Cohen Shield Skills day - Sun 13th Sept.
Scout participant from Coburg was Laughlan who joined up with members from 1st Coburg, 1st Oak Park & 1st Woori Yallock forming the The Radical Red Hawks Patrol! It was a great joint effort earning each group a Silver award flag to take back to their hall.
Scout participant from Coburg was Laughlan who joined up with members from 1st Coburg, 1st Oak Park & 1st Woori Yallock forming the The Radical Red Hawks Patrol! It was a great joint effort earning each group a Silver award flag to take back to their hall.
The activities were in the theme of commemorating 100yrs of ANZACS, including:
- constructing a catapult,
- cooking ANZAC biscuits in a firepit,
- using navigation techniques to make ground signals to direct overhead planes,
- planning for a soldier hike with pack weight limits in ounces and pounds,
- First Aid Injured soldier scenario, first aid quiz,and
- finally a safe or dangerous items memory test assessment.
A great day of learning or building on their own knowledge to earn skills badges!
Liz and I were both there assisting in assessing patrols in their First Aid knowledge and we learned a thing or 2 about the day as well!
