Outpost Campout 2013 By: Selangor #6 No comments

Greetings! A thousand apologies for the lack of update and though it's 4 months late, here's a lil recap of our very own Outpost Campout that happened on the 22nd-25th March 2013 at Jungle Lodge, Gombak.

Day #1
The rangers having their welcoming and briefing session by Senior Cmdr Eric Teh.. Under the stars!

And then it's GAMES TIME!

Best of the Best - Who can spit the furthest?

Cmdr Zhi Fung judging the teams on their "Egg Protection Device"

 

Then we had the patrols present their song and yell before bed time (or in this case sleeping bag time)

Day #2

Rise and Shine! Filling their stomachs for an interesting day ahead!

Cmdr Reuben teaching the rangers how to cook instant noodles with a mess kit

Now that everyone's charged up again, time to learn some camping skills!
We had Rotation Classes teaching Rope Craft, Compass, Tool Craft and Dutch Oven Cooking.

After that, it was time to get WET!

Presenting you our very own Michael Phelps

Sports themed Council Fire for the night!

and then we continued on to have a fun night filled with games, songs, cheers and laughter :)

Here are the cmdrs rocking their sports attire \m/

Day #3

Staying at the great outdoors away from our usual nasi lemak, bah kut teh and what not, nothing beats waking up to the smell of Roti Prata wafting through the air!

Morning parade is a must! Flag bearers Ranger Jia Jun and Ranger Xing Yi preparing for the raising of flags

Chaplain, Ps. Peter sharing the word of the Lord with us.

The rangers setting out on their hike. Finally, the day of total fun has arrived!

Wonder what Cmdr Huei Lin's pointing at..

After an hour plus of mountain climbing, tree crossing, river wading, BEHOLD... kita sudah sampai at the water fountain fall!

And now the fun really begins cause it's.... ABSEILING TIME!

Ranger Calvin showing us how it's done!

 Ranger Celeste being one of the first girls to try it out!

 Ranger Travis looking like a pro but ended up with cuts and bruises.. Ouch!

 Ranger Shannon looking all hyped up while Ranger Erwin seems abit... worried? hahaha

The other rangers and commanders who were waiting for their turn at abseiling, who also turned out to be the bunch of people not being able to experience abseiling cause it rained :(

So we all hiked back to our campsite for another round of fun!

On dry land, we have Cmdr Reuben scaring young girls away *screams!

 While in the water, we have Cmdr Melissa experiencing the infamous "a dip in the pool"

After a day of fun, here's Cmdr Kenny preparing for the night's council fire.

Amidst the fun and laughter, it's important that we do not lose sight of what's important.
The cmdrs brought the rangers back to a heart of worship during the night's council fire and many hearts were rededicated back to the Lord. A new soul was also won for God that very night and we all rejoiced even as heaven rejoiced!

Day #4

The day we pack our bags and head on home. Yes Cmdr Reuben, we feel your sadness too :(   

Even lil durian was shocked at how fast time flies! :O

One for the road! Twas a good 4 days 3 nights spent learning about God, brushing up on our skills and simply bonding with each other. It was a camp that was timely in bringing the commanders and rangers to a time of great fun and fellowship. The experiences and time spent together will be the foundation that this outpost will build upon in the spirit of mentorship - to reach, to teach and to keep the boys and girls in the ministry and most importantly with God.

Till next time!

Cheers
