Hi, well  I have been gone for more than a month.

Exams, getting camp ready, exams... and then some more exams.

The bad part is that my exams are not over. In september I still have 5 more and I also have to hand in my thesis... great isn't it? no vacations for me this year.

But exams will not stop me from going to camp. But before heading for 10 days of life in the forest I have to go to take the first leavle of scout leader training for 4 days. I guess it is going to be fun... at least lots more than my books are at the moment.

As for preparations for camp I am in charge of the 24 hours game. seems it is a tradition in every big camp.

The game is going to be just in the middle of the camp. The theme is spys, so the first  day, saturday we are having some mini-olypics to see who can make it to spy training. then monday and tuesday morning the kids are going to learn all sorth of spying and surviving techniques. tuesday morning they are going to have a peliminary mission that is going to get them ready for the big day. Fianally on Wenesday they are off to stop the enemy. And that is where the 24 hrs game comes.

We are going to drop the kids on groups of 6 at different spots about 3 kilometers from the place where we they are going to meet the operation leader.

The kids will have to find they way and while doing so they need to find the different part of a map of the enemy zone and they also have to gather some wood for construction building.

When they reach the gathering spot they will hand out the different part of the map to the operation leader who will tell them that after studing the map he thinks it is not safe to return to the camp, but that to protect the map they will have to build a camp on the spot, and they will need to keep their eyes open so the map is not stolen.

After having done some constructions it will be dinner time. But since we are on a survival mission each cub will need to haunt his dinner. (hidden sasages that will be later cooked by the fire).

Once dinner is over and games have been played and songs have been sang by the fire it will be time for the leaders of each six to get together to decide how turns are going to be taken to protect the map during the night.

Next monrning they will discover that dispite the fact that turns had been taken to protec the map a part of the map has been stolen. The camp will then go on alert and all adults near the camp will need to be hunted.

After having hunted all the chefs the cubs will find in the place of the map a new puzzle. A secret message that the kids will need to figure out to discover that to save the world they will need to stop an attack that is planned for next day.

But that is another story that another chef is taking care of.

to be able to survive the mission each cub will take with him his sleeping bag, some dry meat, an apple, some cookies, water and a lamp.

also each six will have some cord, a compass, a map and a first aid kit.

And of course the kids will be looked after all along the game by the chefs.

So, any sugestions?
