You are invited to come and be a Trainee Leader on an SU team in 2010! Basecamps in 2010 are part of COmMISSION, SU Scotland’s short-term mission programme. If you are in S5 or S6, or over 16 and have left school or are in College, this is your chance to take up the challenge of Jesus’ “great commission”:
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28: 19-20).

Here is your movie trivia quiz for the day: In which famous Scottish film were these immortal lines uttered? "I like to do something special on a Saturday night."
If you don't know the answer you'll have to come along to the Tron Basement on the 30th of January and find out. And while you are there you'll also get a chance to meet with a lot of other people (some of whom might even know the answer?) who are taking the chance to catch up with their mates from SU holidays and weekends away.

It's me again. I'm exhausted - but oddly content, sitting here writing this, stuffed full of burgers from the team BBQ which has just been held to celebrate the end of a tiring week of Holiday Club.
At Basecamp B I had felt a bit insignificant - I was only going to be a trainee leader at a morning holiday club, whilst most people had practical placements on SU Holiday camps. I was so wrong to feel belittled. Holiday clubs have something that SU Holidays lack. PRIMARY ONES!!!

I love going to SU camps. I enjoy doing different activities; kayaking, crate climbing, winds surfing... I look forward to midnight feasts snuck secretly into dorms (As a new trainee leader it is my duty to tell you that food is BANNED from most dorms at camp!) and I like trying to sneak away from leaders when it's my group's turn on washing up. But what if I were to suggest to you a camp without any physical activities? A camp where midnight feasts were not only frowned upon but were lectured about? A camp where those on duty were expected to clean dirty dishes without complaining and instead ENJOYING themselves serving others?!
Yeah, I know. Sounds crazy. It was a camp designed to turn a bunch of teenagers into trainee leaders - no wonder it sounds so strange...
