Hello All,

I am running our First Christmas Troop Night, and was wondering if anyone had any activities we could do with a christmas theme?

Thanks

Is this for the last meeting before christmas, or are you having a party on the last week?

Id take them bowling or to the cinema, maybe give it a twist.

Hi,

This is for the last meeting before christmas.

Stuart

Then, Id arrange a christmas party. Let the scouts bring in a party game to play and get them to bring in party food and have a nice evening.

Thank You

You cant go wrong with a xmas party for the troop. Always worked well for me before.

I don't know if this helps but our party is planned as below or see Southon Scout Troop Christmas Programme

Southon Spaghetti Western evening 14th Dec 2007

The Southon Younger Leaders have offered to run the Christmas party.

Dress code is Wild West, cowboy & Indian
Scouts are asked to bring party food
Southon Rox and The Allies (our rock bands) have offered to provide the music, Christmas and Wild West theme?

Games are:-
Music Chairs – music Southon Rox
Parse the Parcel – Chris will make it, Martyn will supply lucky dip
Musical Statues – Tom
Henry (Simon) says
Western Quiz – Martyn unless anyone would like to do one?
Paper ball Cowboys against Indians – need paper and duck tape – Nick can you obtain tape cheaply?
Two teams numbered off play individual hockey
Submarines
Western Impressions and Gurning on stage
A few more games are needed

Our young leaders have been told they are organizing and running the christmas party. We had them do the halloween party so should be fun!

Our party was a great success, photos of our party can been seen at Scout Christmas Party

Our Christmas Party went very well, Most of the Troop turned up, We even had the District Commisioner came.

Martyn I love your scout hut with the massive signs on the walls! That must have taken some effort.

We did the paintings by projecting the image onto the walls, it was a question of being bold enough to make the images really big, the cub one goes across the main doors. The lighter colours on the walls did cause a cleaning problem but we varnished all the walls up to waste hight and that made it practical.

How do other groups decorate thier walls?

You can see all the wall illustrations here

Very nice!

Shame we meet in a church hall.

I hope they don't decide to change the logos.
