KEAS NATIONAL PROGRAMMES
2014 TERM THREE – “Baden’s Bunch”
SCOUTING at its best, it’s who we are!
A Message from the National Kea Leaders
This term’s theme is “Baden’s Bunch”, and it is a real family focused time. We experience some of the things
that were special to Baden Powell and helped him develop ‘Scouting for Boys’. We will have fun learning about
the desert and different ways to communicate along with the significance of the butterfly to Baden Powell. We’ll
learn to be really good spies and follow a trail, and do some Community Service. Keas will enjoy bringing their
Dads or Father figure such as Granddad, uncle or neighbour along to enjoy some quality time together. On
week 2, we are holding a ‘National Bring a Friend’ week, where National Office is offering free badges for those
Keas and Leaders who bring one or more friends along and who decide to become a Kea or Leader.
Term three is the time when we start to prepare our older Keas for transferring to Cubs. You should have heard
about the Kea to Cub Link activity for your Zone. The Kea Leader’s role in this event is to ensure all your Keas
that are moving to Cubs shortly are invited and attend the camp. You are also there to pass on any knowledge
of the Kea to their future Cub Leaders and support the Cub Leaders in running the activities such as being the
cooks or running bases.
Don’t forget to keep track of what you are doing in your sessions each week, along with attendance, so you or
another Leader (or a Parent Helper) can tick off sections of the Keas Bronze, Silver and Gold awards
achievements along with their personal achievement Badges.
Plan to take part in your Region’s Forums /Workshops if you are from the Lower South Island Region (13th and
14th September) and the Lower North Island Region (date to be confirmed at the time of producing these, but
most likely 1st or 2nd weekend of October). The other three Regions are holding theirs in Term 2. Watch out for
information in your regional newsletter and come along to meet other likeminded Leaders. There will be
opportunities for you to give your opinion and share ideas along with getting up to date with the latest things
happening in your section. Regional Forums / Workshops are a really important date on a Kea Leaders
calendar. Organise someone to look after the kids and partner and join us for a fun time!
We would love to receive some photos of you and your Keas in Action – no posing or standing around photos
we want action shots and in the new uniform.
If you don’t yet have the Magical World of Keas follow this link or contact your Regional Office and arrange for
one to be sent to you. http://www.scouts.org.nz/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=0FR7JcLA0ec%3d&tabid=1458
We hoped you have a fantastic ‘BP’ kind of term with loads of action and lots of FUN.

Keas Award Scheme:
We have included references to the Award scheme in the programme; please record all the Keas who
participated in these activities so that they can work towards achieving the Bronze, Silver and Gold Kea Badge
before being promoted to Cubs. A simple way would be to record on your programme sheet who attended the
session and later on transfer the information to the Kea Record Card (included in the resource file) and also
the Wall Chart so Keas can see their progress. Order the badges from Scouting Direct and present them at a
special awards ceremony.
If you need help understanding any of the instructions or need further information please contact your Zone
Kea Leader or contact: Miriam Noble, Assistant National Kea Leader on 021519447 or
[email protected]
We value your comments and feedback so we can continually improve the quality of the programmes, so please
let us know how you got on, what you liked and what didn’t work for you and any suggestions or ideas that you
may have.
Thank you to the Kea Leaders of the Upper South Island Region and Lower South Island Region for your
contribution to these programmes both as part of the Kea workshops held during the 2013 Regional Forums
and afterwards.

Resources: Background
Mafeking -Baden-Powell's game of Bluff
When the siege of Mafeking began, the British regiment was outgunned, outnumbered, and cut off from the
outside world by an army of more than 6000 Boer soldiers.
But Baden-Powell was in charge of the defence, and he was an expert at the "Game of Bluff".
The Butterfly Hunter
Many years before Mafeking, B-P had disguised himself as a butterfly hunter in Dalmatia, and spied on the forts
and defences of the enemy. Whenever he met an enemy soldier, `with my sketch book in hand, I would ask
innocently whether he had seen such-and-such a butterfly in the neighbourhood, as I was anxious to catch one.
Ninety-nine out of a hundred did not know one butterfly from another - any more than I did - so one was on
fairly safe ground in that way, and they thoroughly sympathised with the mad Englishman who was hunting
insects.'
Baden-Powell, quoted by Hillcourt in Baden Powell: ‘The two lives of a hero’.
What the officers did not notice was that Baden-Powell's sketches of butterfly wings included maps of their own
forts and defences...
Barbed Wire
Soon B-P ran out of barbed wire to protect his soldiers' trenches. But he noticed that from a distance, all he
could see was a soldier crawling under some invisible obstacle - he could not actually see the wire. So he told
them to continue putting up posts and stringing imaginary wire between them. Then they would pretend to
crawl under the new `obstacles' they had erected. The enemy had no way of telling that there was no wire in
place.

Game - In the Trenches:
Split the Keas into two groups. Each group lies on their tummies facing each other on opposite sides of the hall
behind a chalk line. There should be about 2 to 3 metres between each team.
Give each Kea two or three ‘bombs’ (screwed up newspaper). On go, Keas have 3 minutes to fire their bombs
at the ‘enemy’, (they must stay on their tummies and where they are), using any others that also come over
their lines.
The ‘army’ that has the most bombs behind their line is the winner. Bombs in no man’s land are not counted.
You should have time for 4 or 5 games.

Game- Find BP
Make’n’Do – Timeline
Equipment: Sets of letters for Baden Powell.
Keas that have finished could help other Keas.
Make a timeline poster (perhaps made out of
wallpaper or newsprint), of BPs life and
Scouting. Have the timeline already drawn out
on the paper and pictures cut out of magazines
and printed off the net and from books. Discuss
and get Keas to glue in the right place. Put it
on the wall for all to see. Include an era in
Scouts whether it be the first camp at Brown
Sea Island to when Scouts, Cubs, Keas,
Venturers and Rovers begun including World
and New Zealand Scout Jamborees or even
your own group’s history.
Game - Advance/Retreat
Song – Taps
Equipment: Nil
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the sea, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Hide the Letters around the hall
Give each Kea a pencil and piece of paper as
they arrive. They need to write down the
letters they find and work out the word. To
make it easier for younger Keas you could
write a small number next to each letter to
signify the order they go in.
Divided the Keas into two teams (cavalry and
infantry).
The cavalry and the infantry face each other
across the hall. The leader calls out Infantry
advance one step or cavalry advance two steps
etc. The teams may pass each other but when
the leader calls Infantry retreat they have to go
back to the wall without being caught by the
cavalry. All those caught change sides. The
game finishes when there is only one infantry
left.
Game - Scout Salute (Form of Duck, duck,
Goose)
Equipment Nil
Choose someone to be “it”. The Kea selected
walks around the circle and taps another Kea
(or Adult) on the shoulder. The two Keas salute
each other and shake hands with the Left hand
shake, at which point the Leader calls go. The
Keas run in opposite directions to try and get
back to the empty space left in the circle first.
The person left out of the circle then continues
the game by walking around the circle and
tapping another Kea or Adult.
Keas – 2014 Term 3 Programmes
Game – Sneak up Granny
Equipment Chair and item such as keys to go
under chair
Have a Kea at end of hall/den sitting on a chair
facing in the other direction, with something
under the chair such as a set of keys. On
‘ready’, the other Keas sneak up on the chair
to try and grab the item under the chair
without being caught. The person on the chair
turns around regularly and Keas must not be
seen moving so freeze as their head turns. The
person to grab the item gets to sit on the chair
next.
Game- Ambidextrous Relay
Equipment: Nil
Form the Keas into a relay team, on go the
first team member hops to designated place on
their left foot, and then back again on their
right foot. As they get back to their team they
tag the next player who repeats this, continue
until all have had a turn.

Action Story - Who are Lord and Lady Baden-Powell?
Lord Baden-Powell was born in England about 150 years ago! When he was an adult he wrote a
book about camping, first aid, animals and lots of other things. He called this book “Scouting for
Boys”. Lots of boys in England bought the book. They loved it so much, they started little groups
called Boy Scouts. In the groups they did all the activities Lord Baden-Powell talked about in his
book and they talked to their friends about how much fun it was. In just a little while, Boy Scout
groups began popping up all over the world.
Lord Baden-Powell had no idea how many boys there were in these groups so he decided to call
them all together for a big party in London. He invited ‘anyone doing Scouting’ to come to the
party. Was he ever surprised when eleven thousand boys showed up. But he was even more
surprised by the small group of girls that came as well! Lord Baden-Powell stood in front of the
girls and asked, “Who are you?” Together they replied proudly, “We are the Girl Scouts.”
Lord Baden-Powell’s sister Lady Agnes Baden-Powell was at the party too. She smiled at the
girls, and then turned to Lord Baden-Powell and said, “It looks like you’re going to have to have
to write a book for the girls too.”
“Hmmm. How about you doing it, Agnes?” replied Lord Baden-Powell.
And so Lady Agnes Baden-Powell wrote a handbook for the girls. Over time younger girls wanted
to join in the fun too, so the Brownies were formed.
Just like the Boy Scouts, the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts spread all over the world!
Give the Keas the instructions on what to do when
certain words are spoken. Give the Parent helper this
sheet so they can help remind the Keas when they
should be doing their actions. The Keas should stand
for this activity and should have a partner – if you
have an odd number of Keas, the Parent helper or
other Leaders can partner with one of the Keas.
Have one leader read the story. Pause a bit
when the Keas should be doing an action
and/or do the action while reading the story.
You should:
Say, “Happy Birthday!” and blow out imaginary candles
Say, “Yahoo!” with one hand raised in the air
Bow
Curtsy
Make a bridge with a partner
Do the Scout sign and say, “Be Prepared”
Say, “Girl Power!” with fisted hands on hips
Shake left hands with your partner

Hidden Message
Kea Leader
Resources:
Spy ID:
Equipment: Cardboard, markers and photos ink pad and possibly laminator.
Method: Have a secret Agent I.D. card with a photo of the JS on it, you could use photos from
magazines, the JSs pick one they like and dress it up with a marker to look like a spy (draw on
glasses, moustaches and beards) or bring their own or take a photo and print on the night. Glue
your picture onto an I.D. card An example is below. You can either cut out both sections, and
paste the backs together - now you have a spy id card on the one side, and a "folded open" credit
card on the other or laminate id card and cut out around it. Write the real name and code name of
the spy on the inside. Write the real name of the spy on the outside of the ID card. Write in black
and in CAPITALS. Paste a passport photo where indicated. With the aid of an ink pad, put a finger
print on the bottom end of the card. Don't forget to set your signature on the back of the 'credit
card'!
If you like, you can laminate the card on both sides with self-adhesive laminate (from an office
supply shop). Cut away the excess. Fold the card such that it looks like a credit card. Flip it open
to reveal your true identity!
Characteristics of a Secret Agent (Sounds just like our Keas!)
There are certain character trades that are common amongst all spies. These aren't skills you can
acquire, you must possess these characteristics if you want to be a top notch spy.
•
Guts!
Spying is not for the feeble minded. You put yourself in unknown, and possibly dangerous,
situations, with only your skills and wits to keep you out of harms way. If you want to know
how to become a spy, ask yourself: do I have what it takes to be a spy?
•
Intelligence
There's a good reason why they've called spying "intelligence". You need to learn many skills
and abilities, and fast! Each new operation calls for different skills, cover and legend, and you
must be able to learn and internalize them in days.
•
Creativity
Spies find themselves facing all kinds of problems, each one calling for a fitting solution.
Unfortunately, most of the time you cannot fall back on some super-duper gadget, issued by
"Q", but you must make do with whatever you have at your disposal.

Game: Obstacle Course
Equipment: use what you have available at your
hall, below are some suggestions.
Method: Keas go through the obstacle course as
part to of their training to be a spy. In relay form
Keas roll under the laser wire – Roll over two gym
mats, Walk through a piranha filled river – walk
between two ropes. climb over the netting –
imagine climbing up and over a mesh netting,
Dodge the bombs in the mine field – walk between
ball ‘ bombs’, jump across the volcano – jump
across volcano on carpet squares, run to a tree and
back through obstacle course, tag next team
member.
Make n Do: Code Cracker or Maker
Game: Catch the Spy
Method: Cut a rectangle about 7 cm x 19 cm
from recycled cereal box cardboard. Fold the
rectangle in half so the long ends meet. Snip
into the fold at 3 cm from each end. Unfold.
Cut into each snip to make a 4 cm opening
centre and running parallel to each short end.
To make the code breaker, cut a 23 cm x 4
cm piece of card/paper to fit in the code
maker's slots. Trim the sides of the code
breaker so it will glide easily when you put it
into the code maker. Write A through M to the
left and N through Z to the right in the
spaces. Write the code letters on the code
breaker strip so they line up with your code
maker alphabet.
You can make several codes by sliding the
code breaker up so each letter is aligned with
a different letter. Write the top two letters
that disappear in the new spaces at the
bottom. Mark lines on the construction paper
strip at the top to show how to line up the
letters for the particular message you are
sending, then be sure to tell the message's
recipient at which line to arrange the code
breaker.
Equipment: Nil
Method: Keas form a long line with palms up at
one end of the hall. One Kea moves along the line
slapping their hand onto the offered hands saying
Kea, Kea, Kea, SPY. On ‘SPY’ they immediately run
off to the opposite end of the hall with the spy in
hot pursuit. If they make it to the end of the hall
without being tagged the spy moves to the middle
of the hall and the first Kea has to the count of 5 to
get passed the SPY. Repeat.
Game: Name the Spy
Equipment: Balloon with face drawn on. (Have
extra balloons in case needed)
Method: The Keas are to say their name (their
secret code name) and hit the balloon to another
Kea. The balloon is passed around until all Keas
have introduced themselves. You could also make
up names of Villains e.g. Bob the Bandit.
Game: Hidden Message
Equipment: Messages hidden around the hall (in
reverse), mirrors.
Method: Keas must look around hall for hidden
messages. Once message found and worked out
using the mirror, Keas go to leader and answer the
question, must answer 3 to win.
Messages are Keas Questions: How old do you have
to be, to be a Kea? What afternoon do Keas meet?
What is the Kea Motto and Promise? Etc.
Make n Do: Invisible Ink Message
Equipment: Lemons, (squeeze as need juice),
cotton buds, paper and iron
Method: Using lemon juice, write an invisible
message and allow drying time. Use an iron to read
them. Your messages could be the Kea Motto and
Promise or anything your Keas are capable of
writing. (Read them at the end of the night.) You
can also pair the Keas up so they can read each
other’s message.
Keas – 2014 Term 3 Programmes
Equipment:
Scissors,
markers,
ruler,
construction paper, recycled cereal boxes.
Hold on to the Code Crackers for Week 8.
Make sure they are named.
Interesting Information
Cryptography is the study of making and
decoding secret messages. When you substitute
one letter for another letter you are actually
using a cipher. A code is technically a message
in which one word substitutes for another word.

Summary description
Leader
This week we are lending a hand to others in our Community who are needing a hand and finding out about
and helping at a food bank in your area. This may require Parent Help for carpooling and assistance to take
part in one of the activities. Your local Rover Crew and Venturer Unit are available to help with organisation
and collection.
Here are some suggestions:
 Visit the local food bank to find about what they do and help pack some boxes of food. Ask Keas to
take a tin of something (in good condition) or a gold coin to donate towards the food bank. We
recommend that Parents bring Keas directly to the food bank rather than you having to organise to
get everyone there. To assist with this you will need to contact the organisers of the food bank and
offer your assistance. Your local Rover Crew and Venturer Unit are also happy to join you and help so
contact your Regional Office to find out the contact details for the Leader. Make sure you invite your
local paper along or take photos and give them to the paper along with a short report.
 Contact your local Rover Crew and Venturer Unit to ask for assistance to do a collection for the local
food bank. This could be outside your local supermarket (roster members of your group (Keas, Cubs,
Scouts, along with the Rovers and Venturers on between 4pm and 7pm on one night of the week
asking people to donate to the local food bank. Have them delivered the next morning. Once again,
make sure you invite your local paper along or take photos and give them to the paper along with a
short report.
 Contact your local Rover Crew and Venturer Unit to ask for assistance to organise a collection for the
local food bank. We recommend that you involve your local fire brigade, police or ambulance (flashing
lights and sirens help bring attention), and collect around the streets of your community. Use your
local radio and newspaper for publicity and put a small notice in every letter box (Foodbank Collection
between 4pm and 7pm Thursday night in your street organised by the XYZ Scout Group. Listen for
the horns and please donate a can or packet of something.). You will require trailers and cars with
flashing lights, (Parents could help with this), fluro vests for safety and an organised plan. This can be
done in rural areas by visiting each farm (your friendly Rural delivery person may deliver notices for
you.
 Invite the local Food bank coordinator to Keas to join in the afternoon’s program and tell the Keas what
they do and why they need a helping hand. Ask Keas to bring a tin of something (in good condition)
and /or a donation towards the coin trail for the food bank. See programme below for this option.

Ask to meet with new Keas and Parents afterwards. Are they
enjoying themselves? Would they like to join Keas permanently? If
so – tell them of plans for an investiture ceremony in two weeks.
Organise the purchase of a uniform and payment of a registration
fee (most Groups charge a fee that covers an investiture pack and
woggle along with the Group scarf). If the keas aren’t enjoying
themselves ask why, tell them what is coming up next week,
Parents may like to become a Leader, suggest they continue to
attend for the last of their 4 free weeks.

Resources:
Game: Rain, Thunder and Lightning
Equipment: Nil
Method: Keas scatter around and stand on
their spot. There are three commands that can
be called out – rain means they slap their
thighs quickly; thunder means they stamp their
feet; lightning means they have to run to
change places with another Kea. Things can be
made tricky by sometimes calling out rain and
thunder in quick succession.
Game: Find a group
Equipment: Nil
Method: Leader calls out a number and Keas
have to form groups of that number. Leader
may also call out a shape. Remind Keas to be
caring towards each other and try to include
everyone.
Make n Do: Whirligig
Equipment: String and buttons
Method: Thread the string through the button
holes (you may need a needle to do so) and tie
with a reef knot of course. This is the sort of toy
the Kea granddad would have made to play
with when he was a boy.
Game: Kea size Tic Tac Toe
Equipment: Chalk
Method: Divide Keas into 2 teams (Posses) (or
if you have 20 or more Keas you may need to
divide into 4 teams), ‘noughts’ and ‘crosses’,
draw a Kea sized Tic Tac Toe grid on the floor
with chalk (two if you have 4 teams). The
teams take turns pick a square ‘noughts’ make
a circle with their body and ‘crosses’ make an X
with their body. The aim is to get three in a
row. This is basically a Kea sized game of
Noughts and Crosses.
Song: - I’ve got that BP feeling
(Point to each part of the body when it is
named.)
I've got that BP feeling up in my head,
Up in my head, up in my head
I've got that BP feeling up in my head.
Up in my head to stay.
I've got that BP feeling down in my toes,
Down in my toes, down in my toes,
I've got that BP feeling down in my toes.
Down in my toes to stay.
I've got that BP feeling deep in my heart,
deep in my heart, deep in my heart
I've got that BP feeling deep in my heart.
Deep in my heart to stay.
I've got that BP feeling up in my head,
Down in my toes, deep in my heart,
I've got that BP feeling all over me,
All over me to stay to stay.

Ask to see Senior Keas and their Parents who are
going to this weekend’s Kea Cub link Camp to ensure
all knows when, where, how and what.
Kea Cub Link Camp:
Contact your Zone Kea Leader for information regarding the Kea Cub Link Camp in your Zone. By doing it in
your Zone there is good support you as a Leader and for your Keas heading to Cubs and the best part is being
able to network with other Leaders or for the children, Keas also in the same position as them that they might
experience Cub Camps and later Jamboree with. Cub Leaders and Sixer and seconder Leaders must be involved
to make this a success.
See the Kea – Cub Link Camp resource which is available by signing into the SCOUTS New Zealand website and
clicking the Kea Button at the top and look under Resources or Downloads, or by asking your Regional Office to
send it to you (there will be a small cost to the Group).
Don’t forget to get an article in your local paper with photos and also load a photo and short description onto
the Kea Facebook Page (Scouts New Zealand Kea Section).

Investiture:








Keas and their families, are asked to
assemble on the other-side of the arch /
bridge and one by one you will be sending a
Posse Leader (of the Posse the Kea will be
joining) to lead the Kea and their family to
come through the arch or over the bridge
where we will be investing them (in
alphabetical order) with the support of their
families. Explain the reason / meaning for
archway / bridge.
All those in the circle are asked to come to
attention.
Call the first Kea to be invested “John
(Posse Leader) will you please go over
the bridge (or through the arch) to
invite Mark and his family to come and
join the Kea Circle.”
The Posse Leader then goes over the bridge
or through the arch and asks the kea and
his family to follow them to come into the
Kea circle. They stand infront of the
investing Leader with their family in a half
circle around the back of them. Those in the
circle should be at attention. NB: Please take
time to show the Posse Leader(s) what to do
and say the week before and check when
they arrive that they remember what to do.
You will probably need to go over it again
with them.
The Investing Leader asks “ Name are you
ready to become a Kea?” The Kea
answers “yes”.
The Investing Leader asks “ Everyone
please make the Scout sign” (this does
not include non uniformed or non invested
people).
“Name do you know your Kea promise?
Lets all say it together: I share, I care, I
discover, I grow. Now we will say our
Kea motto together – I will try to share
my fun and help others”
Keas – 2014 Term 3 Programmes
Secure the scarf around the neck of the Kea
with the Leather Kea Woggle and shake the
Keas hand with your left hand while saying
some
words
of
encouragement
and
welcome.
 Another Leader or the Investing Leader then
hands them the Kea investiture Pack and
says “Welcome to the worldwide
brotherhood of scouting”
 The Kea then shake the other Leaders hands
(if any)
 “ Please turn around and salute the
circle and they will salute you back as a
welcome”
 The newly invested Kea is then asked to
stand in the circle with their posse. The
family is asked to either stand / sit in
allocated area for guests.
 The next Kea is called and ceremonies
continue until all Keas are invested.
NB: This does take a while if you have a
number of Keas to invest, but remember this is
a Scout Ceremony and it should it’s importance.

Make n Do – Butter:
Ice Cream Continued:
What is Butter Anyway?
When raw milk is left to stand, it separates into
skim milk and cream. The cream has proteins
and fats in it.
When you shake the cream, all the fat globs
stick together and make butter. The liquid part
has the proteins and that’s the buttermilk.
What You Need
A jar (a jam jar is a good size or even a baby
food jar for just a small amount) and cream.
How to Do It:
Fill the jar about quarter or halfway with the
cream and screw the lid on and shake.
Keep shaking! You can also roll the jar across
the floor or table, just to change things up a bit.
After a few minutes, you’ll have whipped
cream. After about
10 minutes you’ll notice a more solid blob
forming.
When your butter is formed, drain off the
buttermilk. Rinse the butter and press it into
cheesecloth or a coffee filter to dry it and
remove the last of the liquid.
Add a little salt if you like.
Eat it right away, or put it in the fridge to send
home with the Keas later.
Tips:
1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice
cream, so double the recipe if you want more.
But don't increase the proportions more than
that -- a large amount might be too big for kids
to pick-up because the ice itself is heavy.
Vacuum Cleaner Game (relay)
You require: Newspapers (1 per team) (rolled
up to make a stick approx 57cm long, tape
edges. Ice cream containers (1 per team),
cones (or similar) to make obstacle courses.
Divide Keas into even teams. First Kea puts one
end of stick into ice cream container. On “GO”
they race from one end of the hall and back
zigzagging through the obstacle course. Next
Kea them goes until whole team has had their
turn and sits down.
Vacuuming is finished!
NB: Don’t forget to involve all Adults as well.
Ice Cream:
What you'll need: (per person)
 1 tablespoon sugar
 1/2 cup milk or half & half
 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
 6 tablespoons rock salt
 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g.,
Ziploc)
 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
 Ice cubes
How to make it:
 Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add
the rock salt. Seal the bag.
 Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small
bag, and seal it.
 Place the small bag inside the large one,
and seal it again carefully.
 Shake until the mixture is ice cream,
which takes about 5 minutes.
 Wipe off the top of the small bag, and
then open it carefully. Enjoy!

Newspaper Ice Hockey:
KEYS TO SUCCESS:
An oldie, but a goody - particularly with the
younger crew
Do your best to pair up competitors with people
of similar caliber. If number 4 on one team is
you’re most athletic, enthusiastic, win-at-allcosts guy, make sure number 4 on the other
team isn’t the timid new girl.
SET UP:
Two goals are required at each end of the
room. Prepare two rolled up newspapers, firmly
wrapped and taped with mask or gaff tape.
Freeze water in a ‘salmon’ size can and ease
out just prior to the game to use as the ‘puck”.
Split the group into two teams and number
them off, starting at 1. Make sure each person
knows what number he or she is and that there
is a corresponding number on the other team.
A fast game is a good game. Give them a 60
second time limit before sending them back and
calling a different number. The hockey stick
must be dropped the moment a new number is
called and the player run straight back to their
place in line.
GAME ON:
Newspaper hockey is exactly what it suggests:
playing hockey with a newspaper. The only
difference is, instead of having the whole team
on the field at one time, teams are lined up
along the sidelines, given a number each and
then when their number is yelled out by our
leading referee, they dart from their spot, pick
up
the
make-do
hockey
stick
(rolled
newspaper), and start hitting the puck toward
their teams goal. So when a number gets
called, a person from red team and the
corresponding person from blue team dart out
and dual. Be sure to give points for every
successful goal scored. A goal is scored when
the puck is hit under the chair between the
front two legs (not the side).

other activity Akela chooses. Remember Keas do not cook open
fires and Cubs cook over hobo Stoves so Cubs may work with
Keas to cook on a Hobo stove (Fires should be already burning
and ready for the Hobo Stove prior to this activity). Keas and
Cubs should all have closed in shoes for this activity.

Resources:
Game: On the River on the bank
Either stretch a rope out in a long line or draw a
line with chalk down the length of the hall.
The leader explains that one side of the line is
the "river" and the other side of the line is the
"bank". It is essential to be at the right spot at
the right time (can make up story about
scorpions on the bank at some times and
piranhas in the river at others).
Players then line up, on the bank. The Leader
then shouts out one of two commands - "river"
or "bank".
If the Leader calls "river", players must jump
forward across the boundary line into the
"river". If the Leader calls "bank", players must
jump back to the "bank". The Leader can call
bank or river multiple times in a row.
If a player jumps when they are not supposed
to (or fails to jump in an adequate amount of
time), they are eliminated from the game. (it
can be helpful to have another leader (or Parent
Help) help judge who should be out.
Game: Captain's Coming
The players assemble in the centre of the
playground or in the hall. If outside make some
boundaries about the size of the hall. The leader
calls out various commands (see below).
Explain the actions prior to the start of the
game. Include Cubs. The last person to follow
the instruction is out. Continue until there is
one left.

Summary description
Leader
This week we are inviting dads or Father figures (Granddads, Uncles, neighbour, family friend) to join us for a
fun activity using our Code crackers from Week 3 and some tracking tools to find out about our local
community.
For some of you this activity may need to be run in and around your hall but it really is a great opportunity to
get the Dads out there with their children learning together and having fun. Maybe some of these Dads will
enjoy themselves so much that they may want to do it every week and become a Leader.
Coming In
Crack the Code:
Duty Leader
Using the Code Cracker we made in Week 3 (or possibly
you may need materials available to make one at this
time), Keas and their Dads need to crack your Code.
Parent Help
As they arrive have tables set up with a couple of Codes
typed on paper for them to figure out. Suggestions are
‘Keas are Super Cool’, ‘Keas love having Dads joining us
tonight’ ‘Keas make great Special Agents’.

Leader
This week we are helping to keep our community beautiful as part of the ‘Keep New Zealand Beautiful’
campaign week. Look at the website http://www.knzb.org.nz/News++Events/KNZB+Week+2014.html or
contact your local council office to give you ideas of what you can do to make your community more
beautiful. You may like to join your whole group in this activity as part of our community service modules.
There are Grants available that can help you doing this. Ideas include:

Grab lots of rubbish bags and disposable gloves and clean up the rubbish around your local park,
picnic area, lake, river beach or another area in your community. Take back supermarket trolleys and
generally give your community a spring clean. Wear your uniform so people know who you are.

Plant some plants in one of the above areas to beautify it.

Paint a mural or building to help make your community beautiful. See the knzb website for details of
the ‘Wall Worthy’ Competition. Resene may be able to sponsor you doing this.

Hold a big working bee at your own Scout Hall. Hold a big spring clean! Tidy up around and inside it.
Clean it from top to toe. Spruce it up with new gardens and a paint job and make sure it has an up to
date Scouts sign to let everyone know you are there. It might be a good time to look at your
quartermasters store and repair and replace items. Your Group may want to allocate each section a
job. Your Committee should be able to get grants or sponsorship (Resene for paints) to help fund this
project.

Finally don’t forget to get an article in your local paper and upload a photo and description to the Kea
Section Facebook page (Scouts New Zealand Kea Section).

Keas taking part should have the Award Component of either Outdoors 3B (Environment, Pick up
Litter) or Community 2D (My Community, Take part in a combined activity) or Community 2 F (My
Community Activity in your Community with your Kea Club).
Next week:
To prepare for next week’s programme and ceremony we recommend that you:

Discuss with the Kea Club and their parents the importance of attending next week – don’t forget to bring a
plate of party food. Mention that Keas will be an hour and a half next week.

Discuss with the Keas moving to Cubs and their Parents to give them an idea of the ceremony and their
part in it. Emphasise the importance of the family being there and joining in.

Plan with the other Kea Leaders and the Cub Leaders to ensure you have everything sorted and in place to
make this a special night for your Keas moving to Cubs. Make sure Investiture packs, woggles, badges and
flight certificates are ordered at least a week in advance and have certificates written out prior to arriving
next week.

Let your Parent Helps know what you need them to do.

Source the Pot plants, ferns or greenery to make the archway or bridge special and have it set up before
Keas or Cubs arrive.

Leader
This week we are joining with the Cub Pack for a fun party night to celebrate our Senior Keas progressing to
Cubs. In some Groups this will include other sections as well.
Get everyone to bring a plate of party food, play some old fashioned games and set aside time to have the
special investiture ceremony of Keas into Cubs, so they straight into Cubs next term, already having achieved
their Cub Badge so they can hit the ground the running.
You will most likely need to allow for this week’s programme and possibly adjust the start time to fit in with
the Cub Pack. See below for ideas for an awesome investiture ceremony – and don’t forget to include family –
they are flying up as well, keep them involved.
Coming In

Food to go to kitchen – have a couple of Parent Help
(whose children aren’t going to Cubs) to be in charge
of the food (heating and setting out).


Keas that are flying up to Cubs directed to table where
they make a handprint wing and attached to the Kea
Club Koa Kea Poster on wall with their name written on
it. (see resources).

Everyone else directed to another part of the room to
put together their paper cup for a game later,(see
resources).

Gather the Cubs and Cub Leaders in a circle in front of
the flag as they would normally.
Cub Leaders

Gather the Keas and Kea Leaders in a circle on the
other side of the archway or bridge (see Resources).
Kea Leaders

Ask the families to be seated. Have seats organised so
that everyone can see but particularly have the
families of the Keas flying to Cubs in reserved seating
– make them feel important and realise that this is an
important occasion.

The Cub pack should start by doing an opening
ceremony and flag break.

Akela asks one of the Sixer Leaders to bring the first
Kea to be invested into Cubs (alphabetical order is
fairest). “John, please could you go over the bridge
and bring Peter Brown into the Cub Pack circle”. John
goes through the arch or bridge and waits on the other
side for the Kea Leader to say her words (see below),
and then brings Peter into the circle, where both John
and Peter stand in front of Akela, where Akela asks for
Peter’s family to come forward and stand behind Peter

and John. Peter is then invested into Cubs, receives his
Cub badge and Sixer woggle put in place of his Kea
woggle. Akela presents Peter with his certificate and
Cub Investiture Pack before shaking hands. Akela asks
Peter to turn to the Cub Pack and asks the Cubs to
Salute Peter, who returns the salute, as a sign of
acceptance into the Cub Pack. John then takes Peter
back to stand next to him in the circle with the rest of
his new Six. The family are asked to sit down. And
Akela asks the next Sixer to bring the next Kea
forward to be invested. Continue until all have been
invested into Cubs.


When Akela asked John to bring Peter into the Cub
Pack circle, the Kea Leader asks the Keas to form an
opening in the circle near the archway/ bridge and
asks Peter to come forward. The Kea Leader then gives
a short farewell speech such as “Peter, today we
farewell you to Cubs. You joined our Kea Club 18
months ago and in that time you have been on two
Kea Sleepovers, a Kea hike, taken part in two Anzac
Parades and many other activities, earning you the
Gold Kea Award and 8 Personal Challenge Badges. We
thank you for being a great member of our Kea Club
and will remember you for the way you looked after
other people. I present you with your Kea Flight
Certificate and ask you now to go with John to be
invested as a Cub. (Present the Certificate (also any
badges earned but not yet presented) and shake
hands).
Encourage all to take part in the games – here

Game - Newspaper Ice Hockey:
An oldie, but a goody - particularly with the
younger crew
SET UP:
Two goals are required at each end of the
room. Prepare two rolled up newspapers, firmly
wrapped and taped with mask or gaff tape.
Freeze water in a ‘salmon’ size can and ease
out just prior to the game to use as the ‘puck”.
Split the group into two teams and number
them off, starting at 1. Make sure each person
knows what number he or she is and that there
is a corresponding number on the other team.
1. Have enough balloons already blown up for
everyone with about 1 metre of string tied
to each one.
2. Each person ties a balloon to his or her
ankle.
3. On go players try to pop each other’s
balloon. Once your balloon is popped you
are out of the game and must go to the
side.
4. The winner is the last person with their
balloon still intact.
NB: You could play many different games with
balloons – let your imagination run wild!
Game - Rob the Nest:
GAME ON:
Newspaper hockey is exactly what it suggests:
playing hockey with a newspaper. The only
difference is, instead of having the whole team
on the field at one time, teams are lined up
along the sidelines, given a number each and
then when their number is yelled out by our
leading referee, they dart from their spot, pick
up
the
make-do
hockey
stick
(rolled
newspaper), and start hitting the puck toward
their teams goal. So when a number gets
called, a person from red team and the
corresponding person from blue team dart out
and dual. Be sure to give points for every
successful goal scored. A goal is scored when
the puck is hit under the chair between the
front two legs (not the side).
KEYS TO SUCCESS:
Do your best to pair up competitors with people
of similar caliber. If number 4 on one team is
you’re most athletic, enthusiastic, win-at-allcosts guy, make sure number 4 on the other
team isn’t the timid new girl.
A fast game is a good game. Give them a 60
second time limit before sending them back and
calling a different number. The hockey stick
must be dropped the moment a new number is
called and the player run straight back to their
place in line.
Keas – 2014 Term 3 Programmes
Game - Balloon Stomp:
Equipment
Small Balls or Bean Bags (enough for one per
player) these are the eggs.
Enough Hoops or ropes formed into a circle for
one per team and one extra. (Nest)
Instructions:
Split players into equal teams (3 to 6 teams is a
good number). Number each player within the
teams. Place all ‘Eggs” into a ‘Nest’ in the
middle of the playing area. Spread the other
nests in a circle around but away from the
central nest.
The Leader starts by calling a number. All
players with this number run to the central nest
and take 1 egg back to their nests.
Leader continues to call numbers until all eggs
have left the central nest.
Once all objects from the central nest have
gone runners may “rob” the nests of other
groups.
The game is won when either one team has all
the eggs or the Leader says stop and the
winner is the team with the most eggs.
Changes of number can be called at any time
– if a new number is called during the middle of
play runners must place eggs they are holding
on the ground and return to their nests so the
new player can take over.
All eggs are returned to the central nest
following a win and the game begins again.

To make paper up see plan on next page.
If possible play this outside.
Split everyone into equal teams of 6 – 10
people including an all-Adult team. A good
way to do this is get everyone to get into a
line shortest to tallest – one Adult line and
one line for children. Then number each
person by the number of teams you have.
Using the cups they have just made
transport water from one container (ie
bucket) to another similar size bucket. Have
something available to take water out of
first bucket and pour into the cup.
Put the timer on for 7 minutes. On stop the
winning team is the one with the most water
in their bucket. You may need to use a ruler
to measure depth.
