Crafts : Bead work; bows and arrows, moccasins (we got
hold of a lot of leather offcuts), model tepees, canoes and
totem poles etc.. Each patrol also made a large totem pole for
outside their tent.
Outdoor activities : pioneering – rope bridges, BIG
tepee (not very successful), backwoods cooking. Every camp-fire
song vaguely related to the theme – Land of the Silver Birch,
We are the Red Men (not PC, I gather, but it doesn’t have the
same perjorative meaning in the UK), Take me back to the Black
Hills, I’m an Indian too, Black Crow’s Spirit. Tracking in the
woods,
Camp Challenges : invent pictograph language and send
messages to another patrol / unit; costumes for Patrol mascots
