Program Term 2 - 2003

We shall use this night to finish up the bits of the water activities badge which everyone started last weekend on the canoe hike (see last term for details). We shall also say farewell to the cubs as this is the last time we will meet together as they are moving to Wednesday night and we shall continue our investiture run out to 5 weeks by investing Kym.

As the AGM is being held for the group tonight we will taking advantage of the fact that all youth members will be here from every section and we shall have an entire group video night.

We will be going through what is required for the Rally so we will all be able to pack for next week so we can check we all pack light before the event itself, we shall also be doing our last session on water activities for the term.

Lets make sure that all our packs are in order for the Rally this weekend this will also be the final chance to brush up on mapping so we don't get lost out there. Camel may even be nice enough to prepare a couple of practice bases so we know the way to behave on the weekend.

we spent much of last term and early this term going through hiking skills and this is the chance to put all that into practice good luck to all participants and may we have fairer weather than last year. I hope to see you all in Ancient Rome.

How many Scouts remember what we did last term on these? Lets try and find out.

We shall be looking at the planning section of the badge tonight as well as making sure we know how to tie the lashings so we can put it all into practice at camp.

Tonight is the chance to pack for the divisional Camp and to make sure that we know all the important things about our camping skills like how to pitch and strike a tent. We will also be setting some can-crushing records (to break later).

To be held at Glenrock with 1st Mereweather, 1st New Lambton and ourselves. We will be doing some fun activities, bits of badgework, different forms of cooking as well as playing a great wide game.

Since we all miss the cubs so much (oi' no laughing) we will be doing a joint night at Mayfield ten-pin bowling so we can all beat Akela again.

Tonight we will all be going along with Camel to Wollies to do the shopping for this weekend. This will give us a valuable insight for when we want to go on patrol camps and plan our own menus.

We will be spending another weekend with 2nd Belmont and Kotara will be there too. This camp will take us back to the basics the way Scout Camps should be, cooking, living and building our homes as a Patrol. We shall open this to other Troops so we can swap ideas and knowledge with them.

This meeting will see the completion of this badge with a visit from Jeff, a veteran to talk to us. We also have some pack up work to do from the camp.
