Lifescouts #5

So far i feel like most of the lifescout experiences i've had are fairly generic, so i tried to choose one that maybe isn't so common, or in any case is perhaps a bit more interesting.
so i chose the Rainforest Badge.

a few fun stories about me and rainforests.
1. I went to Queensland on a holiday with my family when i was six or seven (where else but queeeenslaaaand...who remembers that song?) and one of the things we did was a rainforest walk. it wasn't guided, we just went as a family, and we read a sign along the way that said 'beware of cassowaries" 
a cassowary for those who don't know is a somewhat threatening bird that looks like this:

the sign , which looked like this:

told us that if confronted by a cassowary, one should back away slowly and hide behind a tall tree. 

we all laughed thinking this would not be a problem and went on our merry way. we were happily walking through the rainforest when A WILD CASSOWARY APPEARED! (cue pokemon music)

so we all did the logical thing and hid behind dad.

i was going to share another rainforest-related anecdote but i realised you can't top the cassowary story so here is my badge.
