• Before you leave to go on camp check that everything you need for pitching the tent is there.  Also check on the condition, number and suitability of the tent pegs, poles, fly, mallet and guys..  Once your camping it is too late to run to the shop and buy more.
• Choose the place to place your tent. Avoid areas that are not level. Also consider placing the tent near but not too close to some shrubs to help keep the wind from destroying your tent site. Clear any debris or rocks from the area.
• Place a large piece of plastic sheeting or a tarp over the area where you will be erecting the tent. This will help keep ground moisture from seeping into the tent. Also the imprint of your feet will lessen the wear and tear on the ground surface or the tent floor.
• In at least one of the corners secure a tent-peg into the ground.  This stops the tent upper from being blown away while you are pitching it. You then lessen the chance of ripping the nylon as the poles go in.
• Assemble support rods. Depending on the type and style of tent the number of rods varies. Assemble all rods before moving on to the next step.
• Slide support rods through the pockets on the tent. In most cases these rods will go over the top of the tent to form a half circle.
• Complete the raising of the tent by securing the end of the rod into the hole or socket provided near the bottom corners of the tent.
• Using a mallet secure the tent in place by knocking the tent pegs into the appropriate places. Most tents have holes or brailing ties that should be used to anchor the tent to the sactual tent pegs.
• While erecting the tent have all tools or equipment kept near the tent bag.  Thus avoiding loss an accident possibilities.

Activities

• Outlined

Over the last year there have been various activities at different levels within the Districts Guiding life cycle. Some activities have been at the Hazelwood South Hall others based through the real Youth and Gipps Guide program. Then of course there has been what the District team have involved themselves into.  These activities introduced the Guides, District team and families and friends of all involved to the different facets of Hazelwood and Churchill Guide District Guide ‘campfire 2010′.

1. To start with there was the creation of a calendar date.
2. Then came developing the interest in the Guides themselves. Choosing the songs, action games, music [offbeat] dance and there actions/ acting and voice things were done through the Guide program.
3. Occupational Health and Safety measures were shown and implemented through the program with the Youth members. Discussed and reiterated with the adults attending. These measures included fire safety [of both the fire and the candles used] as well as cooking preparations.  What clothing was right to wear around on a cold night with fire near by.
4. Creating a bonded group of participants the were willing to engage in other activities that complimented the Youth program.
5. The ’belonging’ factors were encouraged, along with Unit identitfication.  Overnight stays, chosing of flags per meeting time which were visible upon entry to the campfire area.

The result of this one campfire night hopefully is an intersted group of youth members wanting to include a traditional [but spiced up] type of campfire into other Guiding activities.

 Plaster bits from the mould ended up on the floor.  Later to be cleaned and put in the bin. As the plaster had spent do long in the moulds sometimes the moulds edging broke.  This could have been age as well as some of the moulds are over thirty odd years old.  People have brought them from opportunity shops or had them in their cupboards and handed them on as their families leave home.

Plaster moulds were washed with hot bubbly water.

 As the Guides needed a break they went on to challenge game. Some kept at the challenger game others went back to the painting of the moulded plaster casting.

Then came putting the plaster in the other chocolate moulds.  This dried and the next time they all met the Guides then spent time painting the plaster casts.  There was plaster every where on the tables and chips on the floor.  The Guides were good about the mess the activities made as they were cleaning up as they went[to a point]
