25 May 2021 Scouts and Explorers again today. I started my journey on getting the patrol system back up and running after the covid induced breaks. We had our first patrol leader forum where they get to plan what they want to work on and try over the next half term. It is one of the key differentiators with Scouts over other youth groups. Without the young people shaping it, what is the point? They often have interesting ideas and are not given the opportunity to make them happen. I am still trying to get to a point where the patrol leaders run activities and I am there to ensure they have what they need. It is a long journey and possibly not the right end point. However, I will find the happy medium which works for my group of young people along the way. They want to do more arty things this term. Not surprising after lots of map work. There were a few requests for a camp too.... Sadly not possible at the moment. However, we will have a day in the woods playing with fire instead!! The Explorers went to a local park to play a game of rounders. There was lots of slipping and sliding on the rather sodden grass. All good fun.
