when you have read the book…
you can answer this question…
When Percy was small he had only one Forest Folk Fellowship badge. What did he get his commendation for?
I’ll send a signed bookplate and dedication, written by both Mum and I, to anyone who gets in touch with the right answer!
And for a bonus prize, what do you think the badges in the picture are for?
Great to see Dixie & Percy back we cant wait to read about thier 3rd adventure in the meantime owing to my complete inexperience of scouting or guiding here are my incorrect guesses
Synchronised jumping
Writing Egyptian hieroglyphs
Outrunning bats
Bunnies from spotted handkerchiefs
Cake catapulting & piercing
Pirate map marking
Water digging
Toolbox emptying
Firm handshakes
Getting enough zzzzzz’s
Running with scissors
Watercan arranging
Marvellous guesses! 100% right, naturally.
The tie-breaker is an impromptu game of cake-catapulting and then you will be given honorary Forest Folk Fellowship membership.
Love that Percy was commended for his egg custard – bless him!
My badge guesses;
Disco dancing (bit hot when you’re wearing tweed I would think!)
Empathy with birds
Racquet skills
Starring in the Christmas pantomime (Dick Whittington)
Frequent attendance at the Didsworth Cottage Creamery
DIY soft furnishings
Honey making
House plant maintenance
Rescue boating
Emergency First Aid
Woodmanship
Improving neighbourhood relationships
Hello Catherine – thank you for your wonderful guesses!
I LOVE disco dancing in tweed – and feel sure Dixie and Percy will blossom in the soft furnishings lessons… x
