Late night tent conversation 🌌🏕

[ember dock]

«what happens in camp stays in camp» and «what happens in the forest stays in the forest» are two very used phrases used by scouts. Now tell me some of your experiences or incidents based on these, it can be anything : relationships, camp drama, dump things you did your leaders never knew about and moreee.

all that happens is me and my best friend will talk about the most dumbest thing and then the leader will walk up and say "gentlemen i believe it's past lights out"

[vagrant gate]

Yea lol, me and my friend will be yapping about something dumb, or weird out of context and then we will usually hear somone cough or something and then go to bed

[viral lagoon]

the deepest philosophical conv are cooked at silent creepy nights

One night me and boys discovered the method of getting a relationship

On my Bronze DofE practice someone in my tent was watching breaking bad until 3am.
On the qualifying we kicked him our of our tent and made him carry his own

Not my tent but on a district camp there was 6 people in a 3 man & at 1am after half an hour of warnings, a heavily pregnant leader (one of the ones who you don't mess with) came and got them out of their tents, walked them to the flag pole and made them stand at attention while she was eating mcdonalds while they got their leader

[north anchor]

i once cried at a camp during and after a ceremonial fire one night. one reason was my kids i did lead made their cub promises, the other is that it was really emotionally exhaustive camp and i just broke down. thats i think the only time in 9 years scouts seen me cry. it shouldnt be though

[raven flower]

@north anchor has leveled up! (9 ➜ 10)

[dusty light]

even better was that the leader they got was sleeping with his pregnant wife with their group on the other side of the campsite. so he was pissed

[ember dock]

Well this is not a story of mine but a friend i have who's in another troop was in camp a few years ago and he was in the shower. Ang guess what. HE FORGOT HIS TOWEL IN THE TENT🥲 and nobody was around to go and bring it to him. The rest is pure history

[dusty light]

i'd have just put on my clothes while wet and gone and gotten it

[ember dock]

This is so bad and funny in the same time😭

[dusty light]

it was great fun listening from our tent since we knew the pregnant leader who got them out of their tent, so when we heard her voice, the torches went out in all the tents from our unit :P

I'm on that camp as staff this year, and i'm half hoping it happens again :P

[ember dock]

We all love some good camp drama

[dusty light]

yup, I've witnessed projectile vomiting from 9pm to 5am, piercings done in bathrooms and a bit of arson

[ember dock]

That's epic🤣

[dusty light]

yup

[ember dock]

I have a pretty bad experience too... Me and another scout had to wash the pots that the food was cooked in. Now let me get to the worst part, the thing they made is called "arakas" and it has a lot of oil in it and i absolutely hate it 😭 it tastes bad in my opinion

[dusty light]

We had the fat incident on a camp, ended up with fat/grease on a electrical wire in the air

The sausage incident was on a surival camp, and they couldn't be bothered to cook it properly

The percing was done by sterilising a safety pin with a lighter. The person passed out :P

[ember dock]

And it is very messy to clean up. Also the sink was clogged and we accidentally dropped the pot inside . Out of all the places that dirty water could splash it splashed full force on me. It was truly disgusting and i was washing my clothes and necker in the bathroom for two hours🥲

[dusty light]

heh, it happens

[ember dock]

Is the person OK now?

[dusty light]

oh yeh, he's fine, that was 2 years ago now

[ember dock]

Oh i have another one too

Last year in camp we had a fox that was always stealing our slippers and we met it every night when we were on watch. One night my friend saw it with a slipper in it's mouth and she just grabbed the thing from the fox like nothing happened

🤣

[dusty light]

always a good one

[ember dock]

Also in the dining hall there was a picture probably from the 70s or 80s of a group of greek scouts and a groop of soviet pioneers posing in front of both of the countries's flags in this camp. We first mistaken the soviet flag for a Chinese one and when we looked closer we were like"Oh Ma GaD SoViEt UnIoN"

[ember dock]

This is a brutal one tbh

[dusty light]

It's the levels, it starts off with that, then the civility decreases every time they come over :P

[ember dock]

Yes🤣

[viral raft]

idk if i can tell this story tbh

[ember dock]

Spill the teeeea

[raven flower]

@ember dock has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[ember dock]

Here we listen and we don't judge

[ember dock]

I have a genuine question

WHY?

Why would someone do thatttt???😭

[undone night]

What..

[viral raft]

Yup….

[viral raft]

I feel toy

You*

[ember dock]

Like bro... This is just too much for me to handle

😭

[viral raft]

Same

[lucid valley]

There’s plenty of people in the server I have been in the tent with
I’m not telling anything here 😂

[balmy hare]

Serious question incoming. I'll try and mark it as spoiler, trigger warning: substance abuse.

||Any of you guys that learned to deal with trauma of parents with addiction? From 14 to 25 I basically took care of my father throughout his addiction to alcohol and I get so intensely triggered by people who say they're an alcoholic for fun because they had a couple of beers for like a few consecutive days. Sometimes I want to talk to people who have been through this just to at least get this off of my chest||

[ember dock]

That's rough i've never came across such situation personally but I'm here to listen to whoever needs help and give some advice. @balmy hare you can freely share
