Friday 25th November


Present: Berno, Raven, Colin, Elisabeth, Finn


Absent: Ludwig, Dryden


The program was in preparation for campfire and nothing els. At the start we played two inside games wile the PLs planned how we would light the fire. We first decided on shooting a flaming arrow from a tree at a pile of chemicals that would ignite but for some odd reason finalised the decision on having a zipline with a flame and have that ignite the chemicals instead, mainly because of "safety". Every patrol was required to contribute two songs and one new scit for this campfire since the cumbs will join us and we have been the same songs and scits for a wile. Elisabeth came up this our scit (the rich man and the dam) and our songs will be "my sargent major" and " Mr. Jonny..." Good songs I believe... We were not able to perform because of time this Friday but I am sure that the Albatrosses are ready for next week.

Friday 18th November


Present: Berno, Dryden, Finn, Collin, Ludwig


Absent: Elisabeth


The program was centred around stalking and we were not able to use the hall because of the parents meeting which took place. A few rounds of canned sardines were played . The game works as follows... Normally there would be one persone who would go out and hide and everybody els would go and look for this person. Once you found the persone you should hide with him without alerting the athers thus it is an individual game and there is always one lost chap that would still be looking for the persone wile everyone els has already found him. On the way back the Penguins (Guan and Sam) picked up rubbish that inspired athers to do the same. The Albatrosses also planned there hike together which will take place this holiday for three days and two nights.

The program started with a game of british bulldogs on the highschools field and lasted a round. Afterwards the scouts went to the hall were they had a session about stalking , done by Jhon, followed by a yaan and then a  tracking scenario set up by Frans, Jana, Rachel and orchestrated by Berno. The  Albatrosses and the Seals teamed up to follow the tracks Frans made, the Penguins followed the tracks made by Rachel leaving the Seagulls to follow the tracks Jana made. The Albatrosses and Seals were the first to finish followed short after by the Penguins and finally followed by the Seagulls who went off following the wroing tracks. The scouts gathered at the Scout Hall before hedding off to there final wide stalking game in the dark. There was an object placed in the bush which emitted light for the scouts to sneak up on without being caught by two sentries , Frans and Dirk, who was partolling the area. The game ended after 10 minutes due to time and nobody won legitimately meaning obtaining the item without jumping out of the bush and running another 20m out in the open followed by dodging the two sentries and then picking up the item shouting "I won!" Raven joined the Albatrosses today from cubs and he seems to be a capable scout. This is also the first blog entry done by Berno.
