There was a new running game to learn and work at semaphore, while recruits learned one or two knots and other things necessary for their enrolment. A flower game was played and the names of flowers learned. The Brownies sang “Good King AA enceslas” and heard about their Brown Owl’s recent ski-ing holiday.
