The 3 day 2 night camp was a memorable experience. It was really a joy!:D
23 0CT:-
On the first day we gathered at the NE square and kept our bags at the Girl Guide room. We formed a human chain from Girl room to the school field to pass down the things needed for tent pitching and gadget making. This was a rather fast and easy method to transport the things. We managed to pitch our tents despite the slight drizzle. After pitching the tents and building our gadgets in out patrols, we grouped into 4 groups to check the 4 levels of classrooms, as part of our service. 
Then, we had our dinner. I would say that this camp food was much better than the previous camps both in cost and taste. After which, we had sing a long, followed by kim's game. For Kim’s game, we had to blind fold our eyes to see how much we trust our friends and test oour senses. This game was pretty fun.
Then, we had amazing race, oraganized by Ashmitha and Pariza. As it was their first time organizing one, they did some mistakes which unfortunately made us stop at station 6 and not 11. For our last station, Pariza and Mona prepared some flour mixed with water and dropped a few sweets in and we had to use our tongue to feel and take it out. After clearing up, we had our shower and then lights off!

24 OCT:-
Rise and Shine. We had our breakfast in the morning. We went to 3 farms as a unit initiative; The Qian Hu fish Farm, Bolloywood vege farm and finally, the goat farm. 
We had a self tour around the Fish farm, where Pariza also bought 2 fighting fish! 
At the Bollywood vege farm, we had a self exploration and i got to see many types of plants. We even brought back 2 guavas! 
Thirdly, and the most interesting, was the goat farm. At the goat farm, we bought some food to feed the goats. Nicole and I accidentally fed the baby goats as we did not read the board and the goat spit the food on Nicole. 
We then returned to school. We thanked Mr Buvan for accompanying us to the farms. We took our bags to the commerce room as the dance girls needed to use the dance studio and then had lunch. We had level planning, each level had to plan a game. The sec ones planned modified amazing race, sec twos planned pictionary. For pictionary, the theme was HSS and Girl Guides, And the winning team was praveena’s team. 
There were restrictions when playing the games as the o level examinations were going on. For the modified amazing race, guides got into groups of their choice and they were quite a few team buliding activities. 
After the modified amazing race, we had footdrill in the dance studio while waitign for the o level exams to end. After the exams ended,we went to play netball at the parade square. After playing at around 6:30pm we prepared for our outdoor cooking. Different patrols had different work and roles to play. Though our food was served at 10pm, due to the moist ground and blowing winds which resulted the fire in not being stable, noone complained. The leaders knew that we wer hungry and gave us biscuits to eat while waiting. Which much co operation, our food was soon ready and everyine had our meal. The food was nice.
Then, in patrols we did our duties of clearing and washed up.
We then had our bath and went to sleep.

25 OCT:-
Rise and Shine.
We had our morning exercise, before breakfast. After having our breakfast, we striked tents and undo our gadgets. After our patrol duties, we played some games and by 12 we had eaten our lunch. 
After our lunch we had a briefing for our initiative with RVSS guides at Tiong Bahru. We grouped into 5-6 groups and went to different to flats and went up and down to collect newspaper. Each group had to go up and down two flats. We earned a total of $130 which was indeed all our hard work of approaching people, carrying the papers, and bundling them up. 
We then break camp at tiong bahru itself. 
Overall I would say camp was GREAT!!
