Rain, Mud and a Wide Game

The Scouts have just come back from playing a wide game in Bradwell Woods. The idea had been to let off some rockets that the Scouts had made for their Astronautics Badge, but it was raining and there was quite a strong wind. So like NASA, we postponed the launch until another day and played a wide game instead (although I don’t think the people at NASA play wide games when a launch is delayed – or do they??)!

As it’s been raining a lot recently, everyone got muddy and wet and most of us, including me, slipped over and got even more muddy! At one point all the Scouts disappeared when walking through some ferns as they were shorter than the fern bushes!

However, we all had a good time and by the time we’d finished the clouds had nearly gone, the sun was shining and there was a rainbow on the horizon!
