Well the fires are burning themselves out slowly and the scouts are now playing a quick game before tuck shop and home.
Well they’ve done the wood chopping and now their getting ready to light their fires. Who’s going to be first to burn the string??
Here’s the start of our evening-wood chopping.
The scouts have been split into two teams, so while team 1 are chopping, team 2 are playing dodge ball.
I looked in on explorers last night and realised that I’ve failed with the current batch of younger explorers who have no idea how to chop wood in the wet to start a fire.
Tonight we taught the scouts how to use axes and saws (or just ran refreshers for some of them. Â We’d like to have been outside but it was way to muddy and horrid. Hopefully we’ll ge some fires burning soon.
Next week we finish off the fire safety badge too.
Well what an amazing time the lightning scouts had at this event. Two teams were entered – kit kats and krispy Kreme (obviously they were hungry when picking team names)
Fantastic effort from all 9 scouts that took part seeing us come 9th (Krispy Kreme) and 11th (Kit Kats)
Knife sharpening
Fire starting with wire wool. And batteries
Feather sticks
Zumba night for the scouts tonight. It seems the boys are more confident dancers than the girls and the leaders are utterly unembarrassable.
Massive success and thanks to Elsa and Anna who got us all dancing.
