Camp Report
……………………………………………………………………….............
Scouting is incomplete without camping. It is quite true indeed and hence, we here at Don Bosco Bandel Scout Group try to make sure that our scouts are not deprived of this gift. So, we organize scout camps to places both far and near, but yes, never in our school campus. This year however we did not have to organize any scout camp exclusively as this year was a mega year, as this year we were having the 12th National Boscoree at Tanjore, a gathering of Don Bosco scouts and guides, a gathering which we all have been waiting for the past 4 years since the last Boscoree which was held in Dimapur, Nagaland. We boarded our train Coromandel Express (train No: 12841) from Howarh station at about 3 pm on the 28th of December. The journey was quite intense as everyone was excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because they were going to be representing their school at the national level, nervous because they a legacy to uphold. We were greeted with torrential rainfall when we reached Chennai but we did not let the weather dampen our spirits and made our way cheerfully to Chennai Egmore Station from where we had to board a train to Thanjavur. We finally reached Thanjavur on 30th morning and it took us about till 11 am to finally reach Don Bosco Thanjavur, the place where this event was going to be held. The camp was declared open after the inaugural march past, an event in which our boys did exceedingly well and were awarded with an ‘O’ or Outstanding grade. The next day we had a lot of activities. Our first activity on 31st December was the Friendship Game were we had to interact with scouts from other states, our boys took part in that quite enthusiastically and by the end of the game we could see our boys having made many friends from various parts of the country. We were quite glad to see this as making new friends and
