Friday 5th May

Hello All

Unfortunately we are unable to facilitate a scouting event this week due to prior engagements and it would be unsafe for us to continue with few leaders.

Although we would like to set you all a few challenges.

The more challenges completed the bigger the prize for your patrol!

1) BLUE PETER BADGE

log onto https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/findoutmore/blue-peter-apply-for-a-green-badge?collection=blue-peter-badges with adult support and apply for your green blue Peter badge.

Show how you can look after the planet and you can get free entrance to 200 uk activities across the UK. Please bring your evidence to the next scout meet!

2) WATER AWARD

Next time we meet we will be issuing you with your “on the water” log book.

This will all go towards your water badge, have a think about the questions below in prep for your book.

Why am I wearing a buoyancy aid? – How can I tell it is fitted correctly?

What clothing have I chosen to wear? – Are there items of clothing not suitable
for being on the water?

How many people is my craft suitable for?

What type of craft will I be paddling and why is it suitable? – Might other craft be more or less stable?

How should I position myself to be comfortable?

What style of paddle have I been given and why? – Is there a blade at each end of my paddle or only one? Why is this?

Does being right or left handed affect the paddle I am given?

Thank you again for your support.

We will require some parental support with the bbq each week, if your keen then let us know in the comments below.

Thanks again

30th crew
