On the 27th-29th of May this year, I had my second practice camp in the lead up to the jamboree. It was held in Yaxely in Peterborough and this time the camp was in tents.
Some main key updates from this camp included the colours of our four patrols for our units being decided. I am Hodgkin Patrol which has YELLOW as patrol colour, and my leader is Nessie. Also we met some of the UK contingent crew members, and we got our own chopsticks!
Some of the activities we did on this camp included a long walk, navigated in our patrol groups, which took up a lot of the first day. Followed the next day by paracord bracelet making, ideas for the next camp (Grafham water seemed to be a favorite here), and also first aid training. As well as all of this, there was plenty of time to play games and socialize with our group. For example, on the first night we all enjoyed Disney song bingo (lots of bopping about to our fav tunes!)
We enjoyed a Korean barbeque and mochi which was truly delicious
The one thing I liked most about the camp is how much I got to socialize with my fellow unit members and how welcome I now feel as part of the unit.
