GSP CAMP

Informal Theme #3

Blog #3

            This year’s GSP Camp has a theme “Empowering Girls Make Difference”. From November 4 up to November 5, we stayed in school doing several Girl Scout activities. Early in the morning (November 4), the registration already started. I helped Maryel and Mrs. Arceo because there were lots of sponsors who need to register. After the registration, the Investiture/ Rededication started. The girl scouts uttered the oath and promise in unison and even did the break claps to entertain the guest speaker, Hon. Irene Bencito. She gave inspiring words that touched everyone’s heart.

            We had fun games afterwards. The game “Animal Kingdom” was really funny because they were blindfolded and they find their group mates through sounds of animals. I and Eunice really laughed a lot because there was a freshman that keeps on finding her group mates and she was really far from them. I was the grub master among the GSP Staff so I went to the canteen with Jezza to get our lunch. We had lunch in the GSP Room with Ma’am Mae and Ma’am Juliet. After eating, we readied ourselves for the next activity which is the orienteering. Troops 1-7 raced and showed their skills in knot-tying, trail signs and different physical activities.

               At night, we had the campfire and the spiritual night. A pastor showed us a presentation telling how awesome people are and also a part of the film “Passion of Christ”. Some really became emotional and cried. Ma’am Bisa also read some verses from the Bible. After that is the presentation of each troop. Some did jingle interpretative dance and a skit about the theme. We were the last to perform. I think I just slept for one and a half hour because we prepared the ribbons for the awarding the next day. I just can’t sleep that time. Early in the morning, we had exercise. Next, we had a session about cervical cancer. The last event was awarding. Of course! Before going home, we cleaned the GSP room and stayed there for a while. We were really thankful because the camp was successful. I went home very tired and happy that I experienced this wonderful camp.
