A.P.L of Eagles
We arrived at the scout hall at 9:00 am on Saturday 13th
October. We left about an hour later, to go to Frylands Wood. When we got
there, we put up tents straight away, ate lunch, and then did some bivouac
building. I was with Harry and Ava when we did our bivouac, so Harry had to
instruct us as he had a broken arm. Pretty soon, it started to pour with rain,
and our bivouac fell down (the small part of it that we had made fell down). I
think the other groups bivouacs were a success, and I could tell Ewan’s was, as
his was right next to ours.
After the bivouacs, Estelle, Ava, Matthew and I
started to cook dinner, working towards our cooking badges. We made potato and
meat stuff. While we were cooking dinner, some of the P.L.’s had a go at gutting
and cooking a fish. After dinner (and fish), we set some traps, and then headed
towards the crater in one of the fields to play some games.

We played German Spotlights, and also a new version of man
hunt. This was where a few people had to go and hide, and everyone else had to
search the whole field to find them. It took quite a while to find Subs, and a
few people walked right past him! When we had finished playing games, we headed
back to the campfire to sing some songs, and a leader from another troop joined
us.
Next morning, we ate breakfast (cooked by the same people). During the night it was very cold, later on we took down the tent, it had rained overnight, so we lay them out on a
sunnier campsite so they could dry out. Then we loaded the van, packed up the
tents, then headed back to Streatham. Over all lots of fun was had by all.
