When I was a kid in the Boy Sprouts...
...we went on camp in the Trossachs (in the wilds of Scotland). I was put on toilet emptying duty, which I later learnt involved digging a pit for people to piss in and emptying the chemical toilet when it got full.

The problem is that it had been a really dry summer and the ground was way too hard for us to be bothered digging a propper crap-pit using woggles and flags, so we tried emptying the chemical bucket in the river, downstream of the camp. Unfortunately, the river had a backcurrent, so half an hour later, the turds and toilet paper drifted back past the camp where the rest of the kids were swimming. Nice.

Next bucketful, we decided to take to Aberfoyle and get rid of it there. The idea was that we'd trickle a bit at a time into the public toilets, flushing in-between until all was gone. Such a nice idea...

Quick check to make sure noone was around, sneaked the bucket into the toilets and gently slide one "portion" into the bowl...*SPLASH*...the whole lot slid in, filling the bowl absolutely to the brim with 3 days' worth of scout poo. We legged it.

Still, better than the previous year when someone emptying the shit bucket accidentally dropped it in the middle of the activities field...and there it remained all week, flies and all.

Classy.
