Week 20: February 24–27 2025

February 28, 2025

The Scouts worked on some life skills this week by learning to wire a plug, testing and resetting a breaker, changing a lightbulb for a ceiling fixture and how to iron a shirt.

This Scout is carefully ironing her uniform shirt as part of her practical skills.With no hanging bulbs in the Scout hut, one of the taller leaders is holding the bulb bracket as high as he can, so the Scout can attempt to change the lightbulb above his head.The Scouts are learning to wire a plug from their leader. There are a variety of tools on the table, so they can learn to do it properly.

At Cubs, things got messy with paint, as the Cubs gripped paintbrushes with their toes and painted pictures as best they could! Some of the Cubs made paintings with the paintbrush held in their mouths instead.

On Thursday, the Beavers looked at times when they did their best, were kind and were helpful, as well as how that made the people around them feel. Then they worked with our Young Leaders to make some reflections based on their earlier comments.
