As we move into the Communicators Badge – and the second half of the term – this should give you a bit of a challenge to find out:
Who was the Original “Bluetooth” – and why was his nickname used for the way we send and receive information on our mobile phones?
As a clue, I would suggest Wikipedia may be able to help.

As we work towards the Pathfinder Weekend, this weeks question will be based on information on this website, especially around camping equipment. You will need to follow one of the links within the “Purchasing Camping Equipment” page (look to the right most column under pages to find this page).
The question is this: which TWO “gunky” products are recommended for keeping boots waterproof?
Answers on a piece of paper for next meeting!

As promised, this challenge has a “maths” flavour to it. This sequence is quite a famous one – it’s called the Fibonacci series. Scientists found that when plants grow (especially ferns), they sprout branches and leaves in this order.
The question is: what are the next THREE (3) numbers in the sequence?
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ?, ?, ?
Answers, on a piece of paper, for next week please!

Sorry everyone, I forgot to post this until I was prompted (thank you Anand!)
With the theme of the evening being Challenges, I want you to solve this riddle:
A train heads into a station from the North at 45mph.
Another train heads into the same station from the South travelling at 30mph.
Both trains are travelling on the same piece of track.
Why don’t they collide?
Answers, on a piece of paper, for Friday please!

As next week’s programme plan is the Wide Game, this is a possibly easy challenge for you all.
For the meeting on the 18th, you must write onto a piece of paper the name of the Group Scout Leader (sometimes known as the Group Manager) for the 8/12th Harrow Scouts.
If you don’t know it, you can click here… http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Group+manager+8th+12th+Harrow+Scouts It’s a bit cheeky, but it will help!
challenges and special message challenge, special message, summer bootscraper 10:40 am
So, there may be points in this… there may be not – it all depends on you.
Your challenge for the summer is this to try and do the following:
- play in the local park
- fly a kite
- go to some woods
I’ll leave you to work out how you’re going to prove that you did this – but the main thing is that you have fun over the summer holidays and do just spend the whole time indoors. Have a great holiday!

The Challenge this week is to present either a printout or a note of how to tie a Square Lashing.
The link below will take you to an information web page on Square Lashings, but you should be able to find it on the Scout information cards also.
This week, just to reinforce the challenge, anyone that just “tells” the leader (i.e. doesn’t present a piece of paper with the notes on) will LOSE points.
As additional home work / revision, we will also be making Tripods – so you may want to check that lashing as well.
