Jia Hui's Campfire Reflection

Campfire reflection

4th june 09 Anderson clover guides campfire was an exciting and busy day.
The theme was Bon Voyage journey around the world. Everyone was getting
ready the final preparation to be done and getting all the things ready for
inspection. I feel elated that our efforts paid off and the campfire went
smoothly. The structure looked wonderful, it was really shaky but I like it
alot. The first time I went through was was really scared but I enjoyed it
and realised that it is very fun and i went through it many times. Im sure
everyone was super happy and hyper that day. There were alot of
screamings and cheerings going on. I cheered as loud as I could but
thankfully I did not get sore throat. I loved the games part, it was quite
humourous and entertaining. Not forgetting our own dance too, it was quite
nice too. I like the structures hung in the hall, it was colourful.

The preparation part was tough especially when the sun shines in and everyone
was perspiring. I feel tired. Everyone had to help out in her patrol or assist other
patrols which needed help. There was much to do. I had to run errands to buy the
required things, help other patrols to paint,wash the paintbrushes, paste the
letters etc. My hands and shoes are stained with paint with a few specks
here and there. I have learned alot of things teamwork for example in tying
the poles and structure and removing the gateway. Tying the poles to the
bench requires one to hold on to the pole and one to tie the knot tying the
structure also requires help from others. Removing the gateway requires
many people's help and alot of teamwork. We had helping hands from
others too. It scared everyone that we had to bring down the poles from
such a great height but everything went smoothly. I have learned to take greater
responsibility and help others whenever they needed help. This campfire was
certainly a memorable experience for me.
