We began the day with a "Scouts Own Service" at the campfire circle. The original plan was to go rafting and tubing down the Aar river into Bern, but the trip was cancelled due to the recent heavy rains -- river was too high. Instead we decided to spend a day in Thun, a city between Kandersteg and Bern. Chris found out that the city was sponsoring a barrel organ (drehorgel) festival which made it seem even more intriguing. So off we went to Thun. We returned in time for dinner and build our usual fire at "Uncle Sam's".
