Our Scouts started off the week playing chair football and competing in their weekly fire lighting race. This week it was a draw between the Lions and the Tigers. One Scout got their cotton wool lit faster, and the other got their sticks to catch fire quickly. The Scouts also had a go at sorting out the nation's budget this week, in their patrols. They weren't impressed with how the government's spending compared with their choices, though!
The Cubs took over the entire floor of the hall this week, creating their own versions of the World Scouting symbol. Some used leaves, others used ropes and there were a couple of groups that went to town with the pom-poms and confetti. They even had a go making it using their bodies! Sadly, the rain meant the firelighting competition didn't happen for the Cubs.
Thursday night the Beavers learned about what Beavers is like in Canada and got to try on the uniform, which they liked, except for the colour. They played some duck, duck, goose Canadian style, where you run in the opposite direction from each other (don't collide!) and wrapped up the evening with some ceremonies. Four new Beavers were invested, one Beaver received her Chief Scout's Bronze Award, and one Beaver had his swimming up ceremony to Cubs.
