The area looks totally deserted and the buildings are in ruins. This can't be our timelline but we better quickly find some stuff to survive | |||||
05 May 17:05 | 10 | Game : Survival of the Fittest | Hide various survival items around the play area. Eg. matches, tarpaulin, flint, torch, knife, axe, food tin, rope, first aid kit, water, shovel, lantern, compass, blanket, etc. Cubs need to search out the items and add them to their list. You then give them the scenario (where are they stranded) and they must choose only 5 items to keep based on the scenario (e.g. dessert - water takes priority, forest - maybe compass so they don't get lost in the trees). No real right or wrong answers - just for fun and to see how they reason out what they need. | Akela | |
We are going to learn some trail signs so that we can do some exploring and see where we are without getting lost | |||||
05 May 17:15 | 15 | Activities : Trail Signs | Two sets of 3-by-5 index cards for each team (each of the first set bearing a drawing of a trail sign; each of the second set with the definition of one of the trail signs) |
Sixes are seated around their table with the two sets of cards in the middle. The cards with the pictured trail signs are placed face down; the cards with the definitions are spread out face up. On signal, the first Cub from each patrol draws one of the face down cards and places it on the correct definition card. Continue until all cards are matched.

Since we are lost, how can we get people to find us? What can we use to make a big distress signal? | |||||
05 May 17:30 | 15 | Activities : Knots Practice |
Ropes for all Cubs Props (eg. rocking horse, washing, pegs, staves, box, shoes, etc.) |
The attachment can be printed out for Cubs to take home to continue practicing their knots. Set up various scenarios for each of the different knots so that the Cubs can associate the knots with the names and uses. Print out signs for each area/base to help the Cubs remember the name of the knot. Knot Challenge: A tick list for each Cub is created so that each week, they can come and show off which knots they remember. Will need to get each knot signed off two/three times on separate occassions. Once the sheet is completed, they will earn a special campfire knotting badge.

If we are lost, we need to make a noise for the searchers to find us. Lets play a game and practice. | |||||
05 May 17:50 | 15 | Game : Hot and Cold |
Play a round of hot and cold. Place an object (or it can be a Cub that is lost in the veld) at a point. One of the other Cubs is blindfolded and must find the object/Cub. The rest can give clues by shouting "hot" or "cold". Alternatively, one Cub can be the director and use a whistle to signal (softly and louder). Can link to a talk on distress signals and shouting for help/using a whistle to signal to searchers. |

We are finally going back to our own timeline. Follow the trail and remember the item next to each sign along the way. | |||||
