of camp life create a vivid picture of childhood wonder.

Each evening the Cubs gather around a glowing candle, listening to stories that blend the everyday with the heroic deeds of saints. These “candle‑light stories” become the heart of their camp experience, offering lessons and imagination that linger long after the fire dies down. The book captures the joy of those nine unforgettable days, inviting listeners to share in the laughter, discovery, and quiet moments that shape a young scout’s memory.
