Instructions

Split the explorers into smaller groups.

Group one are given a couple of pieces of white paper and colouring pencils and instructed to design a flag that will represent the unit when camping or at events outside of the hut. They are to design a flag for the unit. Once a design has been agreed the most confident explorer can copy this onto a flag using the markers.
