We cycled to Kiyose City's Kanayama Ryokuchi Park for a troop meeting to practice our Scouting skills in the heat of over 36 degrees Celsius, even in June.
Under the shade of a tarp, we built a standing kamado out of bamboo. Lunch was hot stewed hamburgers, yummy, but hot!
We are almost ready for the summer camp and hope to make it an enjoyable camp.

(4) When the Scout in front reads the letters, he should pass the message on to the Scout in front of him. When everyone is finished, appeal and sit down.
Remarks
Surprisingly, this was difficult and hard, and only one group was able to get the message across properly after two attempts. The video shows the scouts who were given the problem of conveying the words "te" "n," and "to." The game itself was interesting, but a little more difficult.
The game itself was interesting, but the difficulty level needs to be adjusted a little more.
Boy Scout Higashimurayama Troop 6 held a meeting "Troop 6 Festival" at Tokyo Metropolitan Nogawa Park. It has been a long time since the troop gathered together due to the suspension of activities by the new Corona.
The theme was "a day at camp", and the boy troop set up a tent in the shape of a house. Since it had been so long since they had set up a tent, they were given a lecture by the leader, but were able to set it up in a decent amount of time and with a reasonable degree of success.
After making lunch over the bonfire (the Boy troop had onigiri (rice balls) due to time constraints, but we had baked sweet potatoes), the afternoon was spent playing games. Everyone from the beaver troop to the troop committee members had a good time moving their bodies together. The Boy Squad was in charge of a game called "Silent Line", which was a lot of fun.
The weather was beautiful and the venue was green and beautiful, and we hope to use it again for another troop meeting.
Introducing a game that can be used in Scouting. This time, we will play "The usual thing is high! This time, we will play "The usual thing is high!
Age : BS and up
Number of players: Any number of players (group game)
Contents
1. Confirm the "usual things" that can be used before the start (adjust if the number of participants in a group is different).
2. The team that can assemble the "usual items" in a certain time from the start with the most ingenuity and raise them as high as possible above the floor (or table) wins.
3.The items that are assembled must be freestanding (no scouts holding them or anything like that).
Comment
Scouts have a game called "Raise the Flag". This is a rainy-weather indoor program version of that game. As with the former game, advance planning and consultation may make the difference. I think that the combination of hand flags and ropes can make the flag quite high. But it doesn't seem to work that well.
Introducing a game that can be used in Scouting. This time it is "Rope Work for Two".
Age : BS and up
Number of players : Up to 20 (group game)
Preparation
Rope: One rope for two people
Scouts form a team of two.
Contents
The Scouts should be shoulder-to-shoulder and hold the rope with their uncrossed outside hand.
The leader gives a rope tying task.
The Scouts tie the rope using only their outside hands (one Scout uses only his right hand, the other his left).
The team that ties the knot the fastest wins!
Comment
This is a game like Ni-Nin-Haori, where you can't do it as fast as you want. Appropriate themes are "Hon-musubi", "Hitoe-tsugi", "Tegusu-musubi", and "Moyai-musubi".
