Daisies' Camping Trip

Kaelia is a part of the Girl Scout's Daisies group in New Delhi this year, and we just got back from her first camp outing which was shared with several Delhi Cub Scout troops.  Here we rented a tent and enjoyed various activities at a camp, including a ropes obstacle course, rock climbing, and a hike.  Taelyn also got to come along, and both girls loved the ropes course the best.
Kaelia practices the Heimlich.

During the day, Kaelia earned a camping badge for setting up our beds and helping cook dinner overthe fire in the evening.  She also earned a health and safety badge for learning the Heimlich Maneuver; stop, drop, and roll; and my phone number as well as tips to follow if she ever gets lost.

At night, we were responsible for cooking our own food over the campfire.  Unfortunately, some stray dogs got into our tent while we were at the ropes course and ate our food!  All the other scouts graciously gave us some of their food, however, so we were still able to cook and eat.  Then we all roasted marshmallows and had smores and ended the campfire with skits, songs, and jokes.  Each troop presented their own performance;  Kaelia's troop sang "The Ants Go Marching" while Taelyn was able to join in one some of the Cub Scout's skits.
