The Youth Program at Scouts encourages building skills, knowledge and independence through a variety of activities. It has the added benefit of being able to be truly tailored to every child’s areas of interest, connecting our core outdoor and adventure skills with our community, our creative and personal development.
This term in Cubs we have already conducted science experiments to understand how clouds form and how fire extinguishers work. We have had art nights to explore the Cubs’ creative skills and to learn something new and we are combining a creative activity to make gear to take on camp with us. Of course, in between rain bombs we have also been outdoors practising our navigation skills and playing games.
The rain did get in the way of our camping plans, but our Joeys are still looking forward to their first Environment Sleepover with other Joeys from our region. This is an amazing event that is put on only every second year, specifically for the 5-7 age group to start their learning journey about looking after our environment.
Scouts will be undertaking an overnight hike and having a climbing night.
We are nearly at capacity in Cubs, but if you are interested in your child checking out Joeys or Scouts, please contact us.
