Tonight I ran the programme, it was about mapping. We started with a game in the hall: North, South, East, West. The scouts than had to find different bearings from different places in line of sight from the scout hall. They than they did a big wide game where each patrol was given a street to find and the had to take bearings to the street, all while trying to avoid Felix, Puma, Viper and myself who wanted to 'kill' them.
The seals did very well and were first back to report to me. The penguins were next who did an excellent job of avoiding us and getting many bearings, so the seals and penguins both shared a first prize of lollipops. We than played a final game in which Puma flung a robe around and we had to jump over it as it came around.
It was a great end to another great evening!

We had a lovely evening planned by Josie, it was to create awareness for disabled people. we had different bases.
At Puma's base we had to wash a cup with one hand, fastened buttons without fingers, we had to write our name with anything but our hands and we had to tie our shoes without looking at them.
At Trout's base we had to build a tripod without talking to each other and with everyone blindfolded but the Patrol Leader.
At Josie's base the patrol members had to lip read a message from the patrol leader and we had to read a message in a mirror.
At Felix's base everyone was blindfolded except the patrol leader and everyone had to do an obstacle course and we had to hold a line and identify objects on the line. We also had to fall-in blind.

At the end of the evening I invited some senior scouts and the Australian scouts to a sleep over in the hall as a friendship activity. We had hotdogs and coffee and tea, we played mafia and cards. The next morning we had cornflakes and left.
It was a great evening, that we enjoyed until the next morning.

This Friday was another mad dash for Gordons, to get any last minute equipment together and to get ready.
We scrubbed pots and pans, tied ropes and got equipment. Some of us also ran off to get last minute fresh foods, like apples and meats.
Before we knew it it was the end of the night. We were all very excited and ready for Gordons, lets hope all goes well!
Well done to our Gordons teams!

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!
