All all-laagri (sub-camp) groups say thanks for their meal in different ways at the Kotkajärve köök (kitchen), including traditional songs and unique hüüud (cheers). The hundud (cubs) definitely have the noisiest expressions of thanks: they have sent vee/raketid (pressurized water bottle rockets) shooting off into the sky and have also grabbed pillid (musical instruments). Showing off his trompet (trumpet) prowess is hundude all-laagri juht (head of cub camp) nskm Peter Türk with abi-juht (head assistant) Marcus Tamm looking on. Another co-leader, Sirli Arumäe from Eesti, has her kannel (zither) along. Stay tuned for more originality.  Photos and texts: Riina Kindlam
