My Campout

Last weekend (September 26-28) I went on a campout called the Boyscout Camporee. The campout started on Friday when we left at four in the afternoon. We arrived at five and started to set up camp. By the time we were done, it was dark out. We had dinner and then went to bed. The next morning, we got up and had breakfast then got into our scout uniforms. At 9 we went to a flag ceremony and then went back to camp to wait for the rest of our troop to show up. They arrived at 10 or 11. We then helped them set up their tents and then went out to do this little challenge course out in the meadow. We did 3 of the 6 challenges because the group refused to do more. When we got back we set up a game of capture the flag for some cub scouts. Later we had to stop because someone stepped on a wasp nest and 4 people got stung (One person got stung 5 or 6 times). The lead scout (Sheridan) went and hid in his tent when this happened. We had a great group campfire at night with all the Boyscout troops and did funny little skits. The next day we packed up and went home.
