If a player lands at thebottom of the ladder, heshould read the "action"aloud and then move upthe ladder to the higherplace on the board.

If the player lands on asnake head, he reads theaction and then slidesdown to the bottom ofthe snake.

How to Form a SV ClubIf you do not have a Scouts Voice club in your school, talk to your scout leaderabout forming one. Talk to scouts in your school about starting a club. Meet andelect club leaders: Identify a teacher who is youth friendly to be your patron. Informthe school that you have formed a club. Now you have your club!

others discriminate them. For exampleif a person is infected and has abusiness, customers run to othertraders and he/she ends up closing thebusiness. As a scout, I would adviseand encourage people infected to livepositively. If my friend gets infected Iwould still visit, play and help him insubjects where Im better.By EvansOdhiambo, Form 4, Mutiga Boys Sch.
