Meeting #30: Camp Planning



Camp Out (CO)



Basic Camper (BC)

6:30-7:00: Patrol Time: We gave each Patrol a blank bingo card and asked them to fill them in with items they need to bring to camp that would be on their personal kit lists. (BC2)


7:00-7:10: Horseshoe


7:10-7:25: Kit List Bingo: I used our Spring Kit List as our master copy and called out the things on it. The first patrol to fill their card would win. I told them to be specific and break things down, but they still ended up with "clothes" on their cards. We explained to them that a kit list needs to be much more specific. None of them filled their cards, so we went with the group that had the most right answers. (the winners got to choose a fancy pencil or eraser as a prize). (BC2)


7:25-8:10: We broke up into three groups to do a round-robin of camp activities.


Station 1: Learn how to do bedrolls and stuff sacks for camp. (CO1)


Station 2: Single use antibiotic packs, which we found on Pinterest and thought looked like something they could put into their first aid/Be Prepared kits. Another Guider prepared this, and I think she found it messy at first, but she perfected it somehow with scoop straws, but I couldn't explain how she did it!


Station 3: Camp meal planning. We gave them lists of foods and cooking methods we could use at camp, and let them pick things they wanted to have. Each group came up with similar foods, but not necessarily in the same order each time, so we'll sit down and figure out from what they want to have, what we will have. (BC1)

8:10-8:25: We sang some songs, including one the Third Years learned when they attended a Pathfinder meeting last week.

We also sang what the girls call "Bubbles". I can't find the exact words we use anywhere though this thread of comments is the closest I've found:
