Egg Drop and Paper PlaneDrop Outs!

If you did not attend the meeting when we did the Egg Drop you can still complete the challenge by making your egg vehicle using the materials in the previous post below.

Bring it along to a meeting before the end of term to get your tick, and a cream egg if your egg survives!

If you missed the paper plane making, make them using the instructions at www.paperairplanes.co.uk/planes.php.

You must make;

1. Helicopter
2. The Rapier
3. The Classic Dart (Pete's)
4. Origami Paper Airplane 3

Bring to a meeting and show to me!

History

Originally B-P. had envisaged Scouting as a movement for boys between the ages of 11 and 18. As early as 1909 Scoutmasters were facing the problem of younger brothers wanting to join in the fun. Some just turned a blind eye to the age of some of the boys, others formed Patrols and Troops of Junior or Cadet Scouts.

To address the problem of what to do with the younger brothers, Scouting first turned a blind eye to the unofficial Troops that were forming.
In 1914, though, B-P. outlined a scheme in The Headquarters Gazette for the training of these Junior Scouts, but it was not what he really had in mind.

He replaced this two years later with a new Scheme, under the title Wolf Cubs based around the Jungle Books of his close friend Rudyard Kipling, with the Cubs having their own distinct uniform, badges, motto, sign, salute, etc.

Wolf Cubs dealt with those too young to be Scouts, what was to be done with those too old to be Scouts, in 1917, just before the end of The Great War, B-P. set up a scheme for Senior Scouts, which changed its name to Rover Scouts the next year, for anyone over the age of 18, with Outdoor Adventure and Service as the mainstays of its programme.
