Centenary open weekend

Well the weeks of hard work paid off. We’ve just finished our open weekend and exhibition for our centenary. Was great fun but i came home from each night feeling exhausted!

Satruday it all ran from 10-5. We didn’t have huge amounts of people come along but we did get a lot of interest for kids to join so its looks like our sections might grow a bit soon :D

Some of us had great fun learning to balloon model and i tried my hand at face painting. having never done it before i impressed myself with how well i did it :D

Sunday we had quite a bit more people come through the doors. As well as displays of old pictures and things we had displays made by the sections of what we do in scouting now. There were also activities for the kids and parents to try, badge making, junk boat making, knot boards, membership logo meaning, quiz, treasure hunt, circus skills, mock up camp, tea and cake and face painting. There was also a guy there with working lego models.

I think the kids enjoyed the lego and circus skills the best :D

Today, Monday, we had a really good turn out. My face painting was in more demand :) im getting good at it now;) we cut up the amazing looking cake we had made for us, me and my sister won the treasure hunt for our age groups, quite chuffed with that cus i never win anything. The dinning shelter in the mock up camp was sweet as a nut, we gotta get the explorers making them :D

Was kinda sad when we had to pack up cus it’d been such a great weekend showing off what us scouts do.

My month is still pretty busy with scouts. Next weekend is the beaver football tournement and the scouts incident hike, ive got a camp the weekend after and two weeks later is the beaver sleepover. Tommorrow night with the explorers were making flintstone cars, the beavers this week are having a visit from the PCSO, next week the explorers are canoeing and on the friday were having a big birthday party for all the sections which should be sweet! :D

I think now i shall go and try and wash the rest of this face paint off and head to bed because i am exhasuted!!
