Bagheera reports.
The 1st Helensburgh Scout leaders would like to firstly congratulate all of the Scouts, Cubs and Joeys for being so amazingly resilient and keen to keep on with all their activities where they can. Thank you to their families for encouraging them to keep on with a normal routine and taking them on the challenges and walks and collecting craft and cooking supplies.
Lockdown put a bit of a damper on our plans for Term 3 as we had about four camps and activities organised. However, without missing a beat, our Scouts and Cubs quickly shifted to online meetings with cooking, craft and outdoor challenges, while the Joeys Section has been set some outdoor walks and activities for their Covid allowed exercise.
We’ll be meeting virtually to provide challenges for our Scouts while in lockdown and they will continue building their skills and completing their badgework challenges.
They have been practising their compass skills and finding where they are on a map and the Joeys have been encouraged to explore and observe our local bush tracks. The Scouts have undertaken a Masterchef live online challenge and a virtual campfire activity and the Cubs have made shrinky emblems for their patrols, painted rocks to lay a scavenger hunt for the Joeys and designed the world’s best treehouse online.
We’re still welcoming members, so if your child is curious about Scouts, please contact us. It will be an unusual start while in lockdown but we’re ready with lots of activities to encourage them to get outside and learn new skills.
