Lashings 6thJun2020

Written by Farren Lee, Sixer & Scribe

 

It was the first ever Scout Meeting Online! I personally felt very excited as it was my third time using Zoom as I did not like it. These online meetings will be a huge difference from the usual meetings in school.

 

As we were broken up into Pelican 1 (Bilby - Koala) and Pelican 2 (Kookaburra - Wombat). The first meeting was a refresher meeting as we had not had a meeting for more than 2 MONTHS! We began with an online Colour Party. We then proceeded with learning our Square Lashing and Clove Hitch. I do have to point out that even though there were no Scout Meetings during the Circuit Breaker, we did some fun activities at home as well. Such as Ice Cream Making🍦 and Poster Colouring🖍️. We would have to post pictures and videos of the activities on the Pelican Scouts very own Facebook page.

 

These activities also helped our various sixes to gain extra points. We proceeded to join Breakout Rooms in our six. I manage to regain some knowledge on Lashing and Frapping. We ended off with a few notes on various points. Despite some early teething problems with the connection. The first Scout Meeting went smooth sailing. Thank You!
