On the ground in a compact area chalk the following things:</p><p> England  Brownsea Island  Australia (quite large with the states and your home town laid out in it)  a boat  Africa  France  America  Canada  New Zealand  Thailand</p><p>If you don’t have pavers or concrete you could use loops of rope, chalk the name on trees or use paper blu- tacked to walls etc.</p><p>How to Play Everyone stands in Australia. A Leader reads the story slowly emphasising the locations shown in bold. When the Joey Scouts hear a word they have to run and stand inside the right location. Once all Joeys are there the narrator continues. When World is read they can pick any location to run to.</p><p>The Story There are Joey Scouts just like you in most countries throughout the World. If you lived in New Zealand you would be a Kea. In England and Canada you would be called a Beaver.</p><p>Scouting was started in England by Robert Baden Powell in 1907, over 100 years ago. He took some scouts in a boat to the first scout camp on Brownsea Island.</p><p>Baden Powell loved to travel through the World meeting his fellow Scouts and started the idea of Jamborees where scouts could meet. In 1912 he got on a boat and came all the way to Australia, then he returned by boat to England. He came back by boat to Australia in 1931, and then went back by boat to England. He came back in a boat to Australia for the last time in 1934 before returning to England, once again, by boat.</p><p>In those days it was a very long voyage in a boat. While he was in Australia BP visited every State including Tasmania, Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. He may have visited Ermington.</p><p>Every four years there is a World Scout Jamboree where Scouts meet and make friends. There was one in Australia in 1988. It was held at Cataract Park near Sydney in NSW. The last World Scout Jamboree was in England in 2007. In between there are lots of other Jamborees like the Australian Jamboree. The next Australian Jamboree is being held in NSW in January 2010, at Cataract Scout Park, near Sydney.</p><p>Jamboree On The Air and Jamboree On The Internet is the biggest Scout activity in the World but unlike other Jamborees you meet people using internet or radio instead of in person. It started in England in 1957 at the World Scout Jamboree.</p><p>When you meet a Scout from France you can say Bon Jour. Someone in America might say Hi to you. We back home in Australia say G’day! NATO PHONETIC ALPHABET</p><p>Sometimes when talking on the radio, it is difficult to understand the other person, sometimes there is interference, or perhaps the person has an accent that makes it hard for you to understand the message being sent. The phonetic alphabet has been used for quite a long time. By the military sending important messages, by pilots and air traffic controllers, and by the police. This alphabet is used all over the world. Instead of spelling out important words with a letter, you use words to stand for each letter.

Every aircraft that flies is registered, just as cars are for the road, and part or all of their registration (or Call Sign) is made up of letters. When aircraft are flying, pilots must identify themselves by quoting their Call Sign. Names of pilots and general chit chat are not permitted to be broadcast over the radio. All radio communication must be kept brief and clear.</p><p>A conversation between a pilot and an Air Traffic Controller (ATC) might sound something like this:</p><p>PILOT: Tower – ALFA CHARLIE GOLF ready for runway 21 right.</p><p>ATC: Good morning ALFA CHARLIE GOLF clear for take off. Do not delay.</p><p>You would never hear anything like this:</p><p>PILOT: Hello, it’s Fred here. I’m the pilot of the yellow plane at the hold point. Can I take off now?</p><p>ATC: Did you say you were in the yellow plane? Oh, yes, I can see you waving. Yeah, everything looks cool for you to take off, but hurry along, mate!</p><p>The Phonetic Alphabet that is currently used worldwide dates back to 1956. The Phonetic Alphabet is also used in areas other than aviation, wherever there might be confusion as to the pronunciation of letters being spoken over the radio, or even the phone. The Police are just one organisation that uses the Phonetic Alphabet as part of their communication. </p><p># Information from http://www.kidsmedia.com.au NATO PHONETIC ALPHABET GAME</p><p>Divide the Joeys up into groups with a Leader or parent helper. Give each group some paper and pens. Leader running the game calls out the NATO words. Joeys to write down the first letter from each word – and are to do the action that they have spelt out.</p><p>Hotel Oscar Papa HOP Lima Alpha Uniform Golf Hotel LAUGH Charlie Romeo Alpha Whiskey Lima CRAWL Charlie Lima Alpha Papa CLAP Juliett Uniform Mike Papa JUMP Whiskey Alpha Lima Kilo WALK Sierra India November Golf SING</p><p>Game: Lighthouse – Shipwreck Divide the Mob into 2 groups – ships and rocks. A Leader is the lighthouse. The lighthouse is at one end of the hall. The lighthouse goes “WOO WOO”. The rocks distribute themselves on the floor around the hall. The rocks go “SWISH SWISH” quietly if a ship is getting near. The ships take it in turns to navigate through the rocks to reach the lighthouse. If a ship touches a rock they are sunk. When all the ships have had a turn – swap over.</p><p>Game: Rhubarb Tie groups of Joeys together - they need to communicate to move in the same direction.</p><p>Back Up Game : Chinese Whispers Divide the Joey Scouts into teams. Have them whisper a message from one end of the team to the other.</p><p>Back Up Game: Birthday Line Up Before starting the game talk about ways of communicating without speaking. Divide the Joeys up into teams. Without speaking the Joeys have to line up in birthday order. CODE BREAKERS You are a spy and have just been handed an important message.
