Camping

Dick and Cat wanted to go camping. Dick asked Bonnie. Dick asked around, then somehow the word got out and it was a CAMPING TRIP.

Which he's okay with, really. He doesn't get much chance to hang around with other kids.

They pick a spot a good distance from the bar, near enough to the lake that washing and swimming can happen, not so close to the forest that demon bunnies are a severe threat, and set about pitching a camp for the weekend, or whenever they all get bored...

Dick rather likes the patrol tents bar provided him with, because they're similar to the kind of tents he practically lived in at the circus. There's two - one per patrol, although anyone who wants to bring their own is probably welcome as well.

And then there's the camp gadgets to construct: washing up stands, bedding racks, clothes lines and so on.

As suggested by Bonnie, someone's got to draw up cooking/cleaning/fetching wood/defense against demon bunnies rosters. That's where patrol leaders come in.

[One thread per patrol? Can also be used for patrol meetings like... picking a badge, choosing a second, idk.]

Need to practice knotwork for your pioneering badge?

Constructing a climbing frame for the same?

Making a raft?

Practicing First Aid?

Dick didn't really know that any of this counted as CAMPING stuff, but when he told Alfred he was going camping with scouts at a magical bar, Alfred assured him all these things would happen.

It is not a camping trip unless someone gets hit in the eye with a ball or stays hiding for at least 10 minutes after hide-and-seek has ended.

As soon as the sun starts to get low, a space is cleared a little way away from the tents and the fire is set.

Time for foods, sing-songs and above all... ghost stories.

ssssssssssssssssssssssh everyone is asleep.

There's no one staying up late and whispering to each other, we promise.

All good things, and so on.

Just like every stop on a circus tour, camping trips have to come to an end at some point. And this means striking tents, dismantling gadgets, and making sure the fire is raked away.

Leave nothing but footprints...
