Kells Scouts go camping

11 April 2015

With the bevers out friday night the scouts decided to pull a fast one and have a one night camp on Saturday the 11th the next night. Being hardy scouts they meet in kellys by the scout den and hiked 30 meters to the field across the road.The 14 scouts and 3 leaders were doing the camp as a practice run the the country shield which is a competition held each year between the different scout groups.It is only the scouts that take part with leaders supervising. Although we are not taking part in this year's shield the leaders though it would be good training for the future. The scouts were split into groups .the leaders decided to volunteer some scouts for cooking duties (those least likely to poisen everybody yes I do mean you Effia among others)the rest set you the tents,fire and build a table for 18 people out of wood and rope In high spirits they sat down to homemade chicken curry and rice with not a sausage in sigh. After dinner it was time for fun and games and a chat around the camp fire with went on till nearly 1 am. The following morning with yes sausages cooking and tea on the go it was a very relaxed group who broke down their camp and sorted away the bags. There was just enough time for Tommy to make sure his hair was perfect before feedback from leader's on the camp and then home time. Join the scouts for the time of their lives
