So, a new term starts on Friday (8th September), and we have
7 weeks in the term! The plan for evenings is as follows:
8/9 Welcome Back – We will have a report on the recent trip to Bournemouth Air Show by those who attended. Normally this involves lots of pictures of scouts getting extremely wet! – then a few games to get back in the groove.
15/9 Camping Hints ‘n’ Tips’ – Starting to prepare for an overnight “Bivvy” camp where Scouts will make their own shelters to spend the night in.
22/9 Overnight Preparation – Continuing from last week, introducing a few tools for the overnight.
29/9 Navy Days – Nautical terms and traditions. Why is a head a head?
6/10 Rope Making – This time using a machine!
13/10 Communication – Introduction to different ways of communicating, ready for next weeks JOTI/JOTA.
20/10 JOTI/JOTA – OFFSITE! We will be at Murray Hall for the start of the JOTI/JOTA event over the weekend. This will involve talking to Scouts all over the world via internet and radio. There is the option to stay overnight on the Friday.
