Day 17 - ICSP @ Camp Grimes

Crazy Hat Day today!
The campers of this week had more crazy hats than last week. Actually, there was a troop which could win the name of "the most CRAZY troop!" I guessed their troop leaders did. When they took off their hats, everyone had a new hair cut! All the boys! Wowwwww! One boy had a "water course" hair cut (about 5 cm wide) crossing from his forehead to his afterbrain. One boy only shaved his hair for one side of his head. And, one boy with Asian face had his head like a Japanese Samurai. Hahaha! To get along with his purple and fuzzy hat. So cute!

Morning class
You bet. I was supposed to teach First-Aid this morning, but we had knots and fire making eventually... Fine, I had a good time today with kids. The kids needed to show us how to make a square knot by using the EDGE method.
E=Explain
D=Demonstrate
G=Guide
E=Enable
Some of the kids were really good at teaching, although they were only 10-11 years old. I was very touched by two kids' conversation then. One of them was too nervous to show me the EDGE, so I said, "relax, and I will go back to you later, okay?" The other boy, who had shown me the EDGE, came to him and started to teach him how to make a square knot. The teaching lasts at least 15 minutes, I was very impressed at the guiding boy's PATIENCE. That's awesome! Finally, the boy learned how to make it with any help. The guide and I were cheering for him! I gave them a small gift from Taipei Confucius Temple. There were some good phrases (in Chinese though) on it. X的，手殘把後面原本打好的英文稿刪掉了！我的天哪！好，反正，孔廟小卡是要鼓勵他們一個是很棒的小老師；一個是很認真不放棄學習的好學生！至於這麼好學生後來我才了解他才剛成為童軍，什麼都沒學過，所以完全對技能沒有一點經驗，我一直鼓勵他繼續嘗試（他後來還學會了雙套、雙半和營繩），希望他不要因為這些小挫折回去以後就再也不當童軍了！

*和其他童軍聊天，有一位團長曾去英國的世界大露營，他說他很喜歡該露營，我真不敢告訴他我很後悔付這麼多錢去那裡......XDDD
*有一位小童軍七月也要去瑞典世界大露營，到時候見了！
*營地工人群中有一位擁有三顆木章，簡單詢問後了解，美國木章取得制度和台灣差不多：兩階段露營、一大堆作業和承諾要做（１８個月內要完成），然後就能取得！木章制度基本上全世界都一樣吧？

傍晚降旗典禮上終於把所有的＂梗＂都用掉了：場上說話的人要是說到關鍵字如Announcement, Points, Notes 所有的工人就會上前把那個人團團圍住唱歌做弄他，超好笑的，這個我喜歡～我一定要把所有的歌都學起來。上星期的閉幕營火，有一群小朋友學J說話說到這三個關鍵字之後工人的反應（衝上前去把人包起來唱歌），把大家笑得快死掉了。

晚上突然多了出來（本來要幫忙垂降的，結果說是暫停，因為授課者晚上放假），我和2G去玩射箭Archery還有散彈槍Shotgun。射箭這是我第二次玩，G幫我把弦調到剩約7公斤時我才有辦法把弦往後拉（一開始它讓我試10公斤，我拉都拉不動），我射得很...差，箭有些都飛不知道哪裡去，G說射箭要憑感覺瞄準靶心，哇勒，憑感覺哩！好吧，照他說的做，結果還越射越好哩，神奇，說真的我瞄的地方可是靶的右下角哩！（單憑左眼看時）。散彈槍就真的是第一次玩了，槍跟來福槍差不多重，不過瞄準和射擊的方式不大一樣。我一開始是搞不清楚S要問什麼，我以為他問我用哪一隻眼睛瞄準，結果他要問我是左撇子還是右撇子，兩個人位置因此換來換去，我覺得我真是蠢斃了。之後總算是要練習開槍了，目標是一個由機器射出來的飛盤，這也太難了吧，槍很重，還要將槍隨著飛盤移動的方向做調整，我整個人真得是很沒有這方面的天份，六七發都是亂打，慘不忍睹，還好S只在乎我有沒有覺得好玩，有沒有射到......下次再說吧。回房洗澡時我發現，右邊肩窩因為子彈發射後坐力的關係，黑青啦！有沒有這麼誇張啊！我好弱......
