Charlene's Campfire Reflection

Anderson Clover Guides, Annual Campfire 2009
Bon Voyage, Journey Around the World

This year’s campfire was yet another success! Yay! J My patrol, Oriole 1st, was in-charge of doing fire. And so, the usual procedures took place…proposals and ideas, proposals and ideas…and finally, we decided on one idea. However, due to the SA1 period, we stopped work to concentrate on our studies and we only started on the prototype after the SA1 period.

Due to unseen circumstances, we could not find the fan for your fire. So, we decided to use improvise. We used metal wires to make out the shape of the fire and used twine to cover the sharp edges, however, in the end, the structure was still very flimsy. Meanwhile, I asked my patrol to go and help out at the other patrols while me and Qianci figured out how to solve the problem. However, still we could not figure out any solutions.

Nevertheless, we still managed to make the fire with the help of the seniors. We used the previous year’s fire structure and improvised from there. And so, that was our fire for this year’s campfire.

Overall, the campfire was very enjoyable and I enjoyed myself, though most of the time was spent guarding the fire. The atmosphere in the hall was very high which made everyone very ‘high’ and thus, making the whole event a meaningful and enjoyable one indeed. Everyone’s hard work and efforts had paid off! J I’m sure everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously that night.
