Friday - Pitch Camp With Our New
Friends From Nottingham
|
| We came in the evening
and had a pretty boring time pitching
camp before going home for the night.
The only thing that was any good
was the excitement of seeing the other
groups for the first time and the
prospect of all the things we would do
in the next week. This was also the first
time we met the 39th & 47th Nottingham
Scouts we were going to camp with. This is them: |

Sunday - International Day
|
|
We were given a challenge, all the
sub-camps had to do the activities scattered round the
site if you completed it you got a button, some
challenges were harder than others. The sub-camp with
the most buttons were the winners, unfortunately the
Victorians won (Boo!) |
| Bucking bronco: the aim was to stay on the bull as went
faster and faster till it threw you off |
Face Painting: most of
our scouts based the designs on Captain Jack Sparrow
when he's in the Indian camp |
Climbing wall
clamber to the top for a button |

Saturday - Strike Camp And Wave
Our Friends Farewell
|
| This was the last day we had a hearty breakfast then
started un-pitching camp. All of a sudden the once busy
street at Charnwood became deserted everyone had to go.
We had the slot between 1and 3 to get off camp we did
that and left the best camp we'd ever done. |
| We left with a fond farewell to our fellow campers
from Nottingham and plans to meet up again with
sleepovers at each others' HQs. |
