We arrived at the camp site at approximately 11:00 and as this was my first time on a Royal Rangers camp I was surprised to hear some of the kids talking about going to sleep! Everyone tested out the toilets and then pretty much went to bed. We all arose early in the morning to begin the days activities.
The whole weekend was primarily for badge work such as fire craft, first-aid, rope craft, cooking over an open fire, hygiene.
Some highlights of the camp were the Council Fire on the Saturday night, where we cooked marshmallows and Richard told the legendary story about the Sasquatch while Tony did an expanded re-enactment of what he felt the sasquatch was. This sent the Pioneer Boys running off after him into the moonlight, following his moaning for the rest of the evening.
A swim at Somerset Dam was the last activity to tire out everybody before driving back home to meet the awaiting parents. The kids had enjoyed themselves and were all safe and unharmed¢
