Games/Craft Information:

 

Game – Wolf Attack

Equipment- Hoops

To Play: -Like musical chairs, but using hoops on the ground...the JS run around on the land around the trees (hoops) and then you shout wolf attack, and they have to get into a hoop (climb a tree). But you keep removing a hoop after every go until there are only 2 left and they all have to hold each other in the hoop!

 

Game – Are we in Sweden or Australia?

Equipment – Pictures of things from each Country, Maps

To Play: -Joeys are shown a set of pictures, one by one and asked if they are in Sweden or Australia. Have a map of Sweden at one end of the Scout hall and a map of Australia at the other. Joeys run to which ever map is where they think they are. There will be some items that it will not be possible to tell if they are in Sweden or Australia, in that case the Joeys should stay in the middle.

 

Activity – Mark out a Moose

Equipment- Tape measure, chalk

Instructions: -Mark out dimensions of a Moose on Wall to show how big they are. Discuss weight in relation to JS

 

Moose Dimensions:

Height (at shoulder): Range 160-210 cm, average 200 cm

Length: Range 180-240 cm

Weight: Range 350-580 kg, average 500 kg

Antlers: 120 cm wide

 

Craft – Make a Moose

Equipment- Moose templates (1 for each JS), Scissors, Straws, Sticky tape, Textas

Instructions: -Joeys cut out the moose body shape and fold along the dashed line down the back.  Then cut the hollow in the back.  Cut out the antlers.  Make two A frames from the straws.  Tape these to the inside of the legs for added stability. Cut notch in head and position antlers. Draw on mouth, nose and eyes.

 

After craft activity – Swedish whispers

To Play: -Joeys sit in a circle and we send some Swedish words around. Have gingerbread cookies at end.

 

Action Story – World Jamboree

To Play: - Allocate each Joey to either Sweden, Australia, Thailand or England. Line Joeys up at the end of the Scout Hall with a large area in front of them in which they can run to the end of the hall and back.

 

Tell the following story during which Joeys run to the end of the hall and back when the country to which they have been allocated is mentioned. All Joeys run to the end of the hall and back when the words World Jamboree are said. Tell the Joeys to listen carefully because they must not run when World is said and they must not run when Jamboree is said only when World Jamboree is said.

Have you ever heard of a World Jamboree? It is when Scouts from all over the world get together for a camp. There are thousands of Scouts camping in thousands of tents and all of the Scouts get to meet lots of other Scouts and have lots of fun.

 

This year there will be a World Jamboree in Sweden. There will be Scouts from Australia, Scouts from England, Scouts from Thailand Scouts from the US and Scouts from lots and lots different countries. They are expecting around 38,000 people, that will include Scouts and leaders and people running activities and they will have to camp in tents at the World Jamboree. The Scouts from Sweden will be running lots of exciting activities for the Scouts from England, Thailand, Brazil, Australia and all the other countries.

 

The theme of this World Jamboree is Simply Scouting. They will just have fun being Scouts. They will focus on three things. The first is meetings. The Scouts from Thailand will meet Scouts fromthe US, the Scouts from Australia will meet Scouts from England. In fact all the Scouts will meet Scouts from lots of different countries all over the world and learn lots of things about lots of different countries and cultures. The second thing is that all the Scouts will enjoy the natural environment of Sweden. The Scouts will be able to see all the birds and trees that they have there. The third thing is solidarity. This means that Scouts from all over the world stick together and help each other. Scouts from England help Scouts from Papua New Guinea, Scouts from Thailand help Scouts from Cambodia, Scouts from Australia help Scouts from Indonesia and Scouts from Sweden help Scouts from Russia.

 

When you are a Scout you can go to an Australian Jamboree when you are between 10 and a half and 13 years old. But you have to be between 14 and 18 years old to go to a World Jamboree. The next one is in Japan in 2015 but you still won’t be old enough yet, but by 2020 you will be old enough. So who knows you might be able to go to a World Jamboree then.
