hi,

Anyway recently i had this really big scout camp, it was really super duper good!

Arrival day:

I got there at about 10 in the morning, most of the tents were already set up and the kitchen fly's were set up already. Later when everyone got there, we had a mini parade. During the parade we introuduced ourself to the troop, got our scarves and got our name tag. Our troop was made up of 4 other different troops.

After parade we got assigned into our patrols. I was with the same old person who was my patrol leader in my home troop =.='. In our patrols we put up our troop gate and the social area's at the front. We moved in to our tents. That's basically the end of the arrival day.

Day 1:

Today was cold. I had a stomach ache for the whole day...which sucked. In the morning we went to Toe Tag Challenge. It was a CSI thing and we were the detectives it was AWESOME!

After that we went to laser tag, yes LASER TAG IN THE BUSH i was like OMG but it was really laser tag. Like Dark Zone which was AWESOME!!

My tent-mate Indra, still had a really bad stomach ache after dinner. I fell asleep and when i woke up it was 10:00pm and Indra had vommited in the tent. It smelt ewww but i couldn't see any vomit so that was good. But Indra went to the sick bay and i moved out of that tent because it smelt bad!! and i would be alone in the tent. So i moved into the first tent for the night.

Day 2:I woke up, and i was so cold. Indra was back from the sick bay. She was so much better. Today we were meant to be going to Pelecon Point. We had to be on the bus by 7:50am!! At Pelecon point we did Raft building, Canoing, Scenic boat trip and volleyball. I didn't like Raft Building, it's so hard, because we all have to spread out the weight evenly!

The Canoing was so fun!! I paired up with Indra and we started off literally CRAP! The speed boat helpers, had to come rescue us like 7 TIMES. But then we got better and we were good enough to be in the Iron Man challenge. When ever they saw me they would say "there's the best canoists on camp!"

Day 3:

Today we had Abseiling!! OMG IT WAS SO FUN!! We went at 9:00am. I TELL YOU THE HARDEST WOULD NOT BE GOING OFF THE EDGE (although that is a little scarey) BUT THE HARDEST BIT IS CLIMBING UP THE LADDER, IT'S LIKE 15 METRES HIGH!! argh...it doesn't sound high does it, but it is..it's MASSIVE!! I had 2 shots at it, it was so much fun!!!!! We returned just intime for market day. Market Day was where we had to set up our front "social areas" as a sort of market. We sold things with fake money! It was so much fun. The troop with the most fake money won the prizes. WE WON!! WE WON THE MARKET DAY PRIZES!! FUNKEY TOWN WON WOOPEEEEEEEE! We kinda were jumping for joy and all.

Days 4:

This morning we went to Hathi's Hangout which was quite a walk actually. It was on the other side of the campsite completly. There we had to build a tyre pully. It was so hard, but we got there in the end. After Hathi's Hangout we went to do some Crate stacking on the oval. Crate stacking uses the same wall as Abseiling just it's on the side. It was so fun and i was onto my 16th crate and then i was like ah i cant do this anymore, because i was so shaky, i mean i was like litterally shaking!! My patrol leader got 22 he broke the record of 20 at campwest. But that wasn't his Personal Best, his PB was 23 or 24 crates! wow. In the afternoon i went to the Frat Tent and made a badge, and a pom-pom. Unfortunatly Jason killed my pom-pom.

Day 5:

Today was the last day. In the morning we went off-site. We went to the Byford Recreation Centre. We had so much fun there. I did rockclimbing there, high ropes and beach volleyball. The centre looked so new it was a really nice place to be. Later when we went back to the campsite. We went to have lunch then we went to Ariel Runway, which was also on the other side of the campsite. We had been there before, earlier this year with just our troop. It was so fun though. We had 1 go and then we walked all the way back to Down Hill crash. I really liked it when we got pulled up by the ute to go back up to the top of the hill. We just missed the Hump Back Taxi's but we got the sticker anyway :P The closing ceremony was awesome, it was just a shorter version of the opening ceremony. At the closing ceremony someone got their Australian Scout Medalian and he wrote something on my scarf! His name was Joe and he's so lucky! His sleeves were like Bri's they were full of proficiency badges. XD

Well that was all about my Campwest trip. Sorry it was a little late, but i have been putting it off, i was kinda lazy. ^^" Sorry and i'll try to write in here more often.
