Arriving

When the brownies arrived they chose their beds and Mums and Dads helped to make them.  The Brownies then made place mats, badges and bed labels, all with this years Toy Story theme.   

Exploring the camp

After lunch, we went for a walk around the site, to explore the woods and find out where we were staying.  We saw a deer running through the trees.  Next we played the famous potato game, with potatoes peeled by the brownies for the shepherds pie.  Each Brownie takes a turn to throw her potato into the saucepan of water, and chooses another Brownie to stand behind the saucepan, who gets wet if the potato lands in the water.  This year, for some reason, several Brownies got bruises on their feet!  

Free time?

In the afternoon the Brownies started making paper mache on balloons.  They put on the first layer of newspaper and left them to dry.  Free time was followed by shepherds pie for tea and fruit salad with squirty cream.  After washing up, Brownies started making mobiles.  

Woody Drive

Another popular game is the themed beetle drive, this year the Brownies took part in a Woody Drive.  It was very exciting and Brownies shrieked as they scored their 6 to start.  The winner earned a tremendous 174 and scored 2 points for her six.
