Scout Camp 4

This scout camp was the best and I'll tell you why. At the beginning it was a long drive I tell you, and while on the way Tyler and Brad threatened me to ditch me on the side of the road and leave me for the carnivorous chickens. When we arrived we made our very own shelter, and after a meal of hot dogs and hot chocolate, we played capture the flag. Most of the time I was a 'warning system' which meant I alerted my team if there was an intruder on our area. Many rounds later we walked to the other side of the campsite, and there i fired my first flare. After many people shot flares we settled into our shelters (which by the way was pretty warm) and dozed off. After a rude awakening by morning cold and loud cannon shots we ate a nice breakfast and then it was fun and games. The first one was sort of a worst-case scenario where a guy was injured (I was him) and we had to make something that will carry him to safety once we done that we had a race. My team had to drag in the 'device' and get to the finish first before the others did, and I won! Next was archery and my aunt said I could try to beat Grayson's record, and I did. Next was building a fire. We had to burn a piece of string before another team did. I grabbed sticks, dead leaves etc. and once again I won. Next after that was the obstacle course it was long and exhausting but we made it through eventually. Then was my favourite pellet guns there we fired pistols, snipers, rifles etc. and it was fun. After closing ceremonies we packed up and left.
