First Scout Meeting for Recruits
First Scout Meeting for Recruits
22nd January 2011
Twenty eight recruits joined us for the first meeting of the year. At first they appeared to be a quiet bunch,
looking around apprehensively, not knowing what to expect. After a series of games conducted by Akela, they began to lose their shyness, and became noisy, and at times, over enthusiastic. Interspersed with the games were brief introductions to scouting - the scout sign, scout salute, and the left hand shake.
The finale to the meeting was the Captain's ball - played with a baollon filled with a little water, with no running - only hopping and jumping. When a balloon burst because of rough handling, the players got splashed with water from the balloon!
All to soon it was time to rejoin the main unit for the closing flag ceremony. Akela handed each recruit the consent form and a packing list for the Camp next week. Each recruit has made at least a friend and they have had their first taste taste of scouting. The Recruits Induction Camp beckons, and it promises to be fun!
