My brain has clearly been rewired.

I read on my feed about @OxgardenZ using loo roll tubes for gardening and I automatically think I maybe should be saving them for Cubs activities…

They don’t tell you this when you make that first volunteering enquiry! 😆

Time to do preparation for ca 3 weeks time…and maybe even further ahead. We’ll see how things progress.

It shouldn’t require that much prep, but I’d like to not have too much going on, as I don’t know what time I’m going to have until my new schedule beds in. And one of those things finally needs put properly into motion as it’s a larger project, and ultimately an ongoing long term project (as @themself knows 😉).

You know what fun, fun, fun I won’t be having in the sun, sun, sun?

Code Of Conduct typing up.

Each of the Sixes did their suggestions at the last Meeting, the sandwich filling in the bread of my “fun” activities.

Now I have make them into something to put on the Scout Hut wall for them follow.

And should count towards Module 15 validation.

Today’s delivery.

Yup, another book for #Scouting.

I know there is training provided by #Scouts for many of these things I’m buying books for, or others could mentor me (which would be great), but I don’t think you can have too much information.

And I’m enjoying getting into all these things, or even more so for those I had a cursory interest in previously. Fires don’t come into that latter category.

My Group's Scout Hut.

I said I was puggled after Saturday. It was, to an extent, a turn of phrase. Certainly compared to what I did this early this afternoon.

The Scout Hut entrance area and steps needed a bit of a tidy. So I decided to do it. Rather pleased with it.

My Scout Group necker, as presented to me last night at my Investiture.

Swear I’m an inch taller after my Investiture.

The Cub Leader got the 4 Sixers to read a line or so each of my chosen variation of The Scout Promise, which I repeated back whilst doing the Scout Sign. And then I shook hands with the Cub Leader.

Very special.

And so I’m an Assistant Cub Scout Leader proper now. 😊

(One of the most outgoing Cubs came over to congratulate me. They are going to be quite the Sixer when it’s their turn. 😀 )

Email just came in for First Aid module course opportunities. And I’ve hopefully successfully booked myself on the 1st one.

Glad I noticed that. Looks like I was 2nd person to book. Just awaiting the confirmation.

Always thought I should do a First Aid course, and now being involved with #Scouting has brought it about.

Canoeing with the scouts today. Lovely day!

There was a double dose of #Scouting in the post this morning. Doubly impressive as they were only posted yesterday! Take a bow Scoutadelic and Burntstuff for excellent customer service and items.

At the World Scout Jamboree
It was chaos like never before seen
Heat and snakes abound
And Typhoon's sapped the ground
Promising an experience never to be forgotten!

In all these reports on the BBC they keep giving a £3500 figure for the average UK Scouts cost of going to this World Scout Jamboree. In our local newspapers the Explorer Scouts from our East region give a figure of £4000.

"n May 2018, five officials from the province went on an eight-day trip to Switzerland and Italy under the pretext of investigating successful jamboree hosting cases.

The trip included visits to tourist attractions, such as Interlaken, Lucerne, Milan and Venice. Switzerland and Italy, however, had no experience hosting jamborees." #Scouting #SouthKorea
