Hello everyone!
I hope the summer months have created some great memories for both parents and scouts and that the scouts are ready for a great year of Scouting.
This week at Scouts, we decided to have a slightly more informal meeting than usual with some of the leaders still taking a break until we dive into the main programme next week.
A new year meant we had some new Scouts join us. We had 4 out of the possible 9 join us this evening. The new Scouts were Lewis, Lottie, Maiya and Ruby. The leaders thought it would be nice to do a ice-breaker so that everyone could get to know each other a little better. We played a form of ‘Never have I Ever’ where each Scout takes it in turns to say at statement which starts with ‘Never have I Ever…’. If a Scout had done that thing, they then had to run round the circle and if they were the last back to their position in the circle, they were out.
We then took a walk up to the park to play some games. The Leaders got the Scouts playing manhunt before we handed over to Gabriel (our oldest Scout ) to organise some games that took advantage of the dark such as Lighthouse.
Once back at the hall, our Young Leader Emily took over and organised a game of Splat. For our final game we played a game that doesn’t really ahve a name but involves getting over half of a collection of coins on to your teams chair.
For our meeting next week (13th September), we will be having our annual pirate night. Please feel free to send the Scouts in pirate costumes as some of the Leaders will also be partaking in this as well.
See you soon,
Ellis
