Kells Scouts - Camping in Portlaw

07 July 2015

We had our group camp in portlaw recency so here's what happened We arrived in port law with the cubs and the scouts on friday night about 7.30 we are staying on a farm this time there are about 50 us camping tonight so there's lots to do After the tents were put up it was discovered that the scout leader tadhg had the smallest tent that anyone had ever seen,he was very confident that it was a great tent and would do him grand but was proven wrong (especially when his feet stuck out the door and while trying to get into his sleeping bag that night his leg cramped up and had to be helped out of the tent).So intresting facts about that night Burgers are great at 12 o clock at night .Leader's snore at night very loudly. Grace thought that the old tree house had people living in it . Some of the girl cubs kepted everyone awake till 1.30 am with their talking and then woke everyone at 5.30 am again .leader's vowed revenge as the cubs had even woken the birds. That morning after cereal scouts cooked breakfast for everyone Sausages,rashers and eggs with tea for everyone. Now it's 10 am and all the girls are off to football leaving poor old Ashlinn as the only girl scout left in camp (she was fine ). everyone gets one piece of fruit and we are off for a fun hike.We are back at 2 pm and scout leader Claire had arrived in camp before us and had soup and tea on the boil, I for one was never so glad of a bowl of soup .Thank you,Thank you,Thank you Claire.The girl scouts have arrived back and Ashlinn is delighted. After a break and a run around the playground it's time to get organization as the Bevers are arriving to spend the second night with us We are expecting 28 Bervers and it is a big night for them as this is the first time most of them have slept away from home in a tent before and also meet the scouts, although they have met the cubs. The scouts have set up alode of games for the cubs and Bervers to play, it's raining but nobody seems to mind as they are having so much fun. Afterwards it's time for chicken curry and tea a great mix .Free time for a while and then it's down to the shed where mountain rescue have set up to do a show and tell. Next it's time for a camp fire and a couple of hours singing and entertainment with Bevers,cubs,and scouts all joining in . It's 1 am and its time for hot chocolate, burgers and bed night everybody!!!!!! It's 6am Sunday morning and not a sound can be heard well expect for Scout Leader Aidean who is getting ready for a bit of revenge on the girl scouts that keep him up all night Friday . We're going on a early morning hike and off he goes with the poor girls some of the Bevers who were awake went with them .For the rest of us it's time for breakfast and then free time for a hour .Aideans back and after everyone eaten it's time to breakdown camp and get ready for home .Other bits that happened on the camp were as follows 1.Scouts went on the go-karts when ment to be working and got into trouble (Ashlinn ran away screaming). 2.We had rhubarb tart 3.Timmy got kidnapped bit was ramsomed back for a slice of toast 4.Ciara sat in poo 5.Scouts decided to sell fruit for free? 6.There was a horrible smell in one of the tents but it turned out to be Masons socks 7.Bervers love camping and sausages 8.cubs like sleeping with there friends in tents 9.Scouts can sing and play the guitar 10.Bervers and cubs love the scouts 11.No one will every wake Aidean early morning again, And that's it till next time SCOUTS FOR THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES
