weekend troop camp organised by larah 28-30/10/2016

Camp weekend for OSR troop organised by Larah at Brockmead near Easter Compton. We all met up outside Skirmish in Hollywood lane ready for the convoy to the campsite as access isn't the best, all in and back out in a matter of minutes. Good job, then on to the tents which the scouts put up themselves and made their beds up with plenty of bedding due to the time of year. Then each patrol cooked dinner even for the leaders plus cake, washed up, wide game, hot chocolate and then in to bed. On Saturday the scouts tackled the low ropes course (blindfolded) built rafts and launched them on the pond, made camp gadgets, cooked breakfast and dinner with sandwiches for lunchtime all followed by washing up, see they can do it! Campfire with sketches, smores, wide game, more hot chocolate and biscuits oh and lots of cake. Then bed again. Last day was full of de kitting all the tents, checking kit lots of cake after another cooked breakfast and washing up. Another game plus rounder's packed lunch and time for home.
