Photography Night
As part of their photography badge, and to try and break up the monotony of having me bore them to death with lecturers about shutter speed, aperture, ISO, depth of field and common problems with photos we had the Scouts try some Forced Perspective and the Light Writing shots. Here are the results.

Camp - Beaudesert
26th, 27th and 28th Sept we went with 14 Scouts to the Beaudesert camp site.
The Scouts were split in to 3 patrols with each one having it's own fire and food prep area.
This was also the first camp we have done using proper old patrol tents rather than lightweight hike tents.
It took a while for some of the Scouts to realise that they need wood for a fire, or at least to realise that they keep needing more wood and that once lit a fire won't just keep burning.
On the Saturday we had the Scouts (most of them!) gut a fish for their dinner. The screams and noises they made were quite amusing, but a few of them really fought their fear and did brilliantly. A few of them seemed to enjoy the experience just a little too much. We also had them walking on Cannock Chase.
Sunday was better with the Scouts finally seeing what was needed and understanding that putting in the effort to get things sorted meant that they, and us, had a much better time. Lunch was potato, carrot and mince cooked in cabbage leaves and wrapped in foil and cooked on the hot coals. This was enjoyed by most Scouts far more that Saturdays fish dinner.
Overall we had a good time and hope that the Scouts did as well, as well as learning a few skills they may be able to use on a later camp.
