The second training camp took place in the middle of nowhere, on a hill on a gloomy weekend. However it didn't put us all off as we braved the rain and reunited as a full unit once again. After the set up of camp, wide games on a hill became very interesting and maybe a little violent. Who knew disqualification came in handy with wide games? The green team battled the red team, Ali and Kev's patrol against Steve and George's.
By the end of the evening bruises had been acquired and so had the severe case of the yawns. Our beds were calling so we were sent to bed and the camp was quiet by 11 .

The next morning, everyone emerged ready for breakfast, kindly cooked by Steven's patrol before settling down for the days activities, designing a gate, designing the units merchandise and talking about ourselves.
Whilst cooking mystery dinners in our patrols we were informed of a rainstorm hitting the area in 10 minutes. Rush hour hit the campsite as everyone worked together to bring all the equipment used for making our lunch into the sheltered area so it wouldn't get washed away. However little did we know that this flash flood would mess up all of our tent arrangements....

After we had all eaten very unusual and interesting dishes, Steven announced that some tents had been flooded by the rain and therefore couldn't be slept in or any of the kit inside the tent used. We all nervously ran out to find 5 tents had been flooded and we proceeded to try and make new sleeping arrangements for the night.
Tea brought another dose of Steve's special seasoning sprinkled over the meat which was the cooked on the BBQ with meat toucher and bucket boy on hand to help. Earlier in the day, the four patrols were told to produce a song/sketch to perform in front of the Beaver Scouts and Brownies, who were are neighbours on the campsite for the weekend. After tea we met round the campfire for an evening packed full of laughter, loud voices and the gentle crackle of the camp fire. Our host for the evening, Charlie started off the campfire with a sketch called 'Little Red Guiding Hood'. After that songs like Princess Pat and Charlie had a pigeon were sang including the penguin song where the Brownies outshone us to our glory! Once again after a busy day the yawns we passed throughout camp like a contagious bout of the flu.

Sunday morning came too quickly as breakfast was made, camp was packed up and goodbyes were said once again. Another camp was over and our experience of a life time is getting closer and closer....
