Friday 1 August

Present: John, Iain, Berno, Daniel
Absent: Matthew, Megan, Christopher, Sheldon

I had a chess tournament this Friday, so Mitch, Berno, Fransie and myself came late to scouts, but it started with a "circle game where one person was 'it', the 'it' person walk round the circle and then place a scarf in the hands of a random person, random person then hits person to their right with the scarf. The assaulted then need to run round the circle to return to their place whilst fleeing the attacker. Once assaulted returns to their place they are safe, the attacker then walks round the circle and places the scarf in a random person's hands. Dirk was attacked most. We then had a short yarn about how the Friday meetings/ camps / activities are planned by the COH and how the PL's are responsible for guarding the honour of the troop. We than went to the hall and had a quick competition about making the six basic knots and building a stable tripod, the Seals won. When than went back to the hut and Rachell said a yarn on Shackleton, which was very interesting, after that we went back to the hall and played a ridiculous game of free - for - all with a ball and we just had to protect our tripods from the ball and the other charging patrols. We than had flag down and the end of another lovely evening.
