Scouting in Braunston continues during lockdown

Despite lockdown we are determined that scouting will continue. Many badges can be done entirely from home such as Animal Carer,  Artist, Book Reader,  Chef, Collector,  DIY,  Musician, Digital Maker or the pack included or 

 At 2nd Braunston leaders and our parents use  OSM: Online Scout Manager,  an online tool to track badges and run our programmes and now rolling out extra ‘virtual’ features to support scouting on-line for leaders to deliver scouting and award badges. We are also staying in touch with texts and e-mail.

Things we are planning: 

Camping at home – pitching a tent in the garden during this good weather cooking a meal, packing a rucksack for the overnight stay, making a camp gadget etc etc we might even all sing camp songs via a phone app

Virtual Meeting over the internet with our opening and closing ceremonies and  games that work on-line and a chance for Cubs to share experiences with each other,

Community support – How can we help our community? Ideas welcomed

Campaigning – putting the scouting symbol  or our necker next to the Rainbow in the widow  making bird boxes/bug hotels/ feeding bird
   
Challenges -Star gazing, wildlife watching, exercises, crafts, cooking 

23rd April St Georges Day – On line promise renewal

Treasure hunt walk – To do only as a household to conform with isolation rules
