With Anna away it was left to me to run the Scout Day camp on Saturday. We had decided that the Scouts hadn’t been camping for a while but we\u00a0didn’t have time for a proper camp so a ‘Day Camp’ was needed. The idea was to let the Scouts have a fun day on the beach and to use it as a recruitment drive too. Scouts were told to bring a friend in the hope that maybe some of their friends would enjoy it and want to come along every week.<\/p>\n
Plans were made, ideas for activities were hatched. Permission was gained from Natural Resources Wales and all was set. We had orginased for one of the wardens of the nature reserve to take the Scouts and their friends on a nature walk which included some activities too. We had some tools and equipment for making fidget spinners. Tents were to be erected, banners put up, cricket sets, rounders set and boules were at the ready. Cira had sorted out food for lunch, tables, gazebos and shelter were ready to go and I think everything was under control.<\/p>\n
Not only that but it was looking like a gorgeous day. Blazing sunshine, golden sands, very little wind and the perfect temperature. Someone was looking out for us as it’s usually pouring with rain for such things!<\/p>\n
Morgan and I were first at the beach so I popped over to the visitor centre with the various signed permission forms, risk assessments and other paperwork. There seemed to be quite a bit of it for such an event but everything was in place and Catherine the warden was ready to take them for a nature walk later. The beach was looking nice though and the camper looked to be in it’s element.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
