Volunteers on camp
Hi there.
After 19+ years it was rather strange for me to see someone else in the same predicament I was as a mother of a young girl.
Yes I probably was as weary then as you are today. It was for this reason that when we moved down to this area and our oldest actually started camping through girl guides that I became involved as a parent on the camps that both daughters of our were attending. A good and positive side to protecting our own young I felt then and still do now. I thank you for your open feelings.
When you are ready there is a way around this predicament you find yourself in. Yes I hated having the feeling of 'betwicx and between'. You know what I mean.
The simple way of satisfying all is choosing to staff on the camp activities. Simply you fill out the Guide Centers Police Check and a seperate Working with children's check which takes several months.I notify Guide Center that you would like to volunteer. The volunteer coordinator phones you and you confirm your restrictions on volunteering.
You then work as a team member for just that/those activities of which you have a voice in their design, implimentation etc.
Note: there are restrictions re males attending camp/overnight stays. Some parents have issues with the opposite sex being involved.
I actually found that I got a great amount of laughter, fun and rejuvination from the camp team volunteering I did.

Not an over whelming response for overnight stay March 2010
March 19th 2010 there is planned an overnight stay.
Activities
include making their Promise for several Guides. Some craft from four World Center Counties. Researched while at the Library on the 18th.[patrol activity] and while attending the Multi Cultural Festival Saturday 13th march 2010
Night activities,
Making Bubbles on the reserve under lamp light, Guides Own,
Acomodation was inside. In Tents.
Camping is not just going there and setting up tent, mucking around and going home. There is a lot of pre-planned and post-camp work that goes into activities like this.

Tents, team work, camps, and life skills learned on the Hazelwood South Reserve
The Hazelwood [South ] Hall is right next to a public reserve. The Guides of the Hazelwood and Churchill Girl Guides use this reserve area to practice putting up tents. Although the Hazelwood [and Churchill] District has both moder lightweight tents when leadership and team training re camping is required the older canvas kitchen flies and canvas tents come out for erection.
When the Region camp qualification camp, the Ev Graham camp, is run the Guides rope off an area in which to physically view where they have planned to utilize their camp equipment on the site size requirement.
Team work is important as without a semblance of planning, order and working together the camp moral is deemed low enough to close the site.
When working with outdoor camp site plans a large area is required while the Guide are kinesthetically shown so that the patiently learn the skills required.

Set up a flag pole well.
Knowing how to set up a camp flag pole so that there is no danger of it falling down, or being in the wrong spot is something that can easily be learned by watching, trying and doing.....then doing again another time. On a slightly breezy day having time to watch you flag flap in the breeze is a good feeling. Knowing that that same breeze will not sent the pole sideways is even better!
One real trick to this is learning how to erect the flag pole and having a good grasp of background knowledge and experience. this will include knowing how to choose the right pole, the site, the size of the flag, the weather conditions, having the knots just the right tautness, tied in the correct spot, and of course having the appropriate knot tied for the job.
