Camp 5
Camp 5: 2/3rd Dec Methodist Church hall Maidstone.
Day 1
This was a meet up camp so all three units were there. We signed in and put our stuff down and joined everyone in a hall upstairs. In the middle of the hall a group of people were playing with a parachute. Others were sitting on a stage talking and catching up. After everyone was there we were told to write our names on stickers and then go to designated halls. Admirals were down stairs. We were put into groups and again I was a leader. We had to decide on songs to sing in the karaoke. We watched the show the leaders had put together out of our pictures and films. We then had to decide how to present it to the other groups. We had facts about Highlands Park, about the penguin bin, and information about the pictures one quote was, ‘A picture of someone taking a picture of someone taking a picture.’ It worked out fine. The other units did songs. We then had an information presentation. The advice we got was sleep whenever you can and don’t stay up too late, or we’ll never make it through the Jamboree.
Once these were over it was time to meet… SANTA! We got a bag with sweets, UK Contingent necker, badge and a pin badge. We ate the sweets and carefully put the Jamboree things in our bags for there is only one necker each.
Karaoke time! The songs that were sung were:
Bohemian rhapsody
I’ll be there for you
Grease Lightnin’
Summer Lovin’
I feel like a woman
Now onto the disco! OMG! It was the best disco I have ever been to. It was just out of this world. Just before the disco we played pass the parcel and everyone was covered in stars so we all glittered. It was amazing. But because we were in a public place we couldn’t party until the early hours of the morning. So at about half eleven we girls went up stairs to bed.
Day 2
We awoke at half seven because at eight we were going to start leaving to make our way the swimming pool. On the way we had to fill in a sheet. Unfortunately by the time Admiral left it was tipping it down with rain so the sheet got so wet we couldn’t write on it. My group met up with Ben’s group and we wasted our time in McDonalds and had competitions of who could swallow an ice cube first. We made our way to the pool after about three quarters of an hour. By the time we got there we were soaked through, so going in the pool would have made no difference. In the pool boys were having diving competitions and girls were watching, but myself and a couple of others passed the time in the lazy river.
On the way back it had stopped raining and the sun was shinning. We got back and arrived to fish and chips. After everyone was full we got our stuff ready to go and went to a presentation about some of the things we were going to be doing at the Jamboree like Starburst, going off site for a day and doing community work. There were prizes given out and then the news we’d all been waiting for. We were not going to Malta as was planned we were going to Geneva instead! It was almost certain we were going. After the presentation we picked up all of the letter and Christmas cards and made our way home. Truthfully I didn’t want to leave.
