White Watch.
On Friday the 27th of July the
cubs went to Broadstone Warren for summer camp for 8 days! First we went on a
hike. It was great fun but a bit tiring. Then the beavers came to camp, but they only stayed for one night.
This years theme was Ancient Greek Olympics, and the 4 teams were, Sparta, Athens, Corinth and Megara.
With the Beavers we did a course on the low
ropes and none of the Cubs or Beavers managed not to fall off. After lunch we went outside to work on our
Athletics badge. We had to run 1000 meters
non-stop. My sister Claire (a Beaver)
came third, beating most of the Cubs including me!
After they left we split into two groups
and went rifle shooting, and we did archery.
The instructor asked us not to aim at anyone else’s head….
We went on a treasure hunt and when we came
back we played a game. Later we play Push Ball, the ball was huge, bigger than any of the cubs.
Over the week we did lots of other
activities like climbing, and built Umbrella rafts, which all sank!
On one of the days we went to the Lama Farm, were
we got to stroke and feed the lama’s there. They were very friendly. In the evening it was raining very hard so we couldn't play out, so instead we build catapults out of bamboo and elastic bands, with a jelly pot as the shooter. We fired ping-pong (table tennis) balls at each other for hours. It was brilliant!
Overall the camp was great fun, and we all
enjoyed it very much and can’t wait to go on the next camp!
