Scout has been working hard on his last few Tenderfoot requirements...
...fusing and whipping rope...
...and tying knots...
...At the Scout meeting they gave out the new uniforms - we had an anonomous donor give money to the troop to buy everyone a new Centennial uniform - Scout is trying his on - they were all too big - but with a nip and tuck here and there we should be able to make it fit - and he will grow into it - now I've got to order all those Centennial patches...
...then the boys got busy on their patrol flag...
...they call themselve the 'Eagle Patrol'...
...and their patrol yell has something to do with the word SNARF - so they put that on there too - I'm not sure about why that is there - but it's not up to me...
...finally Scout met with his Scoutmaster to demonstrate his knots - now there's only the Board of Review left and he'll be a Tenderfoot!
Ah, clothes bought with 'room for growth'! At the rate children grow it is a necessity.
ReplyDeleteI love the banner, they are all so intent on the job in hand.
I only went to one Girl Guide meeting and was overwhelmed by the numbers there. I was a 'baby boomer' and we swamped the system in the fifties and sixties. In my first year at infant school when I was five there were 54 children in my class - and that wasn't unusual.
So, I joined 'The Girls Life Brigade' at the Methodist Church Hall and loved it. We didn't do all the badges and stuff, but we played games and put actions to songs - most of which I can still do fifty years later!
hey - congrats to scout! snarf...that's cute!
ReplyDeletei'll be sure to tell robert.
