#ScoutingAtHome #ScoutsMon

Since face-to-face Scouting had to be stopped due to COVID-19, some of our groups have found alternative ways to meet. Llanfairpwll Beavers, Cubs and Scouts have all been busy with weekly meetings and activities, making the best of not being able to meet in person.

Beavers and Cubs

The Beavers and Cubs have been receiving a lot of fun challenges and activities from their leaders, from doing star jumps wearing their parents’ clothes to making mug cakes. Every week they have a Zoom meeting (like many groups) and enjoy lots of other activities to enjoy at home.

Scouts

Llanfairpwll Scouts have also been having weekly Zoom meetings and have been very busy with fun Scouting acitvities. They enjoyed taking part in a virtual camp at the end of April, as well as a virtual campfire in May where the Scouts played music and even did some outdoor cooking. They have also drawn self portraits, re-created famous paintings, made collages of the area they live in and 3 new Scouts have even been invested over Zoom.

Scouting may not be the same as before lockdown, but our groups really are making the best out of the situation. Thank you to their leaders for the fantastic online meetings, and although we hope to get back to normal Scouting soon it’s brilliant to see our young people still being involved with weekly Scouting activities.
