Halloween 2023 edition

Time was when All Saint's Day was more what we marked with events but that almost seems like ages ago as Halloween has become the de facto for around October 30/31st.

Although this is American as is Trick And Treat, scouts can put on a short show with costumes and skits based around Halloween and ghoulish goings on and in places they do.

You may have arranged and event that incorporate taking part in games that count towards your badges, some arts and crafts halloween themed activities which is what I was up to this week and generally have a great time.

This was one for Beavers and Cubs.

One activity you can do easily is making face masks with a spooky theme which is what these  Beavers have done which is rather fun.

Scouting, whatever program you are is was always meant to be fun even as we learn new skills that will help us along the way in life so having fun together such as for halloween is such a great idea even if "Bobbing the Apple"  which we did for All Saint's no longer features.
