Instructions

Evening starts with Flag Break. 10mins

Each activity is supervised by a leader (depending on how many volunteers you have)
Safety briefing is given for ironing and needle work.

1. Iron Necker. Young person is shown how to use an iron, safety briefing given again. Shown the label on Necker with reference to the irons functions.

2. Back Pack packing. Young people are given items they do and don't need to pack for a camp. Type and length of camp can be discussed with young people.
Having them show you in a small group with them discussing where and why they should put items is a good learning exercise for communication, reasoning and understanding. Volunteer can then show them how and why to pack a certain way, demonstrating along the way.

3. Camp gadget. These are a lovely way to develop knots and lashings. Young people can compete against one another or work within a small team. Creating items they would use on camp and understanding what types of lashings and knots they would use.

4. Needle work. Mending or customising an item of clothing. We use scrap clothing to sew items back together, mending them, attaching old badges to items, or even using embroidery thread to customise an item of clothing. This is good for hand eye Co ordination, fine motor skills and enables them to sew on their own badges at a later date.

Young people are able to rotate around each activity developing their current skills or learning new ones.
They are given a piece of card to take with them and have initialed by a volunteer once they have competed their activity.
They can spend as much or as little time on each activity, depending on how volunteers wanted to have the session.
Approx 80 mins for all activities to be complete.

If you have a senior patrol this is a good evening to help develop their leadership skills. Or young leaders, can help assist with a less demanding activity.

Clear up 10 mins

Finish with a game of choice.
True or False Questions relating to the evening, young people to run, skip, crawl or jump to the answer they suspect. 10 min.

Close with quick review of the evening and Flag down 10 min.
End session.
