Region Brownie Camp Day 2

In the morning we had a Guide Zone which is like a mini church service where we think about all the things that we have and thank God for what He has provided. We went through a time tunnel and then looked at photos of things now and what they had to use in the years before.
Then we collected sticks and bark for our campfire.
We spent most of the day doing different activities in our groups.
We made little crumpets / pancakes on Buddie burners.
We made pet rocks. Mum was the leader for this. At the end of the day she made a little pig for Dad and called it piggles.
We decorated photo frames.
We got to dress up in old Brownie uniforms and have our photos taken. We will put the photo in the frame we made.
Once we had our photo taken we played a game that they would have played years ago.
We got to sit in a a canvas tent and learn about different things like camping in the rain. We learnt that if it rains you must not touch the side of the tent cause the water will come in.
We got to decorate a biscuit with icing sugar and sweets and then we made ice cream. I loved doing that. We got to eat our biscuits for afternoon tea and we had our ice scream for pudding.
We went to a play ground area and we went on a really fun flying fox. It went over that little pond and our feet touched the top of the plants.
There was a rope swing. This area was called the Confidence course.
We made little owls because we learnt that Brownie leaders were called "Brown Owl".
There was karaoke where we had to sing into a microphone and see how good you can be. The words were on the TV. I sang "The Dancing Queen". We watched Mama Mia before we went on camp so I was glad to recognize some of the songs.
We got to go to the Scout camp and see all the things they had made. My group even got to go across this bridge.
We had to make up a skit for the camp fire. None of them were very good though although the campfire was lovely. It was nice to wear my campfire blanket with all the patches on that I have collected.
After the campfire we got dressed up in costumes and we had our photo taken. Mum has put a red circle around my face.
Then we had a disco. They gave us glow in the dark sticks that we made necklaces or bangles with. It was so much fun.
