We started with another investiger, we invested Martin and it was great. We than played a game of team tag, if you are tagged you are on their team untill everyone is caught and that was great fun. We than settled down and we passed off our advansment. We finally finished with patrol corners and we discussed who was going on what during the holidays until the end of the evening.

We started off by investing Ruan it was a very nice, he is very keen and he knows he's stuff.
Then we gathered chairs around the blackboard and drew a schedule of the holidays.
Shortly after we played a game of stalking, where 2 scouts are blindfolded and are given torches. The others have to try to get discs out of the bucket nearby, but if the 'shooters' hear any sound they flash their torches in your direction and if they hit you, you're dead. This was great fun and we all really enjoyed it.

For those of you who missed what was written down on the blackboard here it is:
  • 28 June (ski-boat training) 
  • 5&6 July (day hike with Puma) 
  • 8-10 July (Joey's Springbok camp Hawquas) 
  • 11-12/12-13 (Josie's 1st class hike) 
  • 12 July (inter-patrol ski-boat, deep sea challenge) 
  • 15 July (Curro learners go back to school) 
  • 21 July (all the others go back to school) 

If you would like to go on any of these post a comment below and I will see if we can fit you in.

What a great night!
We started with British Bulldogs on the field, which was great fun to relieve us of some energy before the night began.
Rachell and Jana ran a lovely program involving a series of games (including British Bulldogs). We played a game in patrols where we grab each others hands and try and get free of each other. We did not do very well as we made and impenatrable knot with our arms. In the following game the patrols had to get their members over a 2 meter rope, which was great fun, our patrol unfortunatly did not get a turn to go otherwise we would be too unbelievably fast. As the others played falling staves. I set up a series of bases involving senses, which was lots of fun. At the end I think that each patrol won a base. We had a nice flag down and milled around until the end of the evening.
