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! 

Term three began with what felt like millions of plastic balls flying across the scout hall as keas worked in teams to practice our sportsmanship. With new a youth lead code in place to guide our activities, and some exciting new topics ahead, our tamariki really applied themselves as they embraced working together as a team. 

After investing our final new member for the term our keas had a night of fun, games, and food! The new coloured lights in hall made for an exciting night, and as always the snacks made a highlight of the evening.
