Harmelia Air Scouts enjoyed an afternoon of fun contacting fellow Scouts in the world.

Contact was received via e-mail from Serbia, Philippinnes and New Zealand whilst our Scouts made contact with Scouts located in Germany, Brazil, Japan and Australia. We also had a visit from our District Commissioner.

Ever flown a Cessna airplane (flight simulator version)? Well one of our junior Scouts had an attempt during our Joti meeting.

BP Sunday in North Rand Scouting District

2011-02-20T16:13:00.003+02:00

On 20 February, Cubs and Scouts from the various scout groups in our District celebrated Baden Powells birthday at a special scouting service held in the grounds of the 1st Hellenic Scout Group.

After the service the Cubs and Scouts from each group were split into teams of 5 members so that we could all participate in the fun events that were built by the 1st Hellenic Scouts. There were two very popular bases. These were "paintball" shooting and the other "archery",

The photos below show our Cubs at the start of the march, us during the march and us at the service that was held.

Food for Life is a programme put together by the South African Scout Association. The programme teaches Scouts and others how to grow food for the family, as well as equip them in benefitting from the skills they have acquired.

The Food for Life programme covers:
• Best place for my garden
• My tools
• Making a trench bed
• My container garden
• Sowing seeds
• Mulching
• Caring for your crops
• Waterwise
• Harvesting
• Nutrition

Below, our Cubs are very proud of their Food for Life garden.

Our Scouts participated in the JotaJoti2010 event.

Messages were received from Spain, Canada, New Zealand, UK at start of the event.

At the start of our Scout meeting on Saturday each Scout was asked to select a country. We were shown how to log onto the JotaJoti website, select our chosen country and a Scout Group and to send a greetings message. Our reply greeting to Scouts that replied to us included an audio morse code wav file. The Scouts needed to crack the morse code.

We also participated in the JAMPUZ (bingo) event.
