I'm an explorer scout get me outta here - scouts owns

We all came to camp in November

Hoping it would be a time to remember

Ignoring the squawk of the retarded donkey

We set up our tents in the dark all wonky

 

We found out our first challenge was a hike

Blindfolded and dumped in the middle of the night

We had a compass and a map to find our way back

We didn’t take long ‘cos we stayed on track

 

We stayed awake to the early hours

Discussing how Beth likes her showers

Stumbling out of bed in the early morning

Yelled at by Adam without any warning

 

Bleary eyed and tired with hot tea in a flask

We gathered in the classroom to find our next task

A tightrope challenge across custard in a pool

If you fell off you’ll look like a fool

 

Joanna was a beast, she remained very calm

Jess panicked and flung herself in Adam’s arms

We were all laughing and standing about

As Chloe fell off and Elly wimped out

 

Next came the hell holes with bugs in a mixture

The looks on their faces was really a picture

Hands in the box with crickets and more

Feeling for stars that unlucky four

 

Millie freaked out but Jess got stuck in

Connie just screamed while Elly had a grin

Next came the questions while stood in the shower

If they got it wrong they got covered in flour

 

The four of them were covered in muck

They found that the gunk in their hair just stuck

Ollie didn’t like it and had a strop

But in the next challenge he came out top

 

Remembering things in a box is what they must do

A plate some rope and elephants times two

Stars stuck in jelly in the bottom of a bowl

Covered in water that was really cold

 

Get the stars with their teeth while trying not to choke

Millie was too eager so the bowl then broke

The water then poured all over the floor

There was so much it was nearly running out the door

 

Next came the challenge that was the worst of the lot

To get any points they gave it a shot

Rachel chundered and the rest felt sick

They grabbed for the water and drunk it down quick

 

Later Tim was keen with his campfire songs

We all just laughed and the sang along

Matthew wowed us with his amazing hymns

He taught us that god forgave all his sins

 

We stumbled to bed as the day came to an end

It had been a really great weekend

As we packed our stuff underwear was found

All dirty and soggy lying on the ground

 

No one claimed them what a surprise

Someone here must be telling lies

I guess about that we’ll never know

But now we’re packed and ready to go

 

And one last thing we want to say

Is thanks to the leaders for two great days.

We have all been on explorer camp

And now we all look like tramps

We met some donkeys called Harry and Ed

We gave them hay and patted their head

Each of us did a trial

Some of them were really vile

Rachel chundered and got in a mess

Adam got a lovely big hug from Jess

Verity did a massive poo

It was so big it blocked the loo

Or was it Simon who overflowed the toilets capacity

Lewis’s obsession, “Oh the audacity”

James got angry about some peel

In the end they made a deal

Molly thinks that Jamie is dishy

Everyone thinks it’s rather fishy

Our mascots were Jonty and Baby                                                                                 

Connie left her pants – maybe

Today is the day we have to depart

At least now we don’t have to smell Verity’s farts

Connie told everyone to go away

But Verity decided to smile and say “get out of my life”

Camp was good

Camp was fun

We had sausages in buns

Washing up

Drying up

Ollie got drenched in muck

“It was gross, I hated it

And the goggles didn’t fit”

Getting on

In a team

Ellie did the balance beam

The tightrope was between the trees

Rescuing animals in the leaves

Connie’s challenge was quite mean

Connie couldn’t help but scream

“AHHHHHH”!!!?

Rupert the cricket was my friend

But Beth the cricket met her end

One weekend without the telly

Beth put her face into the jelly

Had to wash out every bit

She couldn’t get her teeth in it

Molly had a bit to eat

Not as bad as Vev’s feet

The ox tongue and the jellied eel

Made them all want to squeal

Camp was good

10 out of 10

Please leaders take us again.
