First Meeting

First meeting back. It's quite early in the year but we managed to get a fair turn out. All six PLs and APLs turned up as well as three scouts (small patrols!) and the young leaders also made an appearance.

The evening programme involved a game to start, followed by some patrol time where they could choose their new patrol names. Meantime we laid out print outs of all the available badges they could take part in, and were asked to choose three to work towards. We followed with a 10 minute first aid session on DRSABC (Danger, Response, Shout for help, Airways, Breathing and Circulation). We intend to follow the first aid course throughout the term to gain the first stage of the emergency aid badge. Hot air balloons have been delayed due to the wind.

A final game to finish off the meeting and a quick talk about what we're looking to do over the next few weeks. The announcement of the service crew proved popular with 7 of the 9 scouts signing up for the first session in a few weeks.
