25th Nov 2006 : First Aid, Pioneering, Bucket Cricket

25th Nov 2006

The (bad) thing about scouts is, there are just some things you just have to do ! This may sound thouroughly boring and debatable, but well, all i can say before you go any further is that, not everyday is a Sunday !

Well, a pretty cool session...with lots of ups and downs. And now since eveyone had accepted the fact their patrols are changed and got acquainted with it as well, they enjoyed this meeting more seriously !

The meeting kicked off in usual fashion as Apurva called a rally on Ajit's arrival. We recited the prayer song after which we entered class 12 A for a sesion usually disliked by most of us !

FIRST AID ! But nevertheless, Ajit in his cool way of specch-ing things made it quite enjoyable ! He showed and explained us the golden rules of first aid, Heimlich's Manouver, CPR, ways to stop haemorrhage(bleeding) and also how to treat snakebites & scorpion bites. And of course, through this entire 'explaination' everyone resorted to double-meaning and laughed wickedly (well that also included Ajit, SOMETIMES!!!).

AKHIL PLEASE WRITE MORE ABOUT THE METHODS !

After this we were supposed to do another not-so-exciting-not-so-enjoyable-not-so-cool activity called PIONEERING !!!

We were supposed to construct a structure out of kaathiya, rope and 6 bamboos max. which could stand on its own without any external support. The tallest structure would obtain 1st place and so on ...

In this activity we could use ANY part of the field to make our result stand. Hansmukh used the sandpit (DAM GOOD IDEA) but the problem was that he used ballis instead of bamboos...hence he was disqualified !

The standings of this activity are as follows :
