Today, we headed to the Scout Hall for a sleepover. The initial plans were to sleep in tents on the grass area. However, the weather was not playing the game today. Extremely windy and a LOT of rain.
As a result, the decision was made that we would be sleeping inside the hall, instead of outside in tents.
Even though the weather was generally terrible, there were periods that allowed for activities to happen. As a result, we still managed to cover how to light a fire (and keep it going), cooked food on a BBQ and some games inside the hall to burn some energy off before bed. Everything that needed to be done outside was completed before the hail and strong winds came back with a vengeance.
We did have activities to do while inside of the hall. The leaders had back up plans for the indoors, for situations such as this. It was a part of their training, that they need to have a backup plan in case things happen (such as bad weather on camp).
It was not long before everyone was bedded down and asleep for the night.
