With the AGM running concurrently to our Scout meeting, we decided to give the new Scouts a chance to talk about something they were interested in or enjoyed whilst the the older Scouts were assisting with some of the setup and prep for the AGM.
We first let the Scouts outside for a few games run by Emily and a bit later on Tegan, one of our senior Scouts.
Inside we set up a table for Scouts to bring up anything they had brought and then for them to stand behind and speak about it. They could have brought anything to speak about, whether that’s a topic they were interested in or a hobby they do. Here’s all the Scouts that presented and a little detail on what they talked about:
- CJ – Spoke about his drumming and his Youtube Channel.
- Haris – Spoke about his favourite football team, Manchester United.
- Charlie – Spoke about Scouts 🙂
- Aaron – Spoke about his time helping at his Church over the summer.
- Abigail – Spoke about her art.
- Tegan – Spoke about her time playing Dungeons and Dragons
- Ruby – Spoke about her art.
- Lottie – Spoke about her art.
- Maiya – Spoke about her range of baking. She even brought in some tasters.
- Lewis – Spoke about collecting Beano magazines.
As you can see there’s a range of different hobbies and topics. Large amount of artists in the troop as well. Well done to everyone that got up and spoke. Its very difficult to get up and speak and everyone did it wonderfully.
We closed off the evening with a game in the dark where blindfolded Scouts had to find everyone else around the room.
Our meeting tommrrow will be Scouting Basics for the benefit of our new members. What are those basics? Promise and Pioneering.
See you tommrrow!
