Scout Camp



I came back From Scout Camp. Yay I'm back!!!! I got a little darker and Sunburned but I'm fine now (Still darker). I did two Merit Badges (because we have five periods and one class wasn't a merit badge and it took two periods). I got Lifesaving(two periods) and Computers (one period) also I did C.O.P.E. (two periods) which is a teamwork and leadership class. I went swimming everyday. they had this thing on Thursday and Friday called the Mile swim. you had to swim in the lake in stead of the pool (cut off part of the lake). So I did the mile swim. I was the only one in my Troop to do the mile swim. we were with 1155 (First Ward) so I dared them to do it too and three of them did it. the way you do the mile is: you have three days to prepare. I started early but didn't know it. you have to swim 1/4 mile (16 Laps) then you have to wait till the next break or day. After you swam the 1/4 mile you have to swim the 1/2 mile (32 Laps). I started on Monday and I just wanted to going the laps pool to play around. Then the Lifeguard asked if were doing 16 laps for the 1/4 mile and that's when I found out. On Tuesday I went to Polar bear. In Polar bear you wake up in the morning about 5:30 and we go in the pool and do some silly stuff the lifeguards tell us to do. also we went on the other side on boats we paddled and camped out there for the night.When we came back we were tired so we went back to bed. we stayed in Pioneer camp Ground and we went to the tents that were already there that we sleep in. I swam on Thursday and the other three Swam on Friday. we left on Saturday at 6:30 and went to Denny's we all had big breakfasts.
