| 6.5.2015 (6Y2M1D) - They started by gathering in a circle - such bond of unity smile emoticon |
We tried out another Scout group today called Lyngby Baptistspejder. This is a small group - 6 boys and 1 girl. It is mostly boys, compared with FDF Scout group, which are mostly girls. This is the 6-9 years old group.
There are 3 leaders, who are very competent, friendly and caring. This is the first Scout group that started by singing the Scout song. This is also the first Scout group which introduced everyone's name to us, and played the name game. This is also the first Scout group which ended by singing the scout song.
The children are extremely wonderful too - very welcoming. Several of the boys came up to our Little FECS and striked a conversation with him. One of them even came on his own initiative to help J how to tie a knot.
Today, they learned to tie a knot, make a fire and make food over the fire. Each and every kid got a turn to try making a fire, by lighting a match-stick. Each and every kid also got to learn to cut banana.
This is also the first scout group that went through the program of the day with the kids. All in all very professional, fun and educational. The pastor was there too :-)
They state in their website that it is an alcohol-free Scout group.

| They sat down and introduced themselves to us - the first scout group that did that during our visit smile emoticon They played a name game to help everyone remember our names smile emoticon |
 |
| One of the leaders went through the program for the day... very professional and organised: 1) Tie knot 2) Make Fire 3) Make food 4) Play |
 |
| This boy Bertram moved over on his own initiative and showed J how to tie knot - such a young boy, but showed such leadership, care, concern and empathy for others, especially the newcomers... such powerful role model for J smile emoticon |
 |
| Next they learned how to make a fire with the adult leaders... and this Scout Association has the most number of experienced adult leaders compared to the ones we have visited smile emoticon |
 |
| They took the time to teach each and every kid how to make a fire, the only Scout group which did that. The other Scout group just made the fire for the kids. |
 |
| Here J was so excited to light the fire for the first time, and he actually managed to create a fire, although 2 other kids before him had tried smile emoticon |
 |
| Lots of patience from the leader smile emoticon |
 |
| Each step of the way, it is explained to the kids... wow... I was impressed smile emoticon |
 |
| Chopping woods just like the way I read in story books as a child... I never tried such things in Singapore!!! |
 |
| The kids preparing to grill banana with chocolates... and each kid got to learn how to cut the banana himself, a Montessori activity smile emoticon |
 |
| The leader demonstrating while the kids looked on... |
 |
 |
| Joshua having a blast of the time slitting the banana smile emoticon |
 |
| Here the leader personally taught Joshua how to cut the banana smile emoticon |

 |
| There are parking lots for parents who drive their children there smile emoticon |
 |

 |
| This is the Danish pastor of the church, Rikke. She is a very sweet and caring lady smile emoticon |

| Timing how long Bertram could hang on the wooden pole... press on Bertram smile emoticon |
 |
| A total of 29 seconds... well-done Bertram smile emoticon |

| Oscar would like to try too smile emoticon |
 |
| Time to say goodbye... they are singing the Scout goodbye song... and it is from the Bible smile emoticon |
