We started with a quick game of bogged down (stuck in the mud) With the whole Seal patrol 12 scouts chasing us.
We then had to grab equipment from the store and trek to the old harbour to go and make a free standing flag pole. It took us much longer then expected to walk to the old harbour with all our stuff so we had very little time to make the flag pole. The Seagulls won in the end because they were the quickest to finish, but ours was the most sturdy!

This Friday was campfire, because we didnt have camp fire on troop camp. It was too light to have campfire immediately so we all went into the hall to fill in forms for star patrols. It went resonably well I think we got a bronze, but I thought we could do a lot better by planning more fun activities during the holidays, doing community service and keeping this patrol blog up to date.

After all the forms were filled in everyone gathered around the campfire as Dirk, Jana, Mitch and myself came with a long pole with a burning rag attached to it to light the fire it was a really unique way of getting it started. Then each patrol did a skit and a song and we had a naming cerimony where some new scouts were given scout names and it ended off with us all eating cupcakes, because it was Spirit Bear's birthday.
