SINCLAIR SAILINGS

DECEMBER 2016

WELCOME Sinclair District newsletter

FREE FOR THE TAKING

At the October Roundtable I IDianna) gave away items from Carolyn’s Scout sheds. Again in November I gave away more. Each month I will be taking a few items to Roundtable meetings. There is some great stuff there for the taking. You never know what I might show up with. Tents, sleeping bags (these items unchecked), camp utensils, and who knows what all I will be taking. The Neimi family thanks those who have come over to help out, Bruce Quaintance, Judy Kerman, James Detmar, and Dianna Fife as well as her son Richard J. Fife. Over 71 hours have been put in so far. And the surface has just been scratched. Rich Niemi would like to have another major work party sometime after the holidays when the weather looks promising.

 

 

RECHARTER TIME

Did you pick up your recharter packet? They were at the October Roundtable. Chris did a good job of presenting how to go about filling out the information needed and how to turn it all in.  Please don’t be late in getting the recharters turned in. It makes it a lot easier if you don’t have to rush before the end of the year.

Remember ALL adults must have current Youth Protection. This is an online course. It is easy to take from the comfort of your own home or office or where ever you have access to the Internet.

Chris and Bill were working on these at the November Roundtable.  Please contact one of them if you need help.

 

BLUE

AND

BANQUET TIME

For you new parents you may want to know what Blue and Gold parties are. It is the birthday party for Load Baden Powell who started the Scouting movement. It is the Cub’s way of saying Happy Birthday to him and to us. This is held close to the 8^th of February but can be any time in the month but always in February.

OK OK some may think this is too early to start talking about it but really it isn’t.  If you haven’t started planning please do so now. Here are a few helpful hints on planning.

1.  Pick a THEME for the Pack to work on

    This can be anything, within reason, that the boys like, Dinosaurs, circus, Knights in armor, animals, science, wild west etc. Think about themes used at Day Camps for ideas.

2.  FOOD this is a meal time

    Decide on what kind you will have. Is it a pot luck, a catered pot luck (some of the food brought in and some provided by the families), a meal prepared by the adults in a kitchen or going out to a buffet restaurant. These are a few options you may want to think about. One thing to remember, some people are allergic to some foods so please consider this when planning your food. If pot luck have the ingredients listed on a card with the food so if someone is allergic to an ingredient they can pass it up. You may want to ask that parents turn in a list of food allergies so those ingredients are not used. Just because someone doesn’t like something is not saying they are allergic to it. Peanuts and other nuts can have severe reactions to even death so remember that. Some people have a reaction to foods with Gluten. I know people who have breathing reactions to some foods such as coconut and onions. I myself have severe reactions to black and white pepper. You sure don’t want to have to call for a rescue unit to come to your party. The kids may think that was the highlight of the night but not for the parents of the youth who just went to the hospital.

     Is this a charge for banquet? If so how much are you charging. Parents don’t want to spend a lot of money so try to keep it simple.

      A catered pot luck might be pizza (plug here for our Dist. Commissioner – Spiro's pizza is awesome) and parents provide a side of different salads and deserts and drinks.

       Most people like spaghetti and this can be made ahead of time and frozen. Then put the frozen cooked spaghetti in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes and there you have hot steaming cook spaghetti in less than half the time to cook it. Make up meatballs and freeze them cooked, again let thaw and put in a heated oven to warm up. Same way with the sauce, cook and freeze or buy in a jar made up. You may want to consider different flavors of sauce. Then parents provide a side dish and bread.

3.  INVATATIONS should be made out and sent or handed out in January.

    Boys should make out invitations for parents (siblings too), grandparents, aunts/uncles, teachers, best friends (including family – you might get a new boy to join this way as well as an active adult, you never know) and be sure to ask your Charter Partner to come. This might be the pastor if you meet at a church or the head of the organization. Another good invitation is to the custodian of the location you meet.  That person who makes sure you have a clean meeting room to walk into. You should always invite your Unit Commissioner if you have one. You can find out from the Dist. Commissioner who that person is. And lastly invite the Key 3. So who are the Key 3? Good question. They are the Dist. Commissioner, the Dist. Chair and the Dist. Executive. So now you are wondering who these 3 people are. Easy fix. Attend a Dist. Meeting or Roundtable. That is where you will learn who makes our great district work. Come and get to know these people as well as those who support the district in other ways. These meeting have people who are in the know, have been around for a while and ready to help you.

4.  THANK YOU gifts. Always thank your adults who work hard to make the Pack Go. These do not need to be expensive. Some cool ones that I have made and given are “The Spring-into-action” a piece of wood with a spring on it. Nothing fancy, or big just a piece of scrap wood with something as small as a spring from an ink pen glued on it and words written with a Sharpe marker. “BIG HAND” thank you, a latex glove filled with wrapped candy. I buy the candy filled carrots at Easter time and my grandkids get the candy from inside. Then I take 14 of them, paint them gold and then put on a ribbon for a necklace = 14 carrot gold necklace award. Give your Day Camp chair person a TY, and that can be something as simple as a toy tent. Your Popcorn Kernel should be thanked. That person may be tired of Popcorn so don’t give a box or bag of it but maybe a homemade recipe book on ways to use Popcorn. Pinewood Derby chair can get a Matchbox type car on a piece of wood. Never forget the spouses of the leaders. The ones who support the other in Scouting, recognize them.  Let them know they are appreciated as well. Every leader should get some little token of thanks that night.

5.  DECORATIONS should be made by each den. Start off with table decorations. A center piece and place mats. You may want to make place cards for all the people invited by your den and pack. Use the Theme your Pack picked. These need not be fancy. Even a snap clothes pin painted with blue and gold paint and the date on it and a printed business card with the person’s name on it. The room decorations can be done as a Pack. Take your January Pack meeting and have all work on them. ALWAYS ALWAYS use the KISMIF (Keep it Simple Make if FUN) in mind when doing all of it.

6.  ARRIVE EARLY don’t hold off until an hour before the meeting to decorate or start cooking. This way if you forgot tape, or ties maybe a cooking pot you have time to run out and get it. If you can, decorate the night before so you have time to relax and enjoy the night.

7.  ENTERTAINMENT can be anything as long as it is short and sweet. You may want a guest speaker but limit the talk to 20 minutes. Boys and siblings will get tired of listening to someone go on and on unless that person is funny. Each Den should have some sort of part in the program. Think back to Day Camps if you need a skit or a song. Only one Den should have a run-on skit. Each boy should have a part if a skit. Set up should be quick and easy. Noting that takes a long time. If doing a puppet show, have the “stage” ready to move into place. Have boys practice practice practice so they don’t stumble over words and have the speak up loud and clear. You may want to use a megaphone if you have a boy who is shy and doesn’t want to speak up. Sometimes that prop gives him enough courage to talk. Have them practice with the megaphone so they don’t yell into it. It is as bad to yell as not speak up loud enough.

8.   PROGRAM is a nice touch. Even if not everyone gets one of these the leaders need one so they know when their den will be up doing it’s part. They will know if they are doing the opening or closing flag and can have their boys ready to go. More than likely your MC is your Cub Master but not always so that person needs a copy of the program. Leader names and Den numbers then are a must on the MCs copy. That leaves guess work for that person. Programs can be as simple as a sheet of paper with the information on it or it can be a half or tri-fold program in black and white or color. Boys can hand these out as people arrive. The Den picked to do this then may elect to not do a skit or song. After the closing flag ceremony you may want to have a final closing with all doing Scout Vespers. If so all words need to be on the program.

            AS YOU CAN SEE this is why starting now is not too early to be prepared for your Blue and Gold. Have fun and enjoy it.

ELKS ANNUAL CUB SCOUT MARBLE TOURNAMENT

January 28, 2017  is coming  and what does that mean? Time for your Cubs to get out those bags of marbles and start practicing their game. The winners in each age level Wolf through Webelos II in each Pack can send those boys to the combined Orca/Sinclair run off hosted each year by the Elks Club of Bremerton. Your Pack meeting in January can be your event for the night or have it on another night as long as it is done before the 28^th of January. Check in is at 8:30am at the Elks Lodge off Pine Road in Bremerton. Late arrivals OK as long as the boy is checked in by 10am. Adults will be checking in the boys so don’t drop off and take off as the boy may not be allowed to take part.  When boys are checked in make sure they know their Pack number and what group they are in as well as be in a uniform shirt, pants may be jeans but must have the Cub blue or Scout  shirt on, neckerchiefs and hats optional.  Tigers and Lions are not allowed to take part in this event. Each boy who takes part will receive a certificate so don’t leave until they have checked out. The overall winner in the Wolf, Bear, Webelos I and Webelos II will be asked to return to the February meeting to receive a special award. FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD Place winners will receive a special certificate. Parents you will need to fill out a form so go run off without doing so.

Hopefully there will be a handout at the December Roundtable meeting.

 

 

THANK YOU ADULT AWARDS

    Each year Sinclair District thanks all the adults who have helped make Scouting a Success for the previous year. So the 2017 awards night will be for registered adults in 2016.  Forms are at most Roundtable meetings. The date for this years THANK YOU has not been set yet. Please pick up the forms, make copies, and fill them out. Then get them to a District meeting ASAP. Remember if there is just a name on the form the person may not be selected for that award. We NEED to know what the person did that makes them outstanding in your eyes. Saying they did a great job tells the committee very little about the person.

    This awards night is for ALL adults in every type of unit. This is not just for Cubs or Troops or Ventures or Crews or Explorers but for ALL adults. Once the date is picked please try to get your person(s) there so if they are selected by the committee they can be honored.

    Once the date is picked it will be listed here as well as on Facebook. Names of winners are not given out until that night. So get those forms filled out and names turned in. Sitting at your meeting location, on someone’s desk or table at home does no good. You can turn names into DE Chris, DC Bill, or to Judy Kerman or Dianna Fife. You can start now filling out forms on all the adults registered in your unit for 2017 to be turned in for 2018  awards night. That way you are not in that rush at the last minute “Oh gosh, what did so-n-so do”

    Forms include but not limited to Extra Mile, Little Scouter, Nautical Mile,  Unit Scouter (several different awards under this) and Sparkplug. There could be some awards given out that you don’t even know about. Some I don’t even know about. So get the names turned in and when the time comes for the awards night to happen get your adults to it so they don’t miss out on receiving their award.

 

 

MERIT BADGE COUNSELORS

If you are teaching a merit badge in the 2017 clinic and you have not completed MB training, this is a must attend training. Learn the BSA requirements for being a merit badge counselor. Get all of your questions about merit badge clinic answered.

The last fifteen minutes of the class will be spent on learning how to use the Orca merit badge website.

The clinic is scheduled to run Jan. 7, Jan. 21., and Feb. 4 from 0830 to noon.

If you can't make the training you can get it at your unit or online through BSA.

Requirements to be a counselor are:
1) current Youth Protection Training
2) current Adult Application (if new application, Code 42 is MB Counselor, and has no cost, if already adult leader, do not need a new application.)
3) Merit Badge Counselor Application (indicates MB's willing to be Counselor for, and qualifications for those MBs).

CUB AND WEBELOS DAY CAMP

    The theme is water. That is the only hint I am going to give away at this time. Ships and other boats, fishing gear, anything to do with water can make your den site fun for the boys. How about Pirates? Check yard sales and thrift stores.  I have talked with James one of the Camp Directors and he has some cool ideas for the boys to do.  Be sure to attend Roundtable and get your packets for Camps.

    Child Watch for the siblings will once again be offered. Ages for this are 3-12, sorry but Child Watch is not equipped to take children in diapers or feed them. Price for the entire day is just $15 for drop-in’s This includes most craft supplies and a morning and afternoon snack. Early registration is $12 per day. The kids who have been in Child Watch always have fun. There is always something for them to do to keep busy. They take home the crafts they made at the end of the day. Each day and week there is something new for them to do.  Pre-registration forms will be at Roundtables starting in January.  Have someone from your unit pick up the form and make copies for as many children as will be attending Child Watch.  Some of the things we have done in the past are Tie-Dye T’s (parents provide a clean no fabric softener used T in the size you want or pay $1.75 extra for that day), spin art, made volcanoes, necklaces, paper airplanes, kites just to name a few of the fun things we have done.

They begin at 7pm and located at the 1^st Christian Church just off Sidney Rd in Port Orchard.  Meetings are open to all interested adults. You need not be a registered Scouter to attend these.

PINEWOOD

DERBY RACE

     I have added a few hints in this months article so you may wish to read it again and see if you can spot them.

     Many Packs hand out the Pinewood Derby car kits in December. Just remember when it comes time to cut and design the car it is the BOY who is to make it. Many times the parent takes over the car and then who really builds it? The parent or boy? There is an OPEN CLASS race held by Sinclair District where dad’s, mom’s siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and anyone else who wants to build and race a car can. Adults or older siblings may help with the car but it is the Cubs/Webelos responsibility to do the work. In my 29 years of going to races as a parent and as Derby Staff I have seen many cars that there is no way the boy could have built it. The precision cuts are done by an adult. Some boys are good with saws and I am not disputing that but a master wood craftsman has made many of the winning cars. I have see parents take control of a car as it is checked in. This is a definite sign the parent made it.  Please don’t take the learning experience away from your boy. My son made his car all on his own. His first race he was dead last but HE made it. I have that car yet and am so proud of it because he learned what worked and didn’t so the next year as a Bear he did much better cutting and painting so no last place and by the time he was a Webelos II he was in the winners circle. A good way to ensure the cars are boy made is to have a Pack meeting or a special night or two picked where all the tools are there for their use. These range from patters and pencils to mark the wood to saws that the boys can handle such as a cooping saw, nothing large, dremels, files and sandpaper. Boys are not allowed to use power tools. Don’t forget safety glasses and dusk mask. The adults or older siblings can be there to help as needed to guide the boys. The Pack may want to invest in paints, glues, etc. to help attach any items the boy wants. I have seen Lego drivers, and dinosaurs as well as roll bars and other things added. Just remember that come the District run off all cars must fit within the guidelines and not weigh more that the alloted amount. Wheels must be regulation and not sanded down. Spare parts such as wheels and other decorations can be bought through the Scout Shop. Things like decals, the Lego people, etc can be brought from home. I have seen “cars” in the shape of military tanks, submarines, a mouse, an 18 wheeler tractor, a John Deere tractor, baseball bat, lightning bolt, hot rod, motorcycle and my personal one is a watermellon.  I am not sure why but it is very fast. It could be because of where I have the weight placed. I also have removed any burrs on the axles and polished them. This reduces friction. Polish the INSIDE of the wheel bores. To do this use a GOOD stiff pipe cleaner, the kind you get in tobacco stores. Apply a drop or two of fine abrasive toothpaste. Whitening toothpaste is the best. Then polish the bore well.  The one you want to stay away from making is the pencil thin one. It is FAST. The fastest one I have ever seen but it breaks , snaps in two at the end of the track. One race and it is done and the boy can’t race it again the rest of the time. The tears are not worth it. 

     You may wish to contact your local Lowe’s or Home Depot or other local hardware stores as some will conduct classes in building race cars. They supply adult help and all the equipment needed to help the boys (and girls) make awesome cars.
     Information on the District run off will be at Roundtable and here. I have a maybe date but since It isn’t set in stone yet I won’t list it but most likely it will be in April.

CAR SPECIFICATIONS:

* Width: – 2-3/4? – Length – 7? – Weight – Not over 5 Ounces
* Width between wheels – 1-3/4?
* Bottom clearance between can and track – 3/8?

I. Wheel bearings, washers, and bushings are prohibited.
II. The car shall not ride on springs.
III. Only official Cub Scout Grand Prix Pinewood Derby wheels and axles are permitted.
IV. Only dry lubricant is permitted.
V. Details, such as steering wheel and driver are permissible as long as these details do not exceed the maximum length, width and weight specifications.
VI. The car must be free-wheeling, with no starting devices.
VII. Each car must pass inspection by the official inspection committee before it may compete. If, at registration., a car does not pass inspection, the owner will be informed of the reason for failure, and will be given time within the official weigh-in time period to make the adjustment. After final approval, cars will not be re-inspected unless the car is damaged in handling or in a race.

Have you attended Wood Badge Adult Leadership Training? If not learn more about it and consider attending. This is for leaders in all areas of Scouting, even parents and committee members... you can register here:

YOUR LOL FOR THE MONTH

            When the store manager returned from lunch, he noticed his clerk's hand was bandaged, but before he could ask about the bandage, the clerk said he had some very good news for him.
            "Guess what, sir?" the clerk said. "I finally sold that terrible, ugly suit we've had so long!"
            "Do you mean that repulsive pink-and-blue double-breasted thing?" the manager asked.
            "That's the one!"
            That's great!" the manager cried, "I thought we'd never get rid of that monstrosity! That had to be the ugliest suit we've ever had! But tell me. Why is your hand bandaged?"
            "Oh," the clerk replied, "after I sold the guy that suit, his guide dog bit me."

 

 

Paint a pinewood derby racer

By Robert Schleicher
From the February 2000 issue of Boys' Life magazine

Sandpaper and paint can turn a pinewood block into the sleek body of a pinewood derby racer. The trick is knowing how to use your supplies and your skills.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Coarse, medium-grit and fine sandpaper

Liquid Sanding Sealer

Enamel paint

Decals or self-stick numbers

Testor’s Glosscote clear gloss paint

Floor wax paste

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Support Your Sandpaper

Begin by wrapping sandpaper in a block of wood 1 inch by 3 inches. Without a block of wood for support, sandpaper can leave dips and gullies in the pinewood body.

Round the corners of the pinewood with coarse sandpaper. For the squared-off look of an antique car or a modern Indy 500 car, sand the edges lightly. If you want the shape of Sprint or older Grand Prix cars, sand until the pinewood has an oval or elliptical shape.

Change to medium-grit paper for smoothing rough edges. Finish with fine sandpaper to remove any sanding marks.

Hide the Grain

Just painting the pinewood won’t hide the wood’s grain. Apply two coats of liquid Sanding Sealer (sold at hobby shops). Let the sealer dry overnight before sanding it lightly with fine-grit paper.

If the grain still shows, apply two more coats of sealer. Let it dry overnight and sand again. Repeat the process until the grain disappears.

Choose a color for your racer. Then apply two to three coats of enamel paint to the pinewood body. Spraying the model with paint from an aerosol can is easier than using a brush.

If you use a brush, dip only the lower third of the brush into the paint. Use single, smooth strokes instead of dabbing the paint on the model. Blend the strokes so they can’t be seen.

Pick a Number

Place a race number on the car. Buy self-stick numbers at stationery stores or decals at a hobby shop.

Seal and protect the race number by spraying the entire model with Testor’s Glosscote clear gloss paint. Other clear paints may make the numbers curl. Test the clear paint on a decal or number stuck to scrap plastic before spraying your racer.

Let the clear paint dry for at least a week. Then cover the model with floor wax paste and buff to a high gloss. The wax will protect the car and give your pinewood derby racer the look of shining steel.

 

 

FROM THE  EDITORS DESK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     So how do you like my new icon announcing my Editorial messages? I am sure some of you will think it looks just like me. Ha ha ha very funny.

     Wow I was impressed with this new DE that we have. At the November District meeting Chris gave out small thank you gifts for attending. How long has it been since we had a DE that did that! THANK YOU CHRIS! So if you want a thank you gift you need to come to Roundtable and see what it is all about. You might take home a gift as well.

     But you know what is missing? The traveling Sinclair award. You know that little gas pump that was passed around from month to month at District meetings. I you are the recipient or know who has it would you please see to it that it is returned and passed around again. We need to keep gas in our tanks so we can keep moving forward.

     I am looking for someone to help me with the newsletter. Are you that someone?Are you willing to send me recipes? Something you would like to see that isn’t included in the newsletter? I would like local Camping Hiking Hints, things from this area that may be of interest to units. Where has our unit gone that was a great or not so great adventure. Are you a Troop looking for new boys from Webelos? Let them know here by giving your unit a plug. Is there something coming up in the area that you would like to share with the rest of us? Get the information to me ASAP. The newsletter is sent out at the end of the month or early the next. I did have help from some great Scouters but they have all stopped sending me articles. They have all retired, have health issues or passed on to that Great Scout Camp site in the sky.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed.

 

PLACEMENT OF SCOUTER KNOTS

The square knot award is displayed on the uniform to denote that the wearer has earned and received the award. The award is usually in the form of a certificate and many awards also include a medallion or other memento.   A knot emblem does have left and right sides. The rope loop over the rope ends always is to the wearer's right. You may from time to time heard is said “Bright to the Right”. Some knots are two colored so the brighter or lighter colored rope goes with the tails on the right side. The diagram here shows how the knots would look to someone looking at the shirt. The knot images on the rest of this page all show the correct knot direction.   The square knots are to be worn centered directly above the left shirt pocket. The first knot should be placed with its bottom edge touching the top seam of the pocket flap. The next two knots are placed on both sides of the first knot in a straight row of three knots. Additional knots are placed directly above the first row with bottom edge touching top edge of the existing knots.

From the diagram, you can see that as additional knots are earned, single and double knots on a row need to be re-sewn.

 

 

 

CHRISTMAS CARDS OR ANY OTHER CARD TO WALTER REED HOSPITAL

   The Truth if your unit plans to send a Christmas card to any shoulder, sailor, air personnel:

   The Walter Reed Army Medical Cnter will not receive letters/cards that are not addressed to a particular soldier by name.

     The American Red Cross does have a program called “Holiday Mail for Heroes” where service members can get holiday cards from those wishing to send them holiday greetings. The deadline to send your card is December 5, 2016 (they must be received by the 12^th of December). Also the USO has a holiday box program that supports our troops all year long with four different boxes. The holidays according to the USO website are “Valentine's Day/Football; Memorial Day/Summer/Fourth of July; Halloween/Thanksgiving and Winter (with Christmas and Hanukah add-ons)”

    A statement from the then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001 made a decision to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense by refusing any mail not directed to a specific soldier. This decision applies to packages, letters, Christmas cards, or any other mail not addressed to a soldier by name.

    Additionally the U. S. Postal Service has stopped delivering any mail that is addressed to “A Recovering American Soldier” or “Any Wounded Soldier” which are the most common recommendations in the eRumors at circulate about sending messages to soldiers at Walter Reed.

Operation Angel

http://www.projectrudolph.org/operationangel.html

On New Years Day 2007 we went to the local military installations here in Germany to hand out gift bags to injured and deployed Service Members. We had gone earlier and the Soldiers had fallen in love with Ceilidha, who called herself the ladybug princess. On New Years Day she wanted to go as a fairy and she danced and sang for the troops. As we were leaving she saw a Soldier who was going for a "walk" in his wheel chair. She asked him how he got hurt and he offered her a sucker. He turned around to head back to his room to get her one and she said she wanted to help, so she pushed him in his chair back down the hall, got the sucker and then pushed him back out of the ward he was in, down the hall and to the elevator.

 

There is nothing as heart warming as seeing a little Angel pushing a wounded soldier in a wheel chair. The Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines loved when Ceilidha came to visit. This is why we have decided to continue Operation Angel in the spirit of Project Rudolph, and hand out "Guardian Angel Bags" to injured service members transitioning through Germany.

 

I am asking all who can to please write a Thank You letter to "Dear Service member" and please send them to me. We will hand them out weekly to the Service members at the hospital. Thousands pass through there each year with a turn around of only 2-3 days. Please help us continue to be angels to these service members.

 

We are also accepting monetary donations to help purchase items for the "Guardian Angel Bags" which accompany the letters. 

 

You, your family, or your organization can help put together these bags so we can help cheer even more service members during this tough time in their lives.

If you are the parent or guardian of a child living at a military hospital you may sign up for the sponsorship program of The General's Kids. We’ll connect you with an individual, family, or school class that wants to make your child feel appreciated for their service to our country. Please fill out the registration form and we will be contacting you within the next 3 business days. When a sponsor signs up the priority will go on a first come first serve basis. We will try to place families with more than one child with sponsors who want to reach out to the whole family that way all the children receive the same amount and frequency of cards. When available we’ll also pair school classes with children of the same age. That way it makes a good connection for both parties.

I would like to invite everyone to create handmade cards for the Soldiers. It only takes one card to make a difference for a soldier. Blank greeting cards--Birthday, thank you, thinking of you, anniversary...anything!!! These cards are really appreciated by our Soldiers

 

SANTA IS AN EAGLE SCOUT

Santa is an Eagle Scout,
it's very plain to see.
Just listen to this little poem
and you'll agree

Santa navigates by the stars
on Christmas Eve.
After all, his first merit badge
was Astronomy.

To fly his sleigh
with finesse,
Santa took
Aviation merit badge next.

Santa and his reindeer
have a friendly alliance.
He learned it all
while earning Veterinarian Science.

Engineering merit badge
was very hard for Santa Claus.
Going down a chimney is an engineering feat,
if there ever was.

Santa's service project
was for all the boys and girls.
He delivers toys
all around the world.

And lastly, Santa's work on
Communication merit badge was out of sight
That's when he thought of the phrase
"Merry Christmas and to all a good night"

GAME TIME FOR ALL AGES

CHRISTMAS CANDY CANE GAME

What is needed:

2 containers

Large amount of individual wrapped candy canes

2 players

How to play:

Place ALL the candy canes in a pile in the center of the table.

Place a container at each end of the table

Each player gets a candy cane that they hold in their mouth by the long end

Hands behind the backs and on the start of GO each player picks up with the hooked end of the cane as many of the candy canes on the table as they can and place them in their containers.

You can play until all canes are gone or by a set time. You can play this with the Patrol Leaders as the people picking up the canes or divide each room in half and pair off.

 

Race Through an Obstacle Course

When a few things get in your way, it's an annoyance. When a passel of things do, it's a great party game! Pull out a stopwatch and try your skill at these obstacle course stations.

WHIRLING DERVISH
Players must throw a water balloon high in the air, spin around and then catch it.

WALK THE PLANK
Set up a board on two cinder blocks and tie some balloons to it. Players must walk across, stepping over the balloons and stopping in the middle to spell their names aloud backward.

BOX HOP
Lay out a row of cardboard boxes (or laundry baskets). Players must jump from one to the next.

FRISBEE TOSS
Place a clean trash can 10 feet from a throw line. Players try to toss a Frisbee into the can.

SUMMER SHOWER
Players must balance a golf ball on a tee (or on a spoon, for little kids) as they walk through a lawn sprinkler.

LAWN CHAIR SLALOM
Line up several lawn chairs 2 to 3 feet apart. Players must skip around each chair while carrying a half-filled paper cup of water. If they spill, they must start over.

RAKE A BALL
Players use a rake to drag a basketball through the lawn chair slalom course (described above) and back.

Alternate way is to push the ball with the rake.
