two weeks of scout camp

The first week of scout camp started on the 5th of july. I voulunteed for a week at 7R scout reserrvation with my dad because i love the lace and my dad wanted to earn his fifth year pipestone. ( camp honors program) I was a blast getting to hang with all my staff friends and making some new ones in the process. The second week i was a camper with my troop at firelands scout reservation. This is the last time i will be camping with my troop and it was a blast too. I met some kids from a troop 345 in loriegh i think and they were cool the one i mostly hung out with was named joe and we had some good times. Especially when i takled him and a container of icy hot broke open in his pocket and got all over his leg and um yeah. Also while there a friend of mine got attacked by ground hornets right in front of me and went to the hospital of course i walked through the cloud of hornets and started killing the ones i could see on him while not getting stung once. I earned 5 merit badges a camp sculpture astronomy animal science plant science and geology. all in all it was a fun two weeks. the next two weeks look pretty jampacked as well.

France

Well i just returned from my awsome trip to france. yeah it was amazing the trip started in Paris were we went to the Arc de Triumph, Le Luv, Climbed the Eiffel Tower and so much more. after Paris was berece (spelling maybe wrong) i loved this town because it was an ocean town and it was really laid back. In Berece i got caught in a rip tide just adds to my foighn near death expeirances in water and the group went around during the music festavil and started singing on a street corner which was so much fun and really cool. spain came next and we pretty much just shopped. Following the $hrs in spain i went to Nieam where i saw the best preserved roman apatheiter and also a aquaduct. The aquaduct was the Pont Du Gaurd and we jumped off of this large rock at the base of it. Some of the group jumped off a huge cliff but my teacher wouldn't let me. long story. next came Nice where i swam in the mederteranian sea at 12:20 in the morning and it was amazing. i felt like i was in heaven beacuase i just was floating and listening to the beautiful sounds of the waves moving the stones the made up the beach i loved it. I also went to a french perfumery near Nice. Monaco was next and i really disliked it except for this one gardin next to the ocean which was more like the woods then a garden and it was beutifull. The trip was amazing and one of the best expeirances of my life. When you get a whole bus full of kids to sing songs perfectly in tune without tring or walking throught acient buildings like castles and doing it al with friends is amazing. I can't wait till i can go back.
