This camp out it took us about an hour to get there and about another 45 minutes to get everything set up. Everyone set up their tents next to the shade or under trees, then we went hung out for two hours and played football (american football) and Frisbee. Then we were called to the main camp where all the adults were sleeping and we discussed what we were going to do for the day. For people Tenderfoot or below they did the totin chip, and for people who were doing the pioneering merit badge or who needed the requirement tied knots and lashings. This took four hours to do so. When we were done we got the fire going and started to cook dinner. By the time everyone finished eating the sun dipped under the horizon and it was night time. The darkness didn't stop us from playing Frisbee and climbing trees. After that we had a troop bonfire and told stories and jokes. We also had a scorpion problem and unfortunately one of the scouts got stung and had to be sent home. We wrapped it up and went to our tents to go to bed. Some campers stayed up and talked and others just closed their eyes and hit the hay.

The next morning we all wok up and smelled the crisp morning Jordan air and started a fire to cook breakfast. Omelets, Pancakes, fried potatoes and bacon and eggs are some examples of what we ate for breakfast. After we finished breakfast we started to clean up and pack up. We all started to take down our tents and put the leave no trace slogan into play. We definitely left the place better than we came.
Well that is our camping trip but their are more to come and more scouts to have fun.
