The camp fire had to be conducted indoors due to the heavy downfall in the night. Our Camp Chief was Mr. Ami Chand, the former District Commissioner for Nausori Scouts Council. All scouts received a Certificate of Participation during the camp fire. The day ended with a late night supper and lights off was at 10 o’clock.

 Saturday’s programme began at 6 o’clock. The school facilities were properly cleaned before the scouts farewell each other after breakfast. We left the school compound at 9 o’clock on Saturday morning.
