Banner for Campfire!

Hey guys!

This year our campfire theme is Survivor: Island Sinapoa Pākē Kaikamahine kula and we need guides to volunteer to design the banner. The design should portray the theme clearly so the campfire name has to be written on it and it should be related to tiki, survivor and campfire. It should also reflect guides' values like inter-dependence and teamwork. We also need volunteers to design the school signs (signs which have the school names so people can locate where their seats are) Please tell either me or Faith if you would like to volunteer. The dateline for the designs is 13th January so start on your designs soon!

P.S. your design doesn't have to be coloured!

Love,

Josephine
