You were a Wolf Cub? What was Kims Game?
Tut Tut, I suppose that when someone says Kipling to you you think of cakes!

Kims game is where a number of objects is placed on a tray with a cover over it. The cover is removed for a set time and then replaced and you have to remember as many of the things on the tray as possible. The BBC nicked the idea for the conveyor belt on
The Generation Game.
I was a Wolf Cub, but not for long, they wouldn't let me join in with the games like British Bulldog until I'd mastered my knots, I couldn't get my head round the knot instructions so I thought 'Bugger this for a lark' and left. Oddly enough Kim's game wasn't considered a 'game' as such but a skill to be mastered, so we got quite a lot of that as well as the bloody knots. Mind you I do regret not mastering knots, especially now I only have the use of one arm; many of the sailing knots are designed to be tied one handed.
