Last Saturday we held our Straight Arrow Potlatch for all of the Straight Arrows in the Section. Some of you in the past have asked for ideas for a Straight Arrow event, so this is what our Section does: Reserve and an area with picnic tables and a covered area.(especially if your in the Pacific NW) Duane and I bring our Tee-Pee and set it up. Cmdrs wear Indian attire if at all possible. Agenda: Recite the pledges to the American Flag, Christian Flag, Bible and say the Straight Arrow pledge Sing some songs - (we sang the NO-RAIN dance song, and an apache song Duane learned on the Indian reservation he grew up on called "Jesus in the family") Open in prayer EVENTS: (ribbons are given out 1st - 5th place - that way by the end of the day everyone has gotten some sort of ribbon) Sack Race (we give out ribbons 1st - 5th places) Ring Toss (rubber rings tossed over wooden stakes in the ground) Frisbee Toss (each Straight Arrow stands on the spot wear their Frisbee lands to determine winners) break for a meeting in the Tee Pee. Rangers sit on blankets and a Cmdr tells an Indian story. Softball Toss Baton Relay Race Wheelbarrow Race break #2 for a meeting in the Tee Pee. Cmdr tells another Indian tale. Potluck Lunch and fellowship (we roasted marshmallows as an added bonus) Closing Devotion and alter call. Penny Toss (rope out a large circle with a rope on the ground. While the Straight Arrows are listening to a devotion in another area, toss pennies inside the roped area. This works well in a grassy area). The Rangers then line up and stand on the rope and are given a paper cup. Then when Cmdr says GO! They hunt for all of the pennies in the grass. They are allowed to keep all the pennies they find.
