Scouts Attend First Pride Parade Since Lockdown

Birmingham, Pride

Report by Darren Kyte, Scout Pride Co-ordinator for Birmingham Pride This was the first attendance of the Scouts at a pride parade since the lockdown we all experienced. Since the lockdown measures were eased, as scouts, it was important that as lockdown measures have eased we could have as near normal experience taking part in the parade, which was great for everyone's mental health and to show we are still here for our young people who maybe struggling with their sexuality. It's important for them to know that us leaders are here to support them as we slowly all return to face to face scouting. Just over 30 scouts attended the parade in Birmingham including young people from the scout and explorer sections, their parents and leaders. Everyone had a fantastic time today an...

A Change of Platform: Ali’s Audio Diary Week 3

News, Oxford

https://scout.radio/play/virtual-scouting-alis-audio-diary-week-3/ We join Ali to find out how the group are getting on in their third week of virtual scouting. The group have moved from Webex to zoom and really like the breakout feature. This week the cubs made wool and Ali and the team tackled the problem of linking between sections that should be happening over the week. Ali also discusses the difficulties the group have had keeping their scout section running as the scout leaders are key workers and aren't able to run the section as easily as the other leaders.

https://scout.radio/play/virtual-scouting-alis-audio-diary-week-1/ Ali is a cub scout leader in oxfordshire now running a virtual cub pack. We’ll be following ali with her weekly audio diary as she develops her virtual programme. Ali is using a piece of software called webex to run a video conference based cub meeting each Tuesday. Ali’s first tip was to do your first online cub meeting from your headquarters if you can to set the scene and provide context for the cubs. It wasn’t all plain sailing though, and some of the cubs has a bit of trouble finding the mute button! Ali adapted her previously planned programme to work online. Instead of the cubs whittling with knives, she deomnstrated knife safety and cubs were encouraged to try out their own knives wit...
