Well, we brought our friends, and we really showed them what we're all about! An evening of hilarity and insanity ensued, fueled by mysteriously appearing pots of sweeties...
Based vaguely on the old (sorry Vee!) TV show, we had to face a series of challenges in teams, and had to select the friend best suited to that type of game. The knot racing was great fun to watch and commentate on, while the old favourite of crossing the sea-floor on too few raft-chairs was as dangerous and brilliant as always.
We tried to be as nice as we could to newcomers Claire, Lucy, and the four Guides whose names I have completely forgotten (oops, I told you I was bad with names, please tell me!) but as soon as we realised points were in it, they just got absorbed into the general melee of craziness! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves - it certainly looked like they did!
We only lost the Game once, riiiight at the end! So I suppose, really, the friends couldn't have got a true picture of what it's like to lose 12 times in a one and a half hour session!
Kudos to Vee for her ingenious blend of activities old and new, ranging from the spaghetti obstacle course (always one for a chuckle) to a race with water and holey cups (need I say more than wet?) to Capture the Flag, which (un)fortunately wasn't as violent as it could have been, given the aforementioned wetness.... but we did break the flags! (and fixed them. We're handy, Rangers)
Next week we are sailing - details to follow, I can only assume....

I thoroughly enjoyed last night - sometimes I think it's more entertaining to watch the fun and games!
ReplyDeleteNext week we are at the Scout Hut due to sailing club not available but I have booked a bouncy castle so we will do our end of term BBQ, cooking and games instead and sail in the last week.
WE ARE AT THE SCOUT HUT ON MONDAY!
Ahh, okay! :)
