This semester we had several new Tenderhearts join our troop. So I set out to complete their Joining Award. To help them learn the AHG Oath, we played AHG Oath Twister.
This game was created by one of our Explorers a few years back when they were working on the Toys and Games Merit badge.
She took an ordinary Twister mat and drew on the circles to represent one part of the Oath. 
The red circles represent “Love God” a simple heart and cross was drawn on each one. On each yellow circle a different family was drawn. “Honor my Country” was represented by a flag on the blue circles, and “Serve in my Community” is green.
I modified the game spinner, and we were ready to play (the original one had seen better days). After spinning, I did not call out the color just the phrase.
If you would like to make your own copy of AHG Oath Twister, I have included a pdf file of the spinner. The printout is two pages and was taped to the original game spinner.

Today’s knitting project is a football inspired hat for a little boy. With a family of girls, I don’t often get to knit for boys, but I have had my eye on this pattern for a while. With a small amount of yarn, this hat knitted up super quick. 
I mentioned last week that I was working on a set of baby hats that are going to be donated to a local crisis pregnancy center. Even though the weather is getting warmer (at least in my part of the world), I hope they will be enjoyed by a precious little one when fall arrives in a few months.
I have to admit I really did not know much about Slovakia before this. It is a small country, but full of castles, and caves. Located in the center of Europe, it is bordered by Austria, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine.
