53rd St Barnabas Scout Group
Cub Program Summer Camp Platania 2009
Day1
We arrived at camp in Platania, then we got ourselves in our tents and we
had to put our beds up. Then we had lunch, faggi and chips which i didn't
like. Akela then helped us with our gates, fences and notice board. I made a
shoe rack with Arthur and Nick. We had dinner, fish and chips and we had a
campfire. The campfire was hot but we sang a lot of songs and saw many
sketches. My favourite one was the potato sketch by our venture scouts.
When we finished we went to bed.

We spent 45 minutes preparing for our hike to the Waterfalls. During that hike we crossed the river about 50 times and Mac kept falling in the
river. When we arrived back at the campsite we continued with our star and badge work. At 7 we had dinner and then had an early night so
we could catch up on our sleep from the previous night.

Day 3
We woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning, we went on parade and we had breakfast. We ate eggs, bread, halloumi
and drank hot chocolate. I really liked the breakfast. We put our full uniform on and we had flag break. When we
finished flag break we came back and stayed in our tents waiting for all the parents to arrive. I didn't go to the
picnic area with the other children because I was on duty. When we finished our duty the leaders bought us
Coke and Sprite and a packet of sweets. Then we had lunch, kleftiko with potatoes and salad. When we finished
lunch all the children started to arrive and they said goodbye to their parents. We then went to the flag pole and
we spoke to Akela as we wanted to decide what sketches to do for the next campfire. Once we finished talking
about the sketches we told some jokes. Akela then asked us to have a shower. After dinner we watched a film. It
was a fantastic day because we had a lot of fun.

Day 4
I woke up at 6 in the morning, then I went for Exercise, came back and we had breakfast, coco
pops which i liked. Afterwards they called us to get ready for the hike. It was very nice, some of
us got scratches. Then we did Artemis major trail hike which was 7 km. We saw the sites from
all over the island. All the ski-lifts look funny without snow. On the way down we stopped at the
Troodos visitor centre and watched a film about Cyprus wildlife. Then we went back to camp
and we made our poster for road safety and others made a poster about how most people
crash on bicycles. We then had dinner and played football. It was really fun. The other team won
but we all had fun. At 9:30 we all went to bed. It was the best day we ever had!

Last day on Camp
This years Summer Camp was once again very
busy. Well done to Akela, Yolanda, Mastou, Grace
and Tracey who work very hard to keep our Cubs
busy enjoying Scouting for the 7 days. Hight lights
were the 7Km hike around Olympus, building bird
boxes and the cycling trip. It once again makes me
very proud to see members of the 53rd having so
much fun.
