Family Camp Canberra – Apr 09

Over 70 1st Caringbah scout and family members made the long haul down to Canberra to enjoy a weekend camping at Scout Camp Cottermouth. Oh what FUN we had. Some of the highlights included:
1. Blue Tongue explaining how he was finding it hard to find the camp in the pitch black and rain on the Friday night so he chased after a police car, flashed his lights and pulled them over for directions, and then watched them nervously step out of the Police car with hands on pistols! – hilarious.
2. Attending the thought provoking dawn service with 30,000 others at the War Memorial
3. 1st Caringbah and 1st Lilli Pilli leading and marching in the HUGE parade. What an experience of a lifetime. (see Badgers seperate post)
4. Running around at 1am re-pegging and tying down our own and group tents in 45 knot gusts and cold puring rain. It was 4oC the morning after!
5. Dropping down that Questacon slide – yeeeee haaaaa
6. Experiencing a 6.2 earthquake in Questacon.
7. Arrving home sweet home.
What a great camp – see you at the Scout Hike 2009 competition next weekend.
