Explore: Life Skills

People have the mistaken impression that you go camping by throwing a few things into the car, driving there, doing activities all day and someone else has set up the shelter for the night.

This system may work one day but I have never found it to be so.  Life skills are something that excludes exporation of mistakes, celebration of successes and then evaluation of what went right, was done right in the wrong circumstances and what failed miserably.  Next time things will be better as one experience builds upon another.

Campcraft acting

The Guides are numbered in their patrols. All no. 1's come to the leader who tells them a camp activity. They return to their patrols and mime it. The first patrol to guess correctly wins. Then no.2's go up for a different activity.

Examples — blowing the fire, knocking in a tent peg, making your bed, getting into bed, hoisting colours, campfire, breaking colours, washing up
