GROUP NIGHT DIARY: Elfins Camp Kit List Activity - 1 May 2014

This week we used our Elfins group night to start out group on the journey towards their first badge - I Begin. This badge is awarded in recognition of Elfins having a sense of loyalty and belonging to their Woodcraft Group. We are going away on a residential in two weeks so decided to use the preparation of a group kit list as the theme for gaining the I Begin badge.


The I Begin badge is awarded on completion of 5 elements:

1. Six Weeks Membership - the majority of the Hebden Bridge group have done this
2. Draw or colour the Woodcraft Folk symbol - we're going to make a large one to leave at Height Gate
3. Be Helpful - Elfins always help tidy away chairs, set up snacks and prepare activities
4. Pass a Message - we'll do this at camp
5. Learn and participate in 4 co-operative games

We split our Elfins into 4 groups, got them to draw around one of their number on a large sheet of paper, and then supported them to work as teams to draw all the items they'd need to take on camp. Here are some pictures of them hard at work.
