Ten decoratively painted young hands

Harmony Day in 2009 transported the Joey mob to Malaysia and India.

In Malaysia the mob learned to count to five : 1– satu ; 2 – dua ; 3 – tiga ; 4 – empat ; 5 – lima.

After a brainstorming session on decorations used by cultures around the world, the mob learned a little about some of the henna decorations used in India.

Some women in India decorate the backs of their hands and their arms right up to their elbow on the day they are getting married. This henna paste painting is called Mendhi and is linked to Hindu worship.

The mob then had the chance to draw their own hands and decorate them on paper before having some real (face) paint applied to their own hands.

Tonight was a most enjoyable night at Joeys – themed “Tribal Night.” After playing games of “the Tiger and the Villagers,” followed by “Find the Good Fruit” our mob took some time to learn about Baden-Powell and the wooden beads. These beads are used to signify a leader’s achievement of advanced training and date back to the very first leadership courses run by B.P.

To learn more of the story, read “The Wood Badge Beads of Dinzulu” from “The African Seeds of Scouting.”

Additionally Wattle, Kanga & Tietta hold the night very special since we have invested our newest Joey Scout into the mob. Welcome!

Please wear as much orange as you can, with your Scout hat and Group Scarf the only required uniform. Mum, Dads and carers could you please bring along a plate of food for a supper towards the end of the meeting.
