Day 42: Scout Camp Day 2

Today once again I woke up in my tent at scout camp day two. Some people got up and went out to the yachts because there was a lot of wind, but by the time I got up there was no wind. Everyone came in for breakfast, which was pancakes, at about 8.30am. After breakfast there was a lot of wind so everyone got up and raced out to the yachts. We sailed for about 2hrs before the leaders called us in for scout's own. We were all anxious to get back out there but we had to do scout's own first which went for 10mins before we were allowed back on the yachts. We sailed again for 1hr before morning tea. Afterwards we were all assigned to a job to take down the campsite. I was assigned to take down the latrine. After I'd done that our group had to help with the shelter for the food. Afterwards we went back to the yachts for another 3hrs before having to de-rig them. It was sad to see being hauled into the trailer after having so much fun. Dad turned up to help pack the yacht trailer. All the kids had to pack up their own gear, the tents and the trailer. After everything was packed we were allowed some free time before we left. Half an hour later we left for the scout hall. When we arrived, we helped put the trailers away and then waited for parade. When parade started we all, stood around quietly while the leaders did what they had to do. After parade everyone' parents turned up so I decided to go back to the caravan, have a shower and get a good night's sleep.
