Practices from 1977-2014 were unfortunately lost in the Great Fire. Many of them are still in practice, though. A Wild Jeffery may say "it's the Wild Jeffrey Way!" to indicate that it is in fact a Practice still in use but no longer written in any documents.
2015-2022: Few were added during this time and many are not used by most Wild Jeffers. The most notable may be the "ouch" Hiking Chant.
We have some winners of the 2023 vote! See list below:
Seashell Oracles: Followers of the Wild Jeffrey Way engage in the ancient art of "seashell oracles" at the beach. They gather unique seashells, interpret their shapes and patterns, and use them as a playful tool to gain insights into their future adventures and life paths.
Sandcastle Meditation: Instead of the conventional meditation practices, the Wild Jeffrey Way encourages a unique form called "sandcastle meditation." Beachgoers construct intricate sandcastles as they immerse themselves in the creative process, finding tranquility and focus while sculpting their sandy masterpieces.
Cliff yodelling: when jumping off cliffs into the water, Wild Jeffers yodel versions of popular songs in the air in honour of uniting traditional and popular cultures.
These three Practices are now officially a part of the Way!
There were also some new Practices that came up outside of the vote! See list below:
Sand Soccer: a violent game of soccer on the beach, often accomponied by a ball kicked to the face of a young child by their parent. Try to kick the ball, not the sand, your toes will thank you!
The Dominos Dash: the Dominos Dash is a fun filled night in which the parents and senior Wild Jeffers leave the juniors in a wild dash for freedom. They are promptly replaced by a kind Dominos delivery man. This practice is often accompanied by Furtive Movie Watching (see below).
Furtive Movie Watching: when the junior of the Way get bored on a summer night around a camp fire they will often resort to the mindless entertainment of TV. An iPad is often snuck behind the senior members backs and the night is spent watching dumb PG movies and becoming invested in side characters with very little screen time. To fully complete this practice it is recommended to binge all three Descendants movies.
2023 was an important year for the Way as for the first time there are Abominations to the Way. This is what we have so far:
Forgetting bike locks: this is a most terrible and truly harmful thing to do especially when it leads to your fellow Wild Jeffers WAITING IN THE HOT SUN FOR YOU FOREVER.
Inflation mixed with shrinkflation: this is not good because it means that the ice cream cones are both more expensive and smaller. It's too bad for the Log Cabin we found a better way to get our vacation quota of ice cream in our systems.
