my final jamboree

Postby viking » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:04 pm

at the end of my previous story i mentioned my final jamboree before i would quit the scouts.
it’s not one long story, but two short stories that i have put into one longer.

the first one takes place when we were building the camp.
among the Rovers it was me, Rodney, Eire, Tanja, OB, Riley, Shaun, Michael, Sabella and the twins Larry and Olaf.
also since it was summer vacation that meant Tony, Tom and Caitlin A. was back from their studies so they were also attending.
the only ones of the Rovers who was not attending the jamboree was Joe, Stanley and Jennifer.
however we had a guest. since Tess was the same age as Riley she had been placed with the Rovers during the jamboree.
Tess had not yet officially become a scout, she had just been a guest at the friendship camp the year before and was gonna try again this year.
she had gotten really well along with us the last time, Shaun and Riley were her best friends and she found both me and Rodney to be someone she could trust when she needed somebody to talk too.

during the pioneering of our camp kitchen and dining table i measured and prepared some rope for later use when we would tie the logs together. i had to place the rope somewhere while we positioned the seats on our dining table and noticed that Tess was just standing there and not doing anything special at all.
it’s not like we were in a hurry and i figured i could make a rather short TUG out of it.
“hey Tess, hold this” i said and gave her one of edge of the sisal rope.
she gave me a confused look and then suddenly i started wrapping it around her.
the smile on her face when she realized what was happening was big, i know she was a big fan of the 50 shades books, and considering how eager she was about getting tied up last year i figured she didn’t mind.
she was wearing a white tank top, denim shorts and her blond hair was braided behind her head.
when i finished with the reef knot the rope was tied around her waist about 8 times and pinned her arms down to her sides.
“sweet” she responded.

okay, anyone who has any experience at all knows that this must be the easiest boundary to escape from. even if i had bothered making it tight she still would be able to just wiggle out without any problem at all.
the truth is that at the moment i didn’t really care about tying her up properly since it was mostly meant for a joke.
after all we had something bigger to focus on right now, and i was responsible for commanding everyone at working on the table.
also, it didn’t take long before i had to release Tess again so we could use the rope for the pioneering like we were supposed to.
the more interesting part of the story was her response when i untied the rope again so shortly after.
“what? already?”
“i kinda need the rope to attach the seat on our table” i said.
“oh, so i was just helping you holding on to the rope temporary?”
“basically yes”
“but i had so much fun” Tess suddenly moaned.
like i already have mentioned, i knew Tess had a little interest for TUGs after what happened a year ago, so this didn’t really come as a surprise to me, still, i had to focus on my main priority right now, but i figured we could have some fun later, and since she enjoyed being tied up so much, i said “after the campfire entertainment i can tie you up again if you’d like, and then i can do it a little more properly”.
“YES!” she said very excited “i’m really looking forward to it”.

we continued working on the table and preparing a few other things around the campsite.
Tanja showed me around the site since she had already been there for a week helping out preparing the campsite for the 8000 scouts that would attend, i also helped her getting her camping equipment back to our campsite from where she had been sleeping for the last week.
eventually the opening campfire entertainment started and a lot of singing and dancing were going on, meanwhile i focused on adding a few more details on the dining table. i wanted to add a plastic sheet over in case the sunny weather would stop.
when the entertainment was over and everyone came back it started getting dark.
“kinda unusual to have dark nights during summer” i said to Rodney.
“i know, and it’s not even close to midnight yet” he responded.
“funny how you don’t have to travel that far south really before we notice the changes”.
that’s when i noticed Tess together with Shaun and Riley, i was wearing a sweater with a huge pocket in the front which i had placed a roll of duct tape just in case i would need it.
now, it’s not like i kept it there only in case of a TUG, it could be for anything, but of course TUGs are one of the MANY reasons why i carry duct tape around.

i walked up to Tess and held up the duct tape in front of her without saying anything.
“oohhhh” she said and then smiled at me.
she was now wearing a black sweater similar to the one i was wearing, it was a part of our official rover uniform and had the patrol logo on the back with the name of the one carrying it.
she had also put on a pair of cargo pants.
“Tess, we are leaving” Riley said.
“hold on, this won’t take long” Tess said.
i placed her arms behind her back and wrapped some tape around her wrists first. then i wrapped the tape around her 10-12 times right under her chest and down her waist.
“thank you” she said and turned over to Riley and Shaun “i’m coming guys!”

to be honest i have no idea where they planned on going, maybe they wanted to find some old friends from previous scout trips, or maybe they just wanted to get oriented about the campsite, i don’t really know, and i don’t know how long Tess stayed tied up, maybe they cut her free right afterwards or maybe she stayed tied up for the entire hour they were gone, but as i watched them leave i suddenly felt something poking me in the back.
i turned around to see this younger scout girl with red hair, blue eyes and lots of freckles.
“Viking, can you wrap me up in tape as well?”

i knew who she was, but i didn’t really know her that well, her name was Jane and beside of that and the fact that she was in one of our younger scout groups i honestly didn’t know much about her.
she was on the patrol that had to rescue Ashley during the night maneuver, so this is not the first time she had been involved in my TUG stories, but back then i didn’t even know her name (not that it matters since i have changed the name of every character in the story anyway).

i was a little skeptic about tying her up to be honest, first of all, her young age.
technically she was not that much younger than Ashley was when i tied her up the first time during her sugar rush the year before, but the difference between Jane and Ashley was that i had known Ashley since she was 7 years old, so i knew where to draw the line when it came to Ashley.
Jane however, i had only met her a few times on a few scout trips and i didn’t really know her that well, i never had an actual conversation with her.

i didn’t like the idea, but then she folded up her arms and said “please… i really wanna know what it’s like”.
i sighed and pulled the tape roll out of my pocket again “fine… but if you regret then let me know at once so i can cut you free”.
don’t get me wrong, i love tying up people, but i prefer having a victim i know that can handle it without making a big deal out of it afterwards, and somebody i know 100% for sure will find the fun in it.
i’ve had a few experiences before when the willing victim suddenly regrets, and it always causes trouble for the one doing the tying.
i figured since Jane didn’t seem to have that much experience i started with just taping her wrists crossed in front of her.
“more please” she said.
alright then, i’ll add some more.
that’s when i noticed what she was wearing, she had a pair of olive green knee length cargo shorts and a black t-shirt with a motive from The Legend Of Zelda.
“cool t-shirt by the way” i said while i started pinning her arms down in front of her by wrapping the tape around her stomach.
“thanks” she said.

i believe i wrapped the tape around her about 7-8 times.
“i think this is enough for now” i said “unless you want a gag or have your feet taped as well”.
“nah, i think you are right. thanks” she said and walked away while calling for some of her friends “hey, look at me guys! i’m a damsel in distress!”

——————

the next TUG took place several days later.
it all started when i was making my traditional pancakes with my portable kitchen placed on the dining table.
“so what kind of pancakes are you making today? purple? green?” Ashley asked me while watching me mix the ingredients.
“chocolate pancakes with chocolate” i answered.
“chocolate pancakes with chocolate? why don’t you just call them chocolate pancakes?” Meg asked me.
“because the pancakes are made of chocolate and i have added chocolate in them as well”.
“what? but that doesn’t make any sense!”
“yes it does” i said while pouring some more milk in the mix “because if i made chocolate pancakes then i wouldn’t have made them with chocolate, and if i made regular pancakes but added chocolate, then it would be pancakes with chocolate, but now i’m making CHOCOLATE pancakes WITH CHOCOLATE”.
do you find this confusing dear reader? well, so did everyone else that i tried to explain this for.
“what?” Meg said confused while sitting on the bench attached to the dining table.

Jane and some of the other girls walked by and noticed that i was cooking up something.
“hey Viking, are you making pancakes again?” Jane asked me.
“i remember last time, you made them green” another girl said.
“my cuisine has quiet a rumor it seems among the scouts” i said while i lighted up the gas and prepared the frying pan.
as i started cooking i started to gain a huge audience around me.
Ashley and Meg already sat there, Tess, Mary (Ashley’s older sister who also would get involved in a short TUG later, but not in this story), Jane and her friends, most of the other Rovers and a few others that i have no idea who were.

what i didn’t know at the moment was that among Jane’s friends were my next victims.
one of the girls noticed my roll of duct tape in the front pocket of my sweater and suddenly asked “what’s up with you and duct tape Viking? you always seem to carry it with you”.
“it has many uses” i answered while throwing a pancake in the air “for an instance you can use it to fix a leak in the tent, or you can use it to remove filth from your clothes if you know how to improvise, or you can tape up and gag anyone who annoys you”.
“like you did with Jane?”
“well, she didn’t exactly annoy me” i said.
“i just asked Viking if he could tape me up” Jane said.
next comment was for some reason not surprising but at the same time a request that i still can’t get used to.
“can you tape me?”
“hey, i also wanna be taped up!”

i looked at the girls who just had volunteered.
one of them was a girl that i used to refer to as mini-Eire, the reason was simple, Eire was her older sister and you could tell that they were siblings.
the other one was a girl named Sandy.
“you said you would do it to someone who’s annoying, well Sandy is the most annoying person in our patrol” Meg said.
“can we at least wait until i’m done with the pancakes?” i said.
like i said earlier, as much as i enjoy TUGs, i still am skeptic at playing with such young girls and especially when i don’t know them that well.
i don’t mind playing TUGs with anyone this young, but if somebody sees it then they can get the wrong idea, and when i don’t even know them then i don’t know how they might act up afterwards, so obviously i was skeptic again.
that’s when i noticed a third girl named Laura who whispered something to mini-Eire.
“Laura want’s to be taped up as well”.

i know it seems like a dream come true for most people who enjoys these type of games, but i really wish it could be someone who at least was a little older.
mini-Eire and Laura was about 12 years old i think while Sandy was 14.
in the end i said “fine, i’ll tie you all up after i’m done with the pancakes”.
the girls gave their wahoo’s and i continued cooking.
not sure why i even accepted in the first place, a voice inside me said that this was wrong, i shouldn’t play TUGs with them, and believe me, i had absolutely no interest in these girls in any possible way, but at the same time, what would be the problem?
to me it was nothing but another innocent TUG, and to them it would be nothing but fun, and if they didn’t like it, then all i had to do was cut them loose again. they asked for it themselves and nobody forced them to do anything against their will.
what could go wrong?

after i had finished all the pancakes and turned off the gas most of the scouts had spread around the campsite again as there was nothing left to eat. i sat down on the bench and said “who’s first?”
Laura approached me, she had blue eyes, long blond hair and freckles. she was wearing her scout uniform and a pair of denim shorts.
“so, how do you want to be taped up?” i asked her.
Laura was a very shy girl, didn’t say much really, and considering that she needed somebody else to ask me for her, when she requested for me to tie her up it should say a lot about her shyness.
“uh… i don’t know…” was her response.
“maybe just something simple then? like just a few tape strips around your wrists?”
“okay…”
“do you want your hands in front or at your back?” i kept asking.
“in the front…”
“alright, cross your arms then” i said. she did just like i told and i decided to go as easy as possible on her.
wrapping the tape around her wrists 5 times and stopped.

“do you feel alright?” i asked her.
“i’m okay” she said giggling.
“well in that case, do you want more tape or is this enough?”
“it’s enough, thanks” she said and stepped back.
mini-Eire was up next. like i already said, she looked a lot like her sister. a tan skin color, long black hair, dark eyes, you could tell she had Asian origins, she was wearing a blue sweater and jeans.
“alright mini-Eire, how do you want to be tied up?” i asked.
“that’s not my name, stop calling me mini-Eire!” she shouted “and i want my arms in front just like Laura had, but i also want tape around my stomach”.
“so you want your arms pinned down in front” i said and tore out the tape “cross your arms please”.
mini-Eire was also very co-operative. i taped her wrists together in her front with 5 rounds and continued wrapping the tape around her waist afterwards so her arms got pinned down in her front.
“alright, was there anything else?”
“nope, thank you” she said and went over to show Eire and Tess who was sitting at a bench opposite of us.

it was now Sandy’s turn.
“so, how do you want to be taped up?” i asked.
“as much as possible!” she said with a loud voice and a huge grin across her face.
Ashley was still sitting next to us and had been paying attention to the whole thing so far.
she bent over to me and whispered in my ear “please, just make it unescapable, she is really annoying”.
“turn around and place your arms at your back” i said.
Sandy did just like i said and started crossing them and prepared the tape i would wrap around.
“and you are 100% sure that you want this to be unescapable?” i said once more to make sure that she agreed to what was about to happen.
“yes, and i’m going to escape anyway”.
Ashley rolled her eyes, she knew what Sandy was getting herself into.
Sandy had her light brown/blond hair to her neck, she was wearing a white t-shirt and gray knee-length shorts.
considering that she was older than the other 2 and the fact she requested me to tie her up as good as possible i figured i could go little rougher on Sandy.

i wrapped the tape around her crossed wrists vertical and horizontal 6 times each way behind her back, then i wrapped tape around her chest and down to her waist for as many rounds as i felt would be enough and finished by taping her ankles together.
“so, do you still think you can get free on your own?” i said.
Sandy looked down at her own body and tried to wiggle “uh… yes”.
she seemed to realize that this might not be as easy as she first thought.

i stood up and said “well, i guess my work here is done” then i walked over to Rodney and the other rovers and sat down with them instead.
i watched Sandy jumping away from the distance, both mini-Eire and Laura had already disappeared. i think it took about 10 minutes before Sandy returned with a ball of duct tape that she threw in the trash while she was teasing me about how she managed to escape from my duct tape.
“did you really?”
“yes” she said looking in a different direction.
i looked at Ashley who had followed her and asked her instead “did she really escape on her own?”
“she had somebody else cut it off” was Ashely’s answer.
Sandy looked frustrated at Ashley and then back at me “she’s lying!” she said while pointing her finger at Ashley.
next time i saw mini-Eire and Laura they had also managed to escape, but in their case i had gone very easy, so they most likely could escape by themselves if they had wanted.

—————

so that’s it, there is no more stories to share from the jamboree that year…
or actually that’s a lie, there was a lot of interesting things that happened, but not TUG related.

for an instance, during the hike Tess started writing down the lyrics to a song she made up herself, as she tried singing it, i started improvising a drum beat by clapping my arms on my thighs, and made a bass melody with my mouth.
and the result actually turned out to be really good! damn, how much i wish i had my recording equipments at that moment.

the portal that we constructed for our campsite entrance was huge.
and man, did i have a lot of fun when we pioneered it together.

before the camp, i had introduced OB to Dragonball, so we had watched enough episodes for him to learn the basic plot and what the ‘pafu pafu’ was.
during the entire bus trip down we kept sharing intern jokes between us, resulting in one of us answering “pafu pafu”.
of course, since nobody else had ever bothered watching Dragonball in it’s original Japanese language, only OB and i understood the joke, which made it more fun, that was until one evening while i was talking to another friend of me who i knew from the scout jamboree at Iceland back in 2009.
suddenly OB cries out “Viking! Rodney just ruined the pafu pafu!”
confused i looked over at him and asked “how the F*** did he manage to do that?”
“by doing it ON ME!” he cried back.
“how did he find out how to do it on you?”
“well, i kinda told him what it was…”
“idiot… you only got yourself to thank”
next thing i saw Rodney sneaking up behind OB with a huge grin on his face, reaching out his arm and tickling OB on his right man boob.
“pafu pafu” he said with a silly voice as OB freaked out and yelled back at Rodney “STOP IT!”
“what? that’s not even how you do it…” i whispered “anyway” i kept talking to my old scout friend.

of course, some of the things that happened were not that fun.
i had to deal with four heatstrokes among the scouts in my group, first Tess got one, followed by Rodney almost at the same time. so i placed them together someplace that had a shadow and forced them to drink a lot of water.
a few days later, right after the camp inspections, Riley suddenly fainted and felled forward, i checked her symptoms, and it was definitely a heat stroke. Shaun and i had to help her up, then we placed her in the tent with the door open, i made sure she had a lot of water, and at the instant moment i got out of the tent i saw Tanja laying on the ground, she was crying. i quickly discovered that she also had most symptoms for a heat stroke, so i helped her over to the tent and placed her next to Riley.
after that i told everyone in the group that they had to start drinking more water, i really started having enough with all those heat strokes.

man, a lot of things happened during that camp.

oh, there is one more thing that i just have to share.
at the last night of the camp, after we had packed most of our stuff so we were prepared for leaving in the morning after, Larry suddenly ended up having one hell of a nosebleed.
i don’t know how he got it, actually, he didn’t know himself how it happened, it just suddenly started bleeding out of his nose, and it wouldn’t stop, it happens sometimes.
no matter how much paper Larry held up against his nose, it wouldn’t stop.
at that moment i realized i had to come up with some improvised first aid, so i looked over at Eire, and asked her “do you have any tampons i can borrow?”
“just a sec” she said and looked in her backpack “ah, here you go”.
she removed the plastic and gave me the tampon, i then looked over at Larry and said “alright buddy, bend your head back and remove your hand” and poff, i inserted the tampon in his nose.
oh, how i regret that i didn’t take any pictures of him, i guess that most of you can imagine how silly he looked with that thing sticking out of his nose, but still, i really wish i had the pictures, and to make it even worse, everyone who walked by that saw it, couldn’t resist laughing.
Larry responded with telling them “stop laughing at me! it’s not funny!”
“sorry, but you look kind of ridiculous” Eire pointed out for him.
when Rodney saw him he said “Larry, i think you placed that thing in the wrong hole”.
“that’s not what your mother said to me” he responded with.
“WHAT?!” Rodney said shocked, and angry at the same time.
“hey guys, what’s up” Tess said when she approached us, then she saw Larry. at first she seemed to try avoid laughing, her face was taking the shape of a balloon as she held her breath, but she couldn’t hold it back that much longer as she bursted out a laughter so loud i’m pretty sure they heard her all the way at the other side of the camp.
“stop laughing at me!” Larry said again “can’t you see that i’m hurt enough as it is already? do you have to heart my feelings as well?”
Tess was laying down and knocking her fist to the ground, literally, it seemed like it took forever, but she eventually managed to stop and catch her breath, then she looked at Larry again and continued laughing so hard that she started to cry.
between her laughs she said “i… have to… get away… from here, BWHAHAHA!”
“how long do i have to keep this thing in here?” Larry asked me.
i answered “if i remember correctly, this usually lasts for about five days”.


anyway, i still got a few more TUG stories to share from my scout carrier, some took place before this story, and some took place after.
i also have the story about my final scout trip.

the end for now.

A jamboree is a great place for Scouts to discover other aspects of Scouting and life in general. You managed to introduce TUG's to a few who will hopefully carry on the tradition after you're gone. As a leader the best you can hope for is to create new leaders who will follow your example.

thanks mate, only the future will tell if i have given the right kinds of influences cheers
though, what we consider the right influences might not be looked at as positively from others outside our community.
