Adventure is in the air

 

Here in England it was announced Monday January 4th that we would go under national lockdown similar to but not quite the same as we did last March due to concerns that two variant forms of Covid were significantly more effective at transmitting the virus.

As yet there has been no announcement as to how this will effect Scouting officially but given the trends within education, it seems likely we will be resorting to more online pack meetings and activities outside of those that can done from home and scout leaders and others will step up to keep scouting running until the restrictions can be lifted.

The spirit and practice of scouting does lend itself to changes within how you engage with it and the transmission of skills and across the wider scouting movement we have seen more imaginative use of online formats not just in scouts but also in GirlGuiding and virtual activities.

The spirit of adventure is everywhere even in the toughest of times and scouting helps getting you through the challenges ahead.
