Well done to our fabulous team in the Shield Competition at the weekend. We were thrilled to see how well ye made the site look and how well you took part in every task thrown at you over the busiest weekend in the scout calendar. We are well proud of the 7 of you!
!
The Shield Patrol team build a prep table and dresser combo, an excellent dining table and seating, a very well constructed fireplace and a quad pod style gate sporting the 47th and 6th sings and the Douglas colours.
In between building a site, they built a raft in Inniscarra area, cooked two course test meal, ran a stall ( sponge throwing) and still managed to fit in a campfire sketch and other games and activities such as pie eating, cup stacking, feeling what;s in the bucket (scary lobster and worms etc!) and designed a Douglas flag and a Douglas shield that will be coming on many a camp as seo amach.
And the 47th were awarded with 3rd prize for the Indoor Inspection held earlier in the year (so well done all) and the 6th were awarded first in Orienteering and 3rd in the Survival Weekend, as well as having won the Inter Troop Quiz in December
.
What a weekend! What a year!A big thank you to the John’s friend with the van for transporting our gear, and to Vickie and Shane for helping dismantle our site and pack the gear. And a big HAND to John who cut his own hand.
