Packing for Palaver

Akela is getting ready to go away for the weekend – I am making sure I stow away in a bag (and dont get missed)

For those who don't know what a Palaver is, it cam be described as follows:

Palaver is an annual camp held by cub leaders, for cub leaders, as an aid to your work as a leader.

For  those who are unsure of what Palaver is and how it works  –

The camp is always themed, to give you a full program of activities run around a central theme.

From Friday night to Sunday afternoon, we have a structured program which can be used almost exactly to run a cub camp.

You will come home with a thick package of notes, detailing at least three programs you can run at a pack meeting, games and activities, crafts, and often some form of formal training.

 

You will meet many leaders from around the state of South Australia, and make contacts that you will meet up with on various other outings, such as Region Cub Day Out, Region Camp, Cuboree etc.

A lot of value is found in chatting to other leaders – you will hear about different activities, camps and outings that people have taken their cubs to, you can chat about different ways to resolve situations that come up in a cub pack, and many other aspects of being a leader are discussed. You will always learn something new. Keep a notebook handy.
