Our response to the COVID-19 crisis. Bringing Scouting to YOU.
Due to the unprecedented times that we find ourselves in, we are currently providing a range of ways to ensure that Scouting can still take place in whatever form that may be.
Here at West Thorpe, we are committing to bringing you the following during this period:
- 1-hour long online weekly meetings for ALL THREE of our sections.
- Regular 'do-it-yourself' at-home challenges, uploaded to our YouTube channel as part of our 'Are You Up For The Challenge?' initiative.
- A Monthly Newsletter communicating all of our important news, at a group level, district level and nationally.
- Regular email communications
- Regular social media updates on all of our three main platforms: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
- Providing you with a range of opportunities to earn badges & continue to 'scout' at home, through our own resources, as well as sharing resources produced by other members of The Scout Association.
Badges at Home:
Though face-to-face Scouting may be suspended for a while - nothing is stopping you from earning your badges at home! Head to the Beavers, Cubs or Scouts pages for links to the Scout website, where you can explore the badge requirements and how you can fulfil these in the comfort of your own home!
For those members in our Beavers & Scouts sections, we have provided documents which outline the requirements for each of the at-home badges - making it even easier for you to earn your badges yourself! Download the files below!
