Scouts, Scouts In Action

Well tonight we had lots of excitement.  Not only was it the first night of a weekend camp at the den but our program was dealing with emergency situations and first aid. Don’t be alarmed!  Their injuries are all fake.

Echidna whipped up several lots of edible blood (both arterial and venous using golden syrup, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup and food colouring) and did her best to plaster the scouts with various forms of cuts, burns and open wounds.  Not to mention head injuries and snake bites!

Our three scouts working on Adventurer level citizenship and emergencies target badges (Elliot, Joseph & Rodhana) developed some mock emergencies that we ran through on bases dealing with head injuries, snake bite, shock, broken arms, gashes and heart attack.  We learned a lot and had much fun fixing each other up.

Perhaps most excitingly the scouts think that their wounds will be excellent come Spooky Halloween Disco in a few weeks’ time and we look forward to a number of different zombies emerging!

It was a great way to start our weekend camp.

Scouts, Scouts In Action

The theme for Scouts in Action Month (SIAM) this year was the Environment.  This year the scout section took a different approach and rather than just a single evening event we addressed environmental issues every week in different ways for the month of August.  The scouts played Kim’s game with rubbish. Had discussions about the environmental impact of harvesting and burning wood and how they can do so in a friendlier manner.  We ran a discussion base on the impact of climate change on coastal regions and how what we do every day in our own homes can have a positive impact.

Joeys, Scouts In Action

All of the Joeys worked very hard this term, and especially during August (which is Scouts in Action Month). The mob spent 4 weeks focusing on the environment and exploring a different theme each week with Bagheera, Wolf and Rikki.

The theme for the month – ‘Scouts in the Environment’ – allowed the Joeys the opportunity to discover the world around them whilst having a lot of fun. Recycling; Clean water, clean Air; Animals and their habitat; People in the environment (who works in it and why); the habitat in their own backyards and gardening and preservation/conservation all gave the Joeys the chance to learn new things and to really think about humans and the environment.

As Junior Joey rangers, they explored the environment around the den, the local neighbourhood, at BP Park and finally at Beelarong Community Farm – finding out what trees grow in their location, what kinds of animals live there and how they could help ( not littering, planting trees and attracting native animals to their gardens). The Joeys also made native bee hives from recycled tins and donated one to Beelarong as thank you gift.

They each earned the following badges – Joey Environment Challenge badge and the Scouts in Action Month badge.

They also each achieved an international Scout badge that requires a lot of extra work and participation in a community activity: the World Scout Environment Badge. The final part of the badge is taking part in a local community activity. The Joeys visited Beelarong Community Farm for this final task.

B-R-A-V-O Joeys for all your hard work and a thank you to our families for their support with this badge work.

Yours in Scouting,
