Tonight in preparation for Mothering Sunday the OSR scouts took on the challenge of Arts and Crafts. Who’s says we only do action packed activities! So the scouts had two challenges first a personalised card and secondly a glass candle holder. On your marks, get set, gooooooo. So using their creative talents they set to work and there were some fab results I know all the mums will love seeing what their scout/s have achieved. Good job all. Today the OSR Scouts attended Tesco Bradley Stoke bagpacking for The Purple Angels (Dementia Charity) during the charities awareness weekend and our upcoming Cyprus Camp coach hire to Birmingham Airport. The weather outside was glorious but we still had 20 scouts give up either 3 hours or the whole 6 hours event. All in smart uniform and being Dementia Aware the scouts we’re able to explain to the customers why we were there and what the charity is all about. We collected £730.40 which will be split between the two causes. Good job all BIG well done and many thanks for all your hard work also ty to all the customers that donated and a special ty to Dawn for organising the fundraising for us. Tonight the OSR Scouts had a second visit from Stephen to help complete the Astronautics Activity Badge with a presentation on craters and the differences between Earth, Mars and the Moon. Rockets and their component parts and how they’re able to produce lift etc. Then the practicals on crater formation using cement trays with soot and bearings. Plus thrust experiments with old film cases, water and energy tablets. The scouts learnt a lot and had loads of fun. BIG TY to Stephen for all his help getting the OSR scouts through their badge. Tonight the OSR scout troop attended Woodhouse Park Communications Hut to complete part 2 of the badge with Rex and Peter. We had 3 bases (phonetics, morse and ameature radio). It was cold outside but the scouts used their knowledge of the basics to complete messages in morse code, phonetic messages and logging radio stations and talking on the radio. Rex prepared a written test comprising of all the elements of the badge which everyone passed. |
