Bowling Night!
Streee-ike!
I wish I could say I said that, but in truth I only managed a few. With the fourteen Scouts also aiming for Strikes or Spares to get their Two Left Welly points. We were ably assisted by a very helpful lady to set up the lane information (she was quite polite when I started to spell FROG and she said it was one of the few names this evening she just knew how to spell! )
All the lanes had their sides up – which I have to admit that I may have made use of during one bowl – but it meant that the Scouts bowling balls at least got to the end… although some were having a good look at their surroundings as they slowly meandered the way down…
A fun evening which I think everyone enjoyed. Only 3 Scouts didn’t get a strike or a spare… but as the Leaders did get enough “extras” in their bowling no-one missed out on the points. The final scores (for those scoring over 100) were:
Jamie – 101
Jordy – 101
Oskar – 108
Alan – 135
Frog – 137 (two points! Just 2 points!!!)
Anyway, that is the last of the formal Scout meetings for this term; a new programme will be drawn up and circulated to Scouts soon.
Hi this is a begging blog….
(As editor, I decided that I could hijack TLW for this request)
Apologies to you all sending this so soon after Comic Relief. I’ve entered the Asthma UK 10K run at Dorney Lake, Windsor on Easter Saturday. Rather than shake a giant can under everyone’s noses, I’ve set up a “Just giving” webpage at:
www.justgiving.com/davidgrewcock
so that should you wish to donate you can.
I thank you if you do and understand if you don’t.
But thanks for reading this blog post.
With kindest and warmest regards
David
Cooking Evening – part 1
What a fun evening!
After beating the Scouts at the first game (to make up the fourth team!) we then moved onto a bit of theory around camp hygene. Rather than focus on teaching, we instead got the boys to do the thinking through the use of Mind mapping diagrams.
After, we then moved into the really good part of the evening – cooking. For some (especially the two Cubs that started their Link to the Troop) this was really good fun. Only a few pancakes missed the pan when tossed (and I’ll admit that half of mine missed… by that I mean I flipped one pancake and half made it back into the pan and the other half was neatly cut by the pan edge and landed on the floor. Luckily only Ivor saw it, so it’ll be our secret… unless one of you spill the beans that is…!)

After the cooking comes the washing up, and it was a bit of a rush to get the pans tidied and cleared away – the cookers went into the store a little warm… but we’ll use them again next week, so it won’t be too bad.
So that’s it… the first step towards the Chef’s Badge.
We have already warned the Scouts (and the parents that were in the hall) that we will be expecting the Scouts to cook a 3-course meal to be signed off by their parents/willing guests.
