This week we worked on the Navigator Badge, with Keith and Darrell the Scouts were doing the "Cartographers Creation" scouts were map reading and drawing maps to a place of interest with enough information that a stranger would not get lost if given the map they had drawn
it was another map based game and more communication work with Emma & Andrea with “Missing Key” The scouts had a key off a map and a series of words that corresponded to the picture they had to decide on which belonged to which but with the added twist that they need to do to their patrol leader and describe what the picture looked like and then the patrol leader needed to draw it. this could have been a church, youth hostel, railway station etc.
Jason and Richard did outdoor Scout Style human battleships bit like the game but either side of Unity hall with walkie talkies so no cheating was possible what a HIT that was, although it also sunk a few Scouts too…..
Tash was doing a coordinates game with compasses which was great fun with the scouts running about trying to find the point of the compass.
We finished the evening by the fire with the all the Scouts and invested 8 new scouts into our troop, with their parents being able to watch too.
