Scout life is a way of teaching a person how to become responsible during any type of emergency.

The leaders took the new member in a place called San Juan Capistrano, it’s a place the have animal and trees and parts look like desert.

Then we found a good place to set up or tents, after we set our tents the leaders asked from us to build something with wood that could help us to survive or to keep our stuff away from the ground so the animals won 't attack it. My group we made a table to put our bags on it and we build sawmill to help us to dry our cloth and to also carry some of our bags or shoes. Then some of us cooked for us and when it got really dark we all brought out our flash light but unfortunately it wasn’t working because it was so dark. After that we build a fire and we start to eat marshmallows and talking about the day, singing religious songs, and finally we did some acting and games. When it was time to go to bed we all had shifts to come out at night and try to secure the place. My shift was at two in the morning with two other girls we started hearing the coyotes and saw some wild animals and all night long we heard the snakes. We were so scared and hoping are shift will be over soon but we learned to survive under any circumstances and
