Notes:

1. Notice that most games need no explanation or details as the PL's (indeed, all the Scouts) are used to playing and running them. Those that are new have their origins noted in the program when they choose such a game at the programme planning meeting.

2. This program was completely planned and run by the Patrol Leaders themselves (well.. except for the fact that some of the 'teaching' of the badgework had to be done by the leaders. What I mean is they plan and execute the program..that does not mean they have to teach and assess every part of the badges).

3. This program holds more information than previous ones (extra notes) as the PL's are taking on more and more of the day to day organising and running. We decided to include relavent district and county events on the program to remind them of upcoming events and they all received a full district calendar of events on a seperate sheet.
