Happy 21st Birthday Rainbows!
I have spent a very pleasant day basking in the sunshine, in front of the little tent, whilst all around me 100+ Rainbows had one huge party. They played games, did crafts, ran around, did the biggest hokey cokey you’ve ever seen and generally enjoyed themselves. I had the tent set up just in case either we needed somewhere to shelter from the rain or if we had a hot and bothered Rainbow so we had somewhere to get them out of the sun. Thanks to Petty Pool being mainly woodland though they were all in the shade most of the time so it wasn’t a problem, apart from me of course who was in one of the camping fields, being fanned by a gentle breeze and thus not noticing the sun gently frying my arms 
Aprilia got "seconded" into one of the groups as a helper and aparently was very good with the little ones. She also saw her Brown Owl who told her it’s her enrollment on Friday and confirmed that she could have the full traditional toadstool and pond job which utterly delighted her - she was bothered that a lot of units don’t do that any more as she really wanted to do it that way. She’s even more excited taht she can now start getting LOTS of badges! Don’t anyone dare read Punishment By Rewards to her…… I just love watching her trying new things taht she wouldn’t consider doing just because there is a bit of cloth awarded to her at the end of it!
no, not more badges!!!! SB going to jolly well learn how to sow them on herself then!
