FREEPORT, Grand Bahama -- The 4th Freeport girl guides and rangers completed a successful camp the weekend of February 28-March 2. The twenty-one girls and their leaders camped out in the beauty of Williamstown Beach. Despite the cold on the first night, the guides and rangers enjoyed themselves with wide games, nature walks, patrol games and great food.
As always the Grand Bahama community was very supportive. Sponsors included Polymers International, Kelly's, Pharmachem, Sanitation Services, Gold Rock, Gametime Lounge, and Club 54. The Royal Bahamas Police Force must be commended for their protection of the girls out in the 'wilderness'. The guides and rangers were also protected by male parents and teachers, Mr. George Williams, Mr. Devarowe Solomon, and Mr. Steven Roxbury.
Camp Whodunit featured a strange mystery which the girls had to solve, throughout the duration of the camp. In keeping with the theme the five patrols were named after national and international law enforcement agencies. (RBPF, RBDF, CIA, FBI, DEA) All games and clues to the mystery were tied into the theme.
Friday afternoon and night was spent pitching tents and setting up the boundaries of the camp, before the girls finally relaxed after dinner at a campfire featuring singing and ghost stories.
On Saturday, the girls enjoyed a three mile hike, completed their craft of Morse code bracelets and presented a campfire show after dinner. Ghost Road, a hilarious nighttime game in the dark was played down the dark pathways. There was much screaming around the Williamstown graveyard.
