Last night, my fellow Scout Leaders and I did something unusual. We did something for us and not for the Beavers, Cubs or Scouts! We had a BBQ at one of our houses. It was a time for us to all get together, with our families and have a nice evening together without any distractions!
It’s a good thing for us all to get together socially and be able to chat and have a laugh in a situation where we’re not thinking about the next activity or who is doing the dishes and are they being done correctly.
I hate to say it, as it’s HR speak, but it’s a great team building exercise. We get to know our friends and their families better and as a consequence we get to work together better as well.
So it’s worth while taking time for yourselves once in a while, to be relaxed and recharge the batteries. In fact the BBQ was a perfect way to finish the summer holidays.
We’re all raring to go next week with the Autumn term’s programme!
