Sleeping under the stars

When the Brownie Guides go to camp it usually involves a large cabin with a kitchen, working bathrooms and bedrooms filled with bunk beds. However, this past weekend we braved the elements and slept under the stars without tents to raise money for disadvantaged and homeless youth. 

The rain has been constant these past few weeks and the girls were extremely worried that their outdoor camping experience would be cancelled due to rain. Luckily everybody was snug and asleep in their bedrolls before the rain began and so we did end up sleeping outside the entire night! Luckily almost everybody remained completely dry - a credit to their bedroll making skills (thank goodness for duct tape!)

This is definitely an experience they will remember for years to come.
