Instructions
At the start of camp give each six/patrol a journal and explain that it is for everyone in their six/patrol to use to make a record of their time on camp. You could do this individually as well.
They can just write about their time, draw some scenes or even junk journal and glue in some items they've collected such as leaves, sweet wrappers or pressed flowers. They could also take pictures of things on camp to add to their journal later. However they want express themselves they can.
You should dedicate at least 20-30mins on camp at the end of each day for the young people to add entries to their journal. Everyone should do 1 page each a day at the very least. They can also add something during the day when there is time if they want to.
You should keep using their camp journals on every camp until the book is full and then start again. It is a really nice record of the young people's experience on camp and the newer ones can look through and see what the previous ones got up to on their camps.
