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.  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.
