Camp comes to a close...

The last two days of camp, the 5th and 6th August, whizzed by in a flash. The GOLD sessions focussed on the skills required to be a Peer Educator and all the Guias Scouts del Peru girls want to help set up peer education in their regions.

We were also joined by Canadian Ranger Guides from British Columbia. It was the first time the Guias Scouts del Peru had hosted two nations at the same time so it was a fantastic photo opportunity!

On Friday afternoon we headed out to an army camp to take part in an assault course. We joined the Guide patrols and helped each other with the obstacles. Unfortunately half of us came away with minor injuries!

Friday evening's activity was sardines. One person was chosen to hide and the rest of the camp  had to find them in the buildings and grounds. Three of the GOLD team stayed behind to plan for the next day, however this had to be done with a head torch as the electricity was turned off for the game!

On Saturday we had the closing ceremony of camp, where we gave out badges and thank you gifts. We received lots of thanks in return, with an infinity bracelet from the Lima troop and a pin badge from the Tacna representatives.

Following the camp was a fundraising concert and we danced all afternoon with the Peruvians and Canadians. The huge slices of homemade cake were only 50p, so of course we all endulged!
