Activity Day 1

Today's main task was to re-configure the event hangar to a suitable format for the NYE party. This involved having to move all of the centre wires from the floor into the roof, which I was delighted with as it meant I could go onto the overhead runway!

Other small tasks in the day included helping set up for a church service and supervising the 'village green'.

I have also observed and been told that in New Zealand, badge trading is a massive deal. Each Troop must bring at least 500 of their own custom made badges to the event which their kids will trade with other kids. I've already been given 6/7 different badges without even really doing much. This whole point was emphasised when it was absolutely teeming down with rain, yet there was a huge group of kids stood getting soaked for ages whilst trading badges.Læs mere
