Incident night

The incident night was on programme and was learning based on the forthcoming operation starling.

We started the night with a snowball fight (the idea coming from the escouts forum). The snowballs are screwed up newspaper with tape wrapped round them. I made 45. We then divided up the hall into thirds and the scouts had to defend their patch and clear it of snowballs. This means you had a large quantity of flying paper for a couple of minutes at a time. We'd then shout 'freeze', count up the snowballs and get everyone to rotate clockwise round the hall. Then started again.

This was followed by the incidents which were changing a tyre on a car, simple first aid casulty (old lady suffering from shock) and playing a game of pairs with map symbol cards.

After this we tried five different types of prepackaged hike food, scored them and finished the evening!
