The Scouts Bunny Bash!

 This is being assembled Easter Day between some storm damage so things are a bit hetic.

Anyway many Scout groups around the world do have what I'd call whole events days that cover making Easter connected arts and crafts things like bonnets, bunnies (never can have enough bunnies!) egg decoration and various games.

This one poster from American Girl Scouts showing the sort of event day that can be done with a bit of planning and goodwill. Obviously you do have a "Plan B" should rain or be windy outdoors.

That to me sounds very much like FUN!

Easter fun

 

Easter is with us and so across the Easter weekend scouts up and down the country will be holding Easter Egg hunts often with a prize.

Running around looking anywhere within the target area fur them is just fun and I just love it!

Eggcellent things

 

Easter in scouts means easter based activities such as variations on rolling eggs which may be played inside your scout hut or out of doors as with this group of American Scouts or making things like cards or Bunny Ears.

Making a difference

 

While we all would think straight off about what we might get from Easter, these Cubs from Wrexham, North Wales decided to put things the other way around by sending Easter cards to residents of care home and spreading some good cheer.

They stopped off before attending their regular weekly meeting to make a detour aided by the Miss Teen  of this welsh town and in return they recieved cards and refreshments.

Easter fun

We're entering Easter so many Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs will be taking part in Easter related activities such as making Easter Bonnets, cards drawing, cuttting out and writing the greeting apart from that great staple, the Easter Egg Hunt.

How many of us don't feel the pull of something so simple and infectious as going around armed with clues looking for where these eggs have been hidden over, in or under things around the course.

That's before we consider the eggs themselves!

I'll be tucking into mine across Easter so have fun!

Scouting is Eggsellent!

 Well it's Easter Monday on here so just what would you expect to see on this blog?

Possibly some reference to the Great Easter Bunny who makes his appearance around this time and can be found in the form of a fun Cub Patch but just what is he clutching?

Many local Scout Groups (and Guides too) have easter events on which includes the evergreen,bags of fun Easter Egg Hunt, trying to spot them in the most oddest places they could of been left in.

That one's in this south of this area.

Well this little chap seems to be finding them. 

They don't grow underground surely?

That is this blog writers main egg which will be consumed no doubt today cos he's pretty kid like at heart loving this time of year.

Happy Easter!

Easter edition

 Today we're looking at Easter in Scouting.

Easter is marked in different ways and one the First North Sutton, Surrey scouts are doing this year is a easter crafts challenge which fits the "At Home" agenda with the pandemic where people will make things as I did when I was younger and they'll be all shared.

 

Scouting Ireland for instance in Beavers and Cubs is running a design and send a Easter Card that will be dropped off to care homes to add a bit cheer to elderly residents who haven't been able to have visitors at easter in the way we normally would.

In Northern Ireland they had a bake off with an easter theme.

That perennial, the Easter Egg Hunt is still happening this year which was and is a load of fun.
