STORM blog post

Hi, I’m Jack Liddon, a county patrol leader for Kent.

On the 23^rd January 2010 I attended the Kent county STORM event in Whitstable. I went as a media rep with the county patrol, and it was my job to take photographs and report on the day’s events.

Storm is a laser gun event that was open to all Kent Scouts.

It was an excellent event, one enjoyed by many.

The laser zone was very dark and Smokey. Everywhere you looked you could see lasers. There were 6 teams in total, 3 green and 3 orange. The idea of the game was to hit the opposing team with your laser gun. At first people just continually shot with their laser gun, but soon realised that the gun could run out and would need to be energized at the big black boxes in the laser room; wasting precious battle minutes.

The walls of the laser zone were covered in glow paint. I only realised this after I had leaned against a wall...my clothes now have a special glow in the dark feature to them!

The day was a huge success. Everyone involved had plenty of battles in the laser zone. I would certainly recommend this event for any scouts who would be interested next time.

Skate and Climb

Author: Jake Wells | Date: 25-11-2009

On the 15th of November I went to skate and climb day. There were troops from all around Kent. We had to be at Broadstairs by 10am. When we arrived we had to wait to be signed in and then go into a waiting room. where there were about 20 people and they were all waiting to get on the park. Then a man turned up and told us to get into 3 groups then gave us all different things to do at different times that day. There was climbing skating and team building I had skating first we all ran down to the skating bit to get our kit. We were on each activity for 3 hours I did really well untill I fell off and hurt myself. then we had climbing I got to the top of the wall on both of my goes then we had team building what was interesting and we came last we then had finished and we went. It was a brilliant day except from falling of.
