The meeting that we have just finished was about Knots and Lashing. During the meeting we divided them into four groups, from elementary to advanced levels. Items covered included Shoelaces, Reef Knot, Sheet Bend, Round Turn & Two half-hitches, Clove Hitch and Bowline. After they learnt, they were asked to demonstrate to the leaders that they really understand on how to make the knots. The first two were targeted for the Cub Scout Award while the other four are targeted for the Cub Scout Adventure Crest Award.
The cubs all paid attention in learning how to make the knots and everyone of them could pass the test. |
Today, we visited Ma On Shan Fire Station. We gathered at RCHK first and finished the linguistic badge test before we moved to the Fire Station.
We walked from RCHK to the Fire Station. It took us around 25 mins to go there. We were divided into two groups and were guided by different Fire officers to different sites within the Fire Station. We learnt a lot about fire fighting equipments. It was an eye-opening experience for both cubs and leaders. |
