13th HUSSARS ONLINE

During this lockdown which has taken place due to the corona virus pandemic, we, 13th Hussars Open Group, have discovered a great method to keep the spirit alive. When everyone was stuck at home, we Hussars were able to set a unique example. For the first time in the history of Scouts, a group conducted their crew meetings online and that group was 13th Hussars Open Rover Scout Group. We are not bragging, but needless to say, the use of technology by Hussars to conduct scouting activities is certainly inimitable for other groups. We do not support scouting activities being done online. We believe that scouting activities should be done practically and physically. But during this lockdown, there were no other better alternatives. For that reason, we will continue our scouting activities online until it’s safe for everyone to go outside our houses. Therefore, we are emphasising to learn the theoretical contents of the Rover Program. A special thanks to Zoom, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other online social media platforms from our family, for enabling us to make the online meetings possible during this pandemic. Some pictures with short explanation of some of the online crew meetings are given below. FIRST ONLINE CREW MEETING
