Refresher Course - Tents


After coming back from the National Leaders Conference all the commanders decided it was time to hold a refresher course for both Adventure and Discovery Rangers. Today's refresher course was about building tents. We first asked who didn't know how to get their tents up and not surprisingly about half didn't know how to. This was their lucky day off. So, a few commanders explained the important rules when pitching a tent up and showed the children how to set them up and neatly fold them back.
All the rangers under the hot afternoon sun. Its been awhile since they've been under the sun as there were lots of complaining!

Merrick, the self appointed leader of his team. Scolding his team members for not listening to him! Sure was funny watching him!
Donavon, Andrea and Bernice with their tent.

Adventure Rangers had it a little bit difficult, I got them to do a tent each. Which was a good idea as they took turns to help each other out. Not thinking of themselves only but realized that working together is faster.
