Pack Holiday 2007 - Bromham - "Scouting Through the Ages and Around the World"

There is an accompanying detailed program with more information on activities, games etc. Note the return to a detailed program and a leader rota. We had many more leaders than in recent years from various groups, some inexperienced. The program reverted back to detailed times and events and the leaders notes contain explanatios for each and every item. A wealth of supporting material was also available at the camp.

Notes:

1. As is now our tradition we have a large folder containing all relavent materials and information for the program as well as each leader being given a program and information pack. This year this included the sheets for the rooms, sixes, codes, groups on the days out, games and much much more. There were hundreds of worksheets and puzzle sheets and help sheets to do with all aspects of Scouting and the programme. We had a massive display of material and books, from all ages of Scouting, to help the Cubs throughout the week.

2. The times went back to being detailed in full as we went back to a rota system and it was important that each workgroup knew what to do and when to ensure a smooth transition. Some of the leaders were also relatively inexperienced and so the programme and notes were much more detailed than normal.

3. As is usual we didnt follow the program exactly. The site offered a campfire midweek and we gladly accepted and it was run by the man who is responsible for the UK Campfire Leaders 'club', it was excellent. They also ran one for us at the end of the week.

4. I have a massive amount of material to back up the programme. Email me for more details.
