Warwick and Stanthorpe Today are pleased to introduce our newest contributor, WILLIAM LISTER. From this edition forward, brothers William and Jeremy Lister will regularly contribute columns to both papers.
This week, William shares his recent Joey scout camp experience.
On the weekend I went to a two night pirate themed scout camp at Clifton.
We left Stanthorpe after school on Friday and it took all night to drive there.
When we arrived I had to wait and play games with my friends while the scout leaders were putting up the tents for all of the scouts. We went to bed very late.
On Saturday morning we got up really early and had breakfast early. Then we got into groups and we did a walk.
My group was the red group and I was the only Joey aged scout and the only person from Stanthorpe in my group.
When we got back from the walk we did rock climbing and after that we built ships that were made out of cardboard boxes.
We did races with our cardboard boats and our boat fell apart. Then we did a war where we threw plastic balls and our boat fell apart even more.
And what happened was the rear end fell apart and one of the sides fell apart. And then we got into bed and watched the Goonies.
We had a great day but the Goonies was scary.
On Sunday morning we did lots more fun activities. On the way home we stopped and got McDonalds and played in the park at Warwick.
We had a great time at scout camp.
