Scout Camp

18^th June

On Wednesday the scout leader told us that we’d have a camp this weekend and asked Andre and I to come earlier to set up the tents. We arrive at 10 past 1 and one of the scout leader said ‘We are late.’ I don’t know if she was joking or serious because the camp started at 5 and André and I were supposed to be there at 1. Well it didn’t matter because we got all the tents up before any one got there.

Louis brought his own tent which was a 1 man tent. He got the tent from André because he is also sailing and he has no need of a tent. Oh what we just went camping my mistake. Maybe he just doesn’t want it, but anyway when everyone got here the scout leaders told us that the camp would be a Robin Hood theme and gave ever scout leader a new name that we had to call them. If we did not address them at this name we had to run to the gate and back. The one time Andre and I had to run to the gate and back because we were talking, there was tape around the trees at the scout area and André said he wants to race me to the gate and back and he ran straight into the tape and I ended up laughing so much that he ended up beat me.

 André and I thought we should prank Louis and fill his tent up with plastic balls. He didn’t know until we had to go to bed at 12 and he was so angry that he tackled me down to the ground then André saved me by telling him it was both of us. He took all the balls out and through them in our tent. Then we did the same back. After a while it stopped and we tried to go to sleep but our tent end up being an ant farm because there were tons of red ants in our tent. So the scout leader said we should sleep in the hall and sort out the problem in the morning. Louis also slept in the hall because he’s tent had all the plastic balls. André had a good idea he said ‘We should sleep on the tables. ‘I agreed because the ants just might come into the hall this time.

 I ended up helping Louis and André wake everyone up with pots and pans. We spent most of the day building a catapult, bows and arrows, armour which was made out of cloth, and an arrow holder. We had to have all these things at the dinner table; it was decorated as if we were in the medieval except there were menus and in the medieval time people could not read and wright. We had a camp fire and sang songs until our voices were hours. That night we all slept in our tents and André and I stayed awake talking until about 1 in the morning again.

Then finally father’s day arrived and all the kids and fathers vs. each other in pillow fight and had to see who can get more points popping balloons with bows and arrows. We had a round of pillow fight to see who the best yacht pillow fighter, Leo beat me and André beat Leo. I beat Leo twice after words. Then the boring stuff happened, we had to pack up the tents but Louis, André, Leo and I can make anything fun. We then had the long hike home, down the road.

 I got home and André went to his boat and Leo and I skateboarded. We met a new skater at the bar, his name was Christen. We all learnt how to fifty, fifty grind. Then we went back to the boat and I was so tired from the camp and the skateboarding I went straight to bed.
