Scouts enjoyed Kim Shield Challenge

Our Patrol, Mirage, recently participated in the Gauteng Provincial "Kim Shield Challenge" held in the suburbs of Northern Johannesburg. They succeeded in securing overall "4th place" with 3305 points. Crucial to this challenge was when to play a trump card which provided addtional points. The patrol was succesful in almost doubling their points at 5 of the 68 bases.

Photos to follow.

Cub Challenge

During the School Holidays, Hathi built an airplane (see below) and brought it to the Cub meeting at the start of the new school term. This was built using waste cardboard.

A challenge was given at the Cub meeting to our Cubs to also build an airplane out of waste items.

Pictures below are of three airplanes made by our Cubs which were brought to last Fridays Cub meeting

 

Well done Cubs

Spring Greeting from Japan : JOTI connection

Dear Scout Friends,

After long winter, we are enjoying spring season here in Japan.

And a month of April is very special to Japanese people because a fiscal year starts from this month and also school too.  

When we say Spring!  It is cherry blossom!

I have posted the messages, with theme of “Cherry Blossom and Scouts,” from our scouts on our English Web site.  There are also the messages from other scout groups in our neighbor district.  Please visit following Web site with your scouts and enjoy our cherry blossom together.

Assistant Troop Scouter joins our Scout Group

On Friday, 2nd March 2012, our Group Scouter and District Commissioner had the pleasure in investing a parent of one member of our Scout Group as an Adult Leader. Shane joins the Scout Group as an Assistant Troop Scouter assisting Steve, our Troop Scouter, with the running of the Troop.

Shane brings additional Scouting experience to the Group. In his younger years he was Scout at 2nd Kensington Scout Group where he attained the highest Scouting Award, the Springbok Scout Award.

Also in attendance at the investiture were members of his family who are also members of the Scout Movement. It was also a very proud day for his father who was also a member of the Scout Movement in his much younger days.
