#ScoutingUK Tonight we were due to do the DIY badge. Three stations: - Safety and isolating utilities - Practical skills - Change a car tyre, check oil levels, etc. (one of our leaders is a mechanic and wanted to run a bit of a session) However, that did not happen. Two of the leaders pulled out of the season last minute for various reasons. This left us with rejigging the session to make it possible for two people to run, or changing the programme. After chatting to our resident mechanic and his son, who is also a Scout, we decided to make the most of the good weather. We created a new session around fire lighting, with a game of capture the flag, and a couple of songs. Fairly chilled evening, and not only do we have next weeks session planned, but I’ve also realised that I included the Early May Bank Holiday in our programme and was struggling for session ideas towards the end of term, so removing the bank holiday Monday means I have less to plan 😀
