I was in scouts for 12 years, and was a girl scout leader for a short time.
The last year of girl scout camp, I was a councelor, and I was a councelor in training for three years before that, so I pretty much just hung out with the councelors. In one of my campsites there were two rattlesnakes we had to live with for two days until Grommit(the mantinence man) could find them and relocate them.
We called bears coconuts, and the sex jokes were infinite about EVERYTHING. My first day working there I was attacked with cold water and pudding during dinner by my camp director. The second day, when my friend and I went to the back of the kitchen to eat our second helping of cupcakes away from the kid's view, we saw a vat of frosting. Naturally we filled my hand with it, then I walked up behind my director casually, and smashed her face with it. It was awesome.

I still have my brownie sash from 12 or 13 years ago in the back of my closet. And the good thing about the peppy ones: If they're the ones to try to wake you up in the morning, you can throw things at them, and then blame it on your sleep-addled mind and tell them you didn't really mean it. i still have the whole uniform, socks and all. oh, and our camp was two weeks long, and we slept there the second to last day. some of the luckier older girls got to sleep in the friendship lodge. i remember we had to sleep in these cabin/tent type thingies. all the girlas fought to be in the center away from all the spiders. i was one of the littlest, so i ended up having to sleep next to the wall next to a terrifyingly huge spiderweb and it's inhabitant. i'm not sure how it happened, but in the night i managed to roll over three girls to get closer to the center. and tere was a slew of tinny little frogs in our camp that we tried to catch and not step on. there was also a counselor initiation the night during the bonfire. she was blindfolded and everyone made it out to be like she was jumping off a picnic table into the lake. it was really only a bucket of water. her face was priceless.

I hate being short. I'm always stuck at the wall, too, when we camp out on my friend's farm. And I'm the designated spider-killer, because Daish (the one with the farm) doesn't care, and Cy screams and digs her fingernails into the bit of flesh closest to her (unfortunately, that's also usually me).

Heck yeah! We made rope beds, hanging a meter and a half off the ground. The coolest camp was the one we made triple bunk beds, complete with ladders to reach each floor, and an extra bed for the luggage. It kicked so much ass.

The only cool thing I've done at a camp was drive to my uncle's place and get on the new flying fox he made...

What's a flying fox? All I can picture is a red, furry animal leaping off the ground....
