On Friday, February 29, 2008 and Saturday, March 1, 2008 we went on a camporee. The boys that went are Zach, Justin, Nick, Ian, Porter S., and Porter D. The leaders that came are Brother Weed and Brother Derrick.
When we first got there we set up our tents and sleeping bags. Later on we had potato and steak stew for dinner. After that all the scouts came around and we had skits and songs and other things like that. When we were done with that we just stayed around our campfire and soon went to bed.
The next day we got up and had hot chocolate and cereal. We also had the uniform inspection. We didn't do so well in that. We also did a camp inspection.
Next it was time to start the fun competitions. We got to do fun things like an A-walk where we used lashings to make an A and pulled someone to the finish line. Right when we passed the finish line it broke down. There was also a knot relay where they called a knot and one of us had to tie it. We got full points on most competitions.
We had lunch right after that which was sandwiches and apples or bananas. We then had to build something using our lashings. We all decided to make the monkey bridge. We all had lots of fun on it until it started breaking so we took it all down.
Then we had to go to the awards ceremony but we turned our scores in late. We then found out that if we had turned our scores in earlier we would’ve been able to get one of the first place ribbons. So that means we were in the top six! Soon after that we all had to go home.
