This past weekend, 22 - 24 January, Kay did her Springbok Camp at a VERY wet Arrow Park in Benoni. Over all it was lots of fun and a great learning experience as this also doubled as the troop's Kontiki Prep camp.
The majority of the camp was spent building structures needed for the campsite at Kontiki but there was also an inter-patrol cooking competition and all the girls completed Water Biologist badge which included crab fishing (and yes, we did catch a crab).
As I stated earlier this camp was very wet and by Sunday 75% of the land was under a thin layer of water and as a result we were walking around barefoot on Sunday as shoes (other than wellington boots) were a bit pointless.
Preparations for Kontiki are looking good as all the girls are clued up as far as pioneering goes - we are also excited for Kontiki as we will be building and decorating an octopod in our campsite.
Well done to all the girls on a sucessful Prep camp and achieving their Water Biologist badge and well done to Kay for planning an excellent troop camp.
