Last week, the Cub Scouts were given a lesson on how to pack their bags for Camp. The idea was to show them that they can, and must, do their own packing. With so many going to May camp, and 20 heading to Cuboree, it was important they understood why we only pack essentials aad not electronic devices or take banned items.
We also provided them with tips on how to keep their bags in order - such as using large zip lock bags to help with dressing each day., Saves having to ruffle through your bag to fine the socks and jocks at the bottom of it. Making sure they understood the importance of a first aid kit and why we need to respect each others property.
In the end they had fun, and even got to growl at Bagheera for packing banned food items. Not only that he was in trouble from Quokka for raiding the kids food items from home. Never seen so many happy faces when he got told off for that one!
Hopefully now they will pack thier own bags and not come to us saying I don't have this and that - ok so I am dreaming, hey got to believe in the magic :)
