traveled to England to an International Scout camp that was held in Sherwood
Forest.
Skill
Builders:
SB
#1: We traveled by plane to England, during the time we spent in England we
traveled from place to place by a minibus, and while in London we rode the
subway. We took a lot of pictures and shared them when we returned.
SB
#3: Contacted a travel agency to acquire information about travel to England,
we also went through a travel agent to acquire our airline tickets. We talked
to some people who have traveled to England, one lady's husband had been
originally from England.
SB
#4: We made a packing list for our luggage, learned how to pack more
effectively (found that if you roll your clothes up, you can get more in and
the clothes are less wrinkled later). Made a check list of things to take care
of before leaving home, like having the mail stopped, paying bills ahead.
Technology
T #4:
While traveling in London we learned how to read the subway maps and street
maps of London. We also did a hike where we didn't know where we were but the
English scouts had a landmark to identify by, then using a map we found our way
back to the scoutmaster's house.
T #5:
The mechanisms that we found in place in the airports to ensure safety
included: x-ray, customs, and metal detectors.
