| Recipient Org: Description | a) We are a Scout Group, and as such exist within the structures of the Scout Association. Each Scout Group operates as a financially independent charity and receives no money from the Scout Association. We have 3 main youth sections whose leaders report to the Group Scout Leader (me). Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. Core to our management of our Group is the principle that our cost of membership should be kept to a minimum because the group's Headquarters sit between two of the 5% most deprived areas in Scotland. Membership costs £2.50/week , weekend camps cost £15/night. In summer we hold a 7 day camp for the total cost of £80. There are no other organisations that any child can attend today which offer such a wide opportunity for personal development at such low cost. In normal time the Group provides fun, adventure, camping, walking, crafting, canoeing , archery cooking and social skills, and gives young people the opportunity to take part in a range of creative, outdoor, community and international activities at low cost. b)Since May we have been offering Online meetings instead of face to face meetings. These have engaged our members in badgework and skills development, running as normal a Scout program as possible despite the challenges posed by Covid19. As lockdown lifts we intend to be some of the first to get back to offering first outdoor and then full indoor meetings within the restrictions mandated by our governing body. During this recovery we will continue to run our popular ?Camps at Home? which have followed an engaging format, with theme and numerous new activities from cooking to flagpole making. Quizzes, scavenger hunts and more. These activities have allowed some escapism from the trials of lockdown and our badgework has enabled an alternative form of home learning for some families. It is clear that the young members have been learning skills that their parents would not have otherwise taught them, while the parents enjoyed building closer bonds with their children. These have without doubt strengthened family bonds at a time when some have been strained. These camps have been run free of charge, and the Group has provided Tents where required and provisioned materials for badgework when appropriate. Help with Food and Internet charges have also been offered. |
