A Camping We Will Go

This weekend my eldest went off on his first cub camp. Made me very nostalgic about when I went camping as a Girl Guide... I remember collecting wood for the fire and scrubbing cold porridge out of big pans (there's no way I'd have agreed to do that at home!).

Someone always seemed to trip over one of the guyropes. This weekend I noticed some of the newer tents had fluorescent guyropes... what a good idea...they're much easier to see in daytime and especially as it starts to get dark... so no more excuses for tripping over them!

Talking of being seen, all the cubs went off on a nighthike on Friday and were well kitted out with their BrightKidz fluorescent, reflective waistcoats - custom made in green with dark green edging and their scout group logo printed on. Afterwards they had fun with torches by shining on each other's reflective bands when they played 'wide games'.
