This Friday it was a mad dash for Gordons. We fell in as Gordon patrols:
Team #1: John, Mitch, Iain, Frans, Berno, Matthew, Fabio, George
(but it was only Mitch Frans and Berno and myself present)
Team #2: Jana, Bryn, Dirk, Loedewyk, Kayleigh,Martin, Jayden, Damian
We grabbed all the equipment that our patrol needed, we cleaned pots and pans, we gathered together staves and ropes. Then we stopped and were told to grab an item and go to the hall. There P.W was on a seat with a blindfold on, all the objects were scattered around and the lights were switched off. We had to make it to the other side without P.W 'shooting' us with his torch and while trying to avoid various obstacles that we had brought with us. After we had, had several rounds and P.W had slayed us with his accuracy we went back to getting ready for Gordons until the end of the evening.

This Friday we did a program that had been planned for a long time and that we were really looking foward to.
We started by explaining to the scouts that that they were stuck on a desert island. We showed them how to signal to a helicopter and get supplies. We than told them that one of our members was injured and needed assistance with our supplies. The person, who we had dressed up before the time had multiple injuries including a possible broken neck, we showed our patrols how to move them to safety correctly. We than as patrol leaders were subjected to very rigorous questioning and once they had finished Puma said a yarn and we had flag down.

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.

I brought a friend to scouts, Sheldon he is very keen and may be invested. We started with flag parade in the cubs hall as they were out and we could use the hall.
We also played games there and started with a game where we were divided into two teams and we each had separate numbers and as our pairs were called out we had to compete with cardboard and a sponge or a traffic cone or rope over the line to get a goal it was very physical, but fun. Then we did a debriefing of all the activities that we did during the holiday and Puma said a yarn. We finally played one more game of North, South, East, West with a twist (which Sheldon won) and then we had flag down. (also in the hall) It was a great end to a great Friday!

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:
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.
