Ils sont rentrés ce dimanche de camp après deux semaines passées loin de chez eux, fatigués, plutôt sales, mais heureux !
Qui sont-ils ? Ce sont les Éclaireurs de Toulouse. Des enfants et des adolescents qui se retrouvent toute l’année, et pendant le camp d’été, pour apprendre à vivre ensemble en pleine nature. Sur cette photo, tu peux voir des jeunes Éclaireurs en train de faire leur lessive pendant le camp d'été. Adapté de 1jour1actu, Juillet 2013, Catherine Ganet |
They came back on Sunday from a two-week holiday camp far from home - tired, quite dirty, but happy!
Who are they? They are the Eclaireurs Scouts of Toulouse. Children and teenagers who meet up all year long, and during the summer camp, to learn how to live together outdoors. On this photo, you can see some young Eclaireurs doing the laundry in the summer camp. |
