  • Planning a World Scout Night
    Planning a World Scout Night Introduction This is a great time for Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Sea Scouts to learn more about Scouting around the world. This section gives unit leaders ideas on how to explore International Scouting in a 60 to 90 minute meeting that can be done in an evening, or during a summer camp experience. Learning Goals 1. To gain appreciation that each member of the BSA is also a member of the World Scouting Family, which shares common values (Law, Oath, basic structure) while delivering programs with some variety (some have advancement, others not, etc.) 2. To learn about other cultures, languages, and Scouting traditions from other countries 3. To provide program ideas that align with WOSM’s goals and programs, such as the Messenger of Peace program and the focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Overview Hosting a “World Scout Night” is a great way to add a new dimension to your program. The suggestions in this guide are intended to spark ideas for a fun, engaging and educational 60 to 90 minute meeting or summer camp activity. There are more ideas here than any unit could accomplish in 90 minutes, so choose what activities best fit your group. Most of these ideas will work with all age groups, from Cubs to Venturers. Consider how you might adapt these ideas to your unit meeting. Preparation Read through these program notes. For some activities, you or your Scouts may need to do some research and prep work prior to the meeting. We also encourage your unit to take a collection for the World Friendship Fund (https://www.scouting.org/international/information-sheets/22-329/), which is a BSA program to fund international Scouting projects.

  • Kids in Paradise Thanks for Another Great Musical Production
    Kids in Paradise Thanks for another great musical production. Both ‘Superkids’ and ‘Kids in Paradise’ have been real hits and have certainly helped to raise the profile of music and drama in our school. The year 6 & 7’s had a ball and I am already being ‘nagged to death’ about next year. Thanks again and keep writing these masterpieces. Para Vista School The show was fantastic! When I first read the script I chuckled to myself … by the time the kids had finished with it the audience couldn’t stop laughing. – ‘Best children’s production I have seen’ was one of the many comments. The audience loved it, but, more importantly, the children loved being a part of it. Thank you. St Georges Rd PS ‘Kids in Paradise’ received rave reviews. I knew this would happen because it was such a terrific script. May I congratulate Bushfire Press on the quality of material we received. Waverly Meadows PS We knew as soon as we read the script that the children would really enjoy this musical. The music & songs were excellent. Thanks for such a quality product. St Augustine’s School I wish to thank you for your touch of brilliance with ‘Kids in Paradise’. The parents were absolutely delighted. It is an excellent piece of theatre for children. Congratulations! St Joseph’s PS Fabulous! Very easy to produce – no scene changes – great!! Costuming – really easy. Props – super easy. Because our school had put ‘Kids in Paradise’ on in 1991, we still had the Bongo tree (it just had to be revamped).

    Third Edition: July 2020 As always we welcome your feedback and ideas to: [email protected] Welcome Finally, the whole team recognises that the last few months have been really tough for people in their personal lives as well as in Scouting. I know As we finished writing this 3rd Edition of Scouting from many stories I’ve heard that Scouting is at Home, the National Youth Agency (and Scout making a difference and is appreciated by our Headquarters) readiness level was reduced from members and parents at this time. Thank you for Red to Amber. This means that sections can everything you have been doing to keep Scouting start to think about resuming some face to face going and support young people. Scouting. I’m sure that lots of you are keen to get back to activities in the great outdoors, but others may Andrew Hobson not feel ready or able to resume face to face Deputy County Commissioner activities currently. There is no expectation of Chair of Programme & Training Team when you should hold your first outdoor meeting and there is no rush. Every Section and Group will have different circumstances and will know what is right for them. Safety is the number one priority, and you should take some time to familiarise yourself with the Scout Framework and Covid Code: scouts.org.uk/volunteers/scouts-at-home/getting- everyone-back-together-safely/ We’re pleased to bring you another great range of activities this time and recommend you consider a blended programme with some Scouting at Home activities as well as some face to face activities once your restart plans are approved.

Raft building can be done on many levels, from producing a raft to carry a teddy bear across a paddling pool, to a raft to carry the whole unit across a lake. It traditionally involves building a raft from various objects, usually pioneering poles, ropes and barrels. This activity promotes team work and cooperation as well as testing out the group's knowledge of knots and their concepts of building items from scratch. As with most water-based activities, getting wet is part of the fun.
