Scout Camp 2021

This is a story about stories, and by that, I mean, a campfire. Specifically, the campfires we held at our campsite.  We did these with the neighboring troop 6282, we are troop 7282.  We were going to have a real fire, but it started raining cats and dogs so instead we went to 6282 pavilions where we performed skits and songs.  Since we couldn’t have a real fire, we opted for flashlights.  We had multiple different people’s flashlights in the center of the pavilion, and we treated it like a real fire. So, if someone walked through or over, we would yell “get out of the fire, you are burning yourself”.  Each troop did 2 songs and 2 skits, we had to improvise because we came with only 1 song and 1 skit; we made up a new skit and song.  We screamed one of our songs which started the other camp next to us to also scream, after that we screamed even louder.  I am not sure if they were battling us in a screaming match but that is just a hunch. After our skits and songs, we got to do other stuff, we sat around telling 3 to 4 urban legends; we had to be careful though because some of the campers were getting scared and then it was also thundering and lightning. 

Overall, it was pretty fun to meet other troops, make friends, have fun, and TOTALLY win that screaming match.
