On the third of September I had my first advancement day where I got 22 tasks done. I talked, tracked and drew a map. I had to preform a skit and talk about safety. Some of the skills I learned have been helpful for scouting competitions like Gordon’s. And others I am yet to use.
It rained that day so we moved inside where I drew a map. When the rain was lighter we were outside where holly had set up a tracking story for us to uncode. We performed a play on the importance of the buddy system. We had to think of hazards, and see if we could fix them. I learnt how to tie knots. Everyone had different ways of doing them. For me I got some and others I couldn’t quite grasp. But all in all I learnt a lot.
