Fire Station visit - 16th March

Having fun at the fire-station!
We started off with a wonderful Fire-Safety talk by Leon...

The cubs re-learnt all the numbers to phone if a fire should break out....

Examples of squatter camps...

Stop, Drop and Roll

another example of how quickly a fire can break out - damaged and exposed heater

young children playing with electrical equipment

our hero...

listening carefully

showing the cubs what to do if a person's chokes...

This fire fighting truck ..... or

or this one?

Of course, the cubs just loved climbing all over this one!

Thank you Leon!

Nkululeko showed us how fast she can dress!

Less than 1 minute!

We had a great time at the Fire Station and learnt so much!

Till next Time

Fire Safety and other Dangers! - 9th March 2012

Today we learnt all about fire safety in anticipation for our trip to the Fire Station next week!waiting patiently for the next instruction....

As far as dangers are concerned, everyone has to be very carefull not to fall down a well, or a drainpipe...

Our firs game was almost a tug - o - war where anyone pulled into the circle was "down the well"...

cubs LOVE tug-o-war!

and into the well they fell!

Instruction saw the caracals learning about keeping tidy!

The leopards did some knotting

and then it was on to make our Emergency Kits.

and whilst on a hike one of the scouts had dropped all the goodies out of his back sack - the cubs had to go and look what had dropped, remember everything and relate.

they all had very good memories!

and then some fire safety tips

and how to strike a match the correct way....

but most importantly - cubs also love to light a candle....

Till next Time

Keep Cubbing
