Scout Camp

On Friday the 15th of March I went to coastal scout camp at Riverton. When we all got there we had to set up our tent, beds and unpack. There was an opening ceremony after we set up camp. Then we had tea and went to bed. 

The next morning we had breakfast and drove to a secret beach on a farm and went pauaing. I found and got two. All together we probably got 35 paua. But we had to chuck out 5 or 6 paua.  When we finished pauaing we had a snack and drove onto the beach. 

When we thought we were in a good spot we parked up and got out. We got the flounder net and untangled it. Then we got into the cold water and dragged the net through the sea . In our net after our first pull we got a green bone fish. We pulled one more time I was at the deep end of the net where the big waves were. I got sucked under water when huge wave came with another huge one following it. I got sucked under for longer. Then we pulled the net out of the water. We caught nothing at all. 

After that fail we had lunch and went for a walk down a road. At the end the road we stopped and climbed over a gate. On the other side was the beach. We mucked around and a leader lead us the wrong way down the beach so we turned around and walked the correct way. We all started to play on huge rocks. The leaders stopped and watched us all climb and play on the rocks.

When we got back to camp we got in our togs and walked to the beach. We split up into two groups. One half went kaiaking and the other half built rafts. When they finished building they tested them. One of the rafts went out with four barrels and came back with one barrel. 

For tea we had the paua that we caught. After tea we watched our skits and went to bed. In the morning packed up. Then we had the closing ceremony and went home.
