We had a brilliant team preparation weekend where we all got together to do various activities. We had an outside speaker from in4mers letting us discover more about HIV/AIDS and the risks that exist and busted lots of myths. We also did lots of team building activities and discussed how to communicate.
We split into three patrols for duties and learnt how to cook on an open fire, wash hygienically and clean properly.
In the evening we chilled out and had a camp fire with some Scouts camping in the field next to us.
The next day we had the chance to go on some water walkerz which were great fun and learnt how to roast three whole chickens on an open fire :-)
We also spent ages working on the lesson plans and deciding which books we wanted to take with us and the activities we want to try and do given the limited resources we will have. Other members of the group spent time finalising our activities and coming up with some songs and games.
