Winter solstice sleepover

In June, eight Langwarrin Senior Guides and two Overport Guides had a ‘Winter solstice’ sleepover. The activities we did worked towards two badges. The two badges were ‘Candles’ and ‘Time’, chosen because they fitted the winter solstice theme. The activities for the Time badge were playing a game that used time (we played Pictionary), cooking something that takes time (we cooked croissants), and finding out about day length in different countries. For the Candles badge, we practised lighting a candle, cooked pancakes using a candle (you lit a candle and then placed a big tin over it and cooked the pancakes on the tin – it sort of worked) and decorated candles to use as table decorations. The sleepover was fun.
