Camporee Reflection by Derrick

Our Camporee was from 22nd November 2007 to 27th November 2007. In Perth, I learnt about saving the environment by conserving nature.

Firstly, we studied a tree and its parts like its leaves and bark. The bark that I studied had a rough bark that was quite thick. Its leaves are rough and the stem was thin but pricky. We also drew some water from the stream and examined the water to see if there is any organism living in the water.

Next, we did an experiment on water pollution. We took some water from the lake and we put soy sauce, oil, flour, chocolate rice, streamers, plastic bags, soil and some other stuff to pollute the water. The end result looked like Milo!

Throughout this Camporee, I made lots of new friends and I look forward to going for more of such events. I feel very honoured to represent our school and all the cub scouts in Singapore to go to Perth for such a memorable event,.
