July 28, 2011

Today, July 28, 2011, simple but a rainy day for us.. it was so fun with the new friends, doing activities with them, having fun, sharing ideas with them
started off with the breakfast in the morning we headed towards the people activity and after that we had our lunch and then we gone towards summer camp for swapping but unfortunately we were in winter :P we even don't know that we were in winter.. we started swapping, finding new poeple for new badges, new contacts and new friends... we swapped with the winter people, took pictures, shared about Pakistan and had fun with them. We roamed in the winter meet new people, tried to learn their language.. after that we came towards our camp for dinner... we made keema, ate it, it was so delicious and made us remember Pakistani Street foods..
after the dinner we again gone for swapping as were were fond of doing that and as it was the start so we all wanted to do all the swapping first :P this time we found some woggles too... it was so fun to be at the World Scout Jamboree 2011...
I must say that every scout must attend jamboree to increase some experience, some socialization in their life..
Thank You.. :)

Camp in Camp


Leave Nothing But Thanks -
Camp Law -
Sir Robert Stephenson Smith Baden Powell of Gilwill

Camp in Camp, a newly introduced event which means you have to do a camp while you are in camping, it sounds really interesting when you say camp, but it is much more difficult to do that, explain that, show that, perform that.
We were told that we have to go for camp in camp, preparations all around, curiosity, excitement, yelling all around, we just wanted to experience what is it, how it is done..
We were told to sit on the bus, the 2 hour drive led us to a new campside, where the germans were there.. they were host for us, they gave a big tent in which Austrians, Itallian, French, Dutch, Japenese, UK People, and we, Pakistani were there... it was a huge black tent.
As we went there, we were asked to made up the dinner, it was a hole digged and some burnt wood were there.. we were so confused that what will happen and what we will do... Hosts gave us a Pan for the cooking and showed us the way for the wood. We gathered some wood, and with the help of German Kid's Ligher, Light up the Stove..
Now it was hurdle for the cooking oil which was missing in our kit :P we went to the hosts and again they helped us in finding that... we made some KABAB's and had our lunch..
after we gone for the activity in which there was monkey band, Friendship band, lizard and much more... i selected the friendship band because I already know how to make some .. but it was a new and tough one with new designing in it.. :|
After the band I go for the Badminton, it was so fun to play with the Norway people, one of them was a really good player..
continuing the day we gone for the volley ball and after that done the camp fire..
The german songs, the Itallian Dance, and ofcourse the Pakistani Aalo Yaante Rocked the camp fire there and the new and awesome was their yell..
"Uri Uri Uri" ... "yea Yea Yea"... Was the best part of that night..
It was so cold and the bugs doesn't wanted us to sleep in the tent.. so we all decided to sing the songs whole night through the fire.. a leader and a participant of UK, Hosts and the Pakistani Sung their songs through out the mid night.. indeed it was the germans who said the good night to all of us in a gentle manner through the beats and strings of guitar, it was the soft and a gentle good night that led us to the sweet dreams

In the morning suddenly some people came in our camp and starting singing, what the mess it was, we all stood up and saw, it were again the germans who wanted to say us good morning in a new way that we had'nt seen... we didn't understand the whole song but the thing that we know is the GOOD MORNING word that they told us ;)
Finally It was time to cook food for the break fast and after that lunch, patrol with lots of hurdle could make up the food in with such limited resources
So hard camp, the hardest time we had but the thing that we learnt is to live in the hardest conditions

SCOUTING ROCKS... !!!

Quest - Simply Scouting



Mindblowing, Awesome, Energetic, Lovely, Struggling, Creative, Dynamic such a great activity planned by the jamboree Team.

We used to see in the POGO Tv Channel the games there to run, jump off the wood, slip in the water, go through the muds, ring the drum, but now it was the time for us to do that so.. It was really a great fun to go for the game that we used to see and laugh, needed concentration, energy, hope, curiosity, and the Team Sprit.. we ran off towards the hurdles which was wood piles about of 4 ft high, we jumped off that so we seen some web like thing to climb on it, as we jumped from that wood height it was the plansic tent by which we've to crawl and pass it on, this wasn't enough so they made a slide of wood, mud and water.. :P in which we splash.. !!! WoowWW.. What an activity it was...

following it we entered into the Maze, alotted a particular time, we've to find the 3 codes there...
the whole team run around, visiting the site, roaming the whole arena, forgot and lost, found something but lost the way, code on the keys.. sprit in the scouts, passion on head, its simply maze.. in which we are being watch by IST team from the tower. :P and guided by them.. finally after 3 activities we got the code to unlock the keys.. :)

it was such a great experience that i can't forget.. it was simply amazing..
ended by the closing ceremony was the dance on "magarita" and Tonight gonna be a good night it was so amazing that in the whole life we canot forget this.. :)
