Session notes

This is a great opportunity to introduce the Grand Howl and Flag Break. You may need extra volunteers to go out and visit nature. If you want, you could run the two teamwork activities at the same time, with people swapping between them. The next session includes an Investiture. Parents and carers may want to watch young people make their Promise, so it's helpful to let them all about the ceremony at least a week before. Anyone being invested should practise their Promise at home, and make sure they come wearing uniform.
