At Cubs last night we did some work towards our Air Activities Award. In a few weeks we are going to sit in a Vulcan Bomber, a VC10 and a Lancaster! Yes…that is how awesome Cubs is.
Anyhow. Last night we were making paper aeroplanes. To the massive surprise of all of the leaders none of the kids knew how to make even the most basic of paper dart. Even the smart ones (the girls) and “arty” ones (also the girls) didn’t have a clue. I’m pretty sure that most of them could set up my WiFi though.
What sort of generation are we brining up? I weep for the future.
To our credit though they can now climb with a harness on, use a bow and arrow and split wood with an axe without killing themselves or each other. I don’t think that they are ready to face down the zombie apocalypse just yet, but it is a start.
