Our beach night retreated to the hall after the ‘Southerly’ kept up delivering cold wind and rain to Princess Bay?

Our youth gave presentations on water, hypo/hyper-thermia and shelters carried out some challenges including how to dry/ warm your clothes with a rubbish bag and a candle…!?

This week we had three very special (very furry) guests along to meet our keas! After learning all about care and safety for a variety of pets our keas put their new skills to the test walking, cuddling, and practicing tricks with our three furry friends. 

Scouts learnt to safely light a match (most don’t have open fires at home!?), followed by a simple candle challenge which was completed with varying degrees of speed…?. The night finished with some planning for the rest of the term.

Scouts were challenged by the weather to indulge their culinary ‘skills’

This week our keas beat out the rain with a new game in our new posses: using chalk to give each other directions to find some hidden plastic cups around the neighbourhood! After a blast of running around with chalk and torches we headed inside to escape the weather and to finish painting our hands we have used to ‘sign’ the rules that the kids came up with last week. How cool!
