- description of the meeting |
The children were met in front of the building and led to the room where the activity took place. After the parents left we formed a halfcircle from the chairs where the children sat. The meeting started with the leaders’ personal introduction, then, briefly with the presentation of scouting. The leader presented the scouting greeting and its significance, and then encouraged the wolves to try it. The same happened with the wolves’ greeting. Since it was necessary, we established a way to keep quiet that is the raising of the hand. The rules of behaviour we are to respect at the scouts throughout the meetings have also been identified (respecting each other, friendship, encouragement, etc.).In order to get to know the wolves we suggested a name game. The game caught on well, since 31 children started, at one point, to be noisy so we suggested to start the game from the other side of the halfcircle as well, therefore all the children were involved in the activity. Then we started the game with the identification of unique things to each child (half circle and a chair placed in front – a wolf who sits on the front seat and says something which he/she considers a unique trait, if other wolves find themselves in that word, they join him/her; when the wolf finds something unique about him/herself calls for another wolf in his place).Towards the end, the children received charts on which they glued the first “meeting wolf”, this chart will be used until they receive The hunting notebook. The activity ended well, the children left the room enthusiastic. |
| Final thoughts |
Objectives A and C were not fulfilled by some of the cubs. For them, since it was their first meeting, the adjusting to the new activity was a little more difficult. |
