Meetings continue








 Good evening. Today we had a special meeting in which the Scouts got to see a Brown House Snake 🐍, which was rescued at Skip’s house. Brown house snakes are non-venomous and pose no threat at all to humans. They will still bite if frightened. All Scouts who were present got to touch the snake and had a little snake education from Lindy Mortset, a St John’s teacher who offered to release it back into the wild after her pupils have had a chance to see the snake too.

20th NEWS! This year was an all time low for the 20th - we did not participate in any of the provincial events and meetings were only done during the first term only. However the silver lining on the cloud is the PC has given us permission to use our D.L Hall again starting next year - so what it means is that the 20th is going OPEN again!  We'd like to wish all our friends a happy festive holiday and we hope for your continued support next year. Good Scouting to all of you!

Yesterday the 20th went to the Giant's Playground (Chiremba Balancing Rocks) to have a go on the rocks and to see the great rock formations. These rocks are named seventh in terms of the most beautiful on the planets (www.amazingplanet.com). One of the rock formation is featured on our 2 dollar bill and the other called the flying boat is part of our Mashonaland province badge. We had a combined total of 36 Scouts and Cubs (the whole group). Only one cub scrapped her skin on the rock, a minor injury and they all did enjoy. We also had time to identify a few local trees and saw a very huge nest but we couldn't make out which bird is the resident, that'll remind us to take a bird book next time. Enjoy the pictures below.
