Campfire Night

Toasting marshmallows and singing around a campfire.  This was our Joeys introduction to the scouting campfire traditions.

Joey Jaunt

We started our Jaunt with Rock wall climbing which was quite touch on the little muscles to get them up the wall.  We also discovered with the Activity co ordinators that some of our Joeys didn't have enough body weight to then get back down and had to be rescued from the top by the instructors.  An interesting way to start the day.

 

We enjoyed lots of different activities including singing, obstacle courses, building with cardboard boxes, Water rockets and creating paper aeroplanes.

We explored old army jeeps and

Raced around in Chariots

 

And we ended the day with a Go cart race.  It was lots of fun!

Our Cardboard Rockets

The Joeys were all completely absorbed in creation on Friday night as we followed on from our trip to the Planetarium and created our own cardboard rockets.  Here are some of our creations.

Visit to the Planetarium

Wow what a great adventure we had today. 

The Joeys were all very entertained by the "Secret of the Cardboard Box"  Which was a great show that took us past and into all the planets in our solar system.  The Joeys all seemed to enjoy the experience and we had a good look around at the space suit and pictures of the planets and the displays in the planetarium. 

Thanks to Bagheera who joined us for the event and to all the parents for driving the Joeys out to the Botanical Gardens.
