Second week back in the new year and it’s time to try the challenge of the boat afloat SS GB educational box. Everything you need is provided by the team at the SS Great Britain. Quick briefing and the patrols collected their equipment and planned their boats. Tape, elastic bands, motors and much more with the task to get their model from one end of the water tank to the other the fastest. There were lots of trial and error and then the final boats were launched one at a time with the stop watch recording which was fastest. Top points went to Merlins then Eagles, Hawks, kestrels and finally Falcons. Lots of fun and sense of competition with under water proposition and above water fans, streamlining and more tape holding everything together. Great job tonight by all the scouts plus big ty to SS GB education team. Tonight the OSR scout troop started back with investitures of Alex, Serafina, Isabelle, Paige and Omar who were all happy to join the troop officially after a term of getting to know the scouts/ leaders and all our activities. Then we presented Jamal with his Gold Chief Scouts Award, 4 years of hard work and we wish him well moving up into Explorer scouts. The rest of the evening was spent playing team games and enjoying being back together after the Christmas break. Let’s hope 2022 is a better year and we all enjoy our scouting. |
