The core value highlighted this month is: April's point of the Scout Law, KIND, will use the theme, MY ANIMAL FRIENDS. A SCOUT IS KIND A Scout treats others as he wants to be treated. He never harms or kills any living thing without good reason. HOW DOES “MY ANIMAL FRIENDS” RELATE TO THIS POINT OF THE SCOUT LAW? A Scout knows there is strength in being gentle. It is important to be kind to all creatures, great and small. This month we will explore ways to be kind to our animal friends. Per our Founder, Lord Baden-Powell Note – The original Scout Law published in 1908 had nine points. In 1910, the BSA added Brave, Clean, and Reverent. In 1911 B-P added Clean to his original list. A SCOUT IS KIND Baden Powell did not use the word Kind, he said - A SCOUT IS A FRIEND TO ANIMALS. He should save them as far as possible from pain, and should not kill any animal unnecessarily, even if it is only a fly--- for it is one of God's creatures. (Scouting For Boys, 1908) An animal has been made by God, just as you have been. He is therefore a fellow-creature. – Lord Robert Baden-Powell BALOO'S BUGLE - (2016 Mar RT / Apr 2016 Prog Ideas) Page 4 KIND(NESS) QUOTES Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. -Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotations contain the wisdom of the ages, and are a great source of inspiration for Cubmaster’s minutes, Because that's what kindness is. It's not doing material for an advancement ceremony or an insightful something for someone else because they can't, but addition to a Pack Meeting program cover. because you can. -Andrew Iskander You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by No act of kindness, no matter

Forest School Accident and Emergency Procedures 1. Forest School Ethos Forest School is an inspirational process that offers all learners regular opportunities to achieve, develop confidence and self esteem, through hands on learning experiences in a local woodland or natural environment with trees. Forest School is a specialised approach that sits within and complements the wider context of outdoor and woodland learning. Croft Corner Forest School Nursery aims to provide holistic, learner led forest school sessions for all our pre-school children within the magical setting of Ecclesall Woods. Our sessions in the woodland offer children opportunities to achieve, develop confidence and self-esteem through hands on learning experiences. Learning experiences are loosely structured in order to accommodate the interests and curiosity of each child. Today's children are often wrapped in cotton wool where they are unable to make their own judgements about risk. Forest School enables children to experience managed risk and make their own decisions and therefore help produce more confident individuals. Physical activity through games, crafts and play encourages better development of gross and fine motor skills; a more balanced and a fitter child.

  • Fire Building
    Fire Building Desired Outcome: Participants will learn to work in partnerships with girls to plan, implement, and evaluate activities. Learning Objectives: By the end of the session participants will be able to: 1. Lay, light, use, and extinguish a fire safely. 2. Demonstrate LNT principles in outdoor activities covered in this course. 2 FIRE BUILDING Preparation Before starting – things to think about 1. What is the purpose for the fire? 2. What size fire do you need – too big is unnecessary and wasteful of fuel 3. What material is available? Found locally or need to bring it in? 4. What are the weather conditions? 5. What are the rules for fires? Where can fires be built? 6. Plan enough time for the fire to burn down and for appropriate clean-up Fire Safety - Your Primary Concern Keep hair tied back, remove loose or baggy clothing that might fall into the flames. Review with the girls “Stop, drop, and roll” so they know what to do if clothing catches fire. Use a designated fire ring, away from overhanging branches and leaf litter. Have a bucket of sand or water on hand before lighting the first match. Keep a shovel or rake nearby for beating out sparks that fall to earth. Avoid putting leaves into the flame; bits of burning leaf float on hot air and may cause wildfire. NEVER leave a fire unattended! Pile firewood on the windward side of the fire, well away from the flames. Do not pour lighter fluid onto an open campfire! Use care and follow manufacturer’s instructions when using cook stoves.

  • Experimental Study of Burning Rate in Jet-Fuel Pool Fires
    Experimental Study of Burning Rate in Jet-Fuel Pool Fires Shihong Yan, William Ciro, Eric O. Eddings·, Adel F. Sarofim ..;-' Department of Chemical & Fuels Engineering University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84112 Abstract Experiments were carried out in a 30 cm diameter pool fire, for both transient and steady-state conditions, utilizing jet fuel, Norpar-15, and a surrogate mixture of hydrocarbons that simulates jet-fuel behavior in a pool fire. Steady state pool fire tests match previous results well. The transient burning rate profile for jet fuel showed a high peak value early in the experiment, followed by a gradual decrease in burning rate as the balance of the fuel was consumed. Transient experiments with a jet fuel surrogate demonstrated similar behavi or to the jet fuel. However, experiments perforn1ed with Norpar-15) yielded approximately the same value for both transient and steady-state burning rates. GC analysis of fuel samples taken from the pool fire pan over time elearly demonstrated a preferential burning of the light, volatile hydrocarbons during the early stages ofthe transient fires, which might result in a higher burning rate early on, follow by a slower rate when consuming the less volatile residual hydrocarbons. Results highlight the importance of understanding fuel chemistry when attempting to model, either experimentally or computationally, the pool fire behavior of complex fuel mixtures. Intmduction Experimental Procedures Open hydrocarbon pool fires are present in many Jet fuel (Jet-A, density, 805 kg/m3) ",as burned in a accident scenarios. The rate of pool burning is one of the steel pan, 0.3048111 in diameter and 0.1016 m deep, rigidly most commonly used indicators to characterize pool fires.

Entering Bramley Forest School Site We will enter the Forest School site respectfully and know that when at Forest School specific expectations are in place. We will explore, investigate, learn and play in a manner that will not damage our woodland and pond environment. We understand that we share our Forest School with plants and animals and that when we are in our Forest School we are sharing their environment with them. Boundaries We have clear fence and hedge boundaries with a locked gate to guard our Forest School site. Before each session begins we will be made aware of any fixed boundary markers (with red flags or tape) that show sensitive areas that must not be disturbed (for examples bluebells / nesting sites).

  • Fire Safety Procedures with Your Girls Before Starting a Fire
    Fires SAFETY . Choose your fire area wisely. Make sure there are no overhanging branches and clear an area at least 10 feet in diameter. Maintain a 3-foot buffer between the fire ring and where campers will stand or sit around the fire. Check to ensure that no one near the fire is wearing loose or dangling clothing or accessories. Avoid wearing nylon or polyester clothing near the fire. Tie back long hair. Refrain from running near a fire. If cooking around the fire, only the cooks may be near the cooking fire. Never bend over the fire.. Do not use liquid fuel to start a fire. Teach girls stop, drop, and roll and how to smother a fire with a blanket It is the responsibility of the leader and the troop-overnight trained adult to check whether a fire ban is in effect at their camping site before they leave home. You can call the county sheriff or park ranger. Adults must supervise any fire very closely. Fires should never be left unattended. Remember to review fire safety procedures with your girls before starting a fire. 1 Ingredients for a Successful Girl Scout Campfire Experience Campfires can be a wonderful bonding experience for girls of all ages during their outdoor experience. This is an opportunity for girls to connect with each other, adults, and nature. This special time allows girls to discover their talents, skills and have fun together. Allow girls to take action and choose their own activities and ideas to make this a memorable time for them.
