Scouts had an international flavour this week with a visitor from Austria and an international themed quiz. We had our first virtual investiture too! ⚜️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @PandKScouts @EastScotScouts @ScoutsScotland #SkillsForLife #ScoutingAtHome #internationalfriendship

An absolute privilege to be able to call and chat with Drew, one of our ex-Area Commissioners in @SWSScouts on the occasion of his 80th birthday. A lifetime Scouter and active supporter of our movement #AmazingVolunteers #ScoutFamily

Important Update for all our @ScoutsScotland leaders 👇👇

What a turnout! The street was lined on both sides and both directions (social distancing helps of course!) to welcome home @niallwilliams3 after six long months in hospital fighting Covid-19. Emotional moment but especially proud of our Dalgety Bay Explorer Scouts!

[Terry O'Neill @terryroneill]

Delighted @RosythScouts Explorer Scout Commissioner & friend @niallwilliams3 is getting home after six long months fighting Covid-19 and yet the fight is not over. Niall has a long road ahead to recover. For the rest of us, we need to follow the rules! https://t.co/F1TUikIear

Following the news from the FM, the Scottish Gov Policy Lead has confirmed that Youth Work that operates under the exemptions for education & training have not been affected by today’s announcement.

Scouts should continue with our approach using our guidance & risk assessments.

Our aim is to make sure our Board of Trustees is representative of our membership

I know how desperate we all are to get back to holding indoor meetings but we need to follow the clear guidance from @ScoutsScotland

Please be patient - it’s important we get this right to keep Scouting safe for everyone

[Terry O'Neill @terryroneill]

Despite months of lobbying @scotgov attempting to highlight this likely outcome, the requested support wasn't forthcoming. To be clear, this isn't just jobs lost; its also thousands of opportunities lost for the young people of Scotland @aewingmsp @S_A_Somerville @DougChapmanSNP

[Terry O'Neill @terryroneill]

Naturally i would highly recommemd you check out @ScoutsScotland @PandDScouts Wellbeing Pizza and the Guide to Five Ways of Wellbeing within #HeidsTogether. Better mental health and pizza 🍕, what is not to love!?

In Edinburgh we have been working with CAMHS to produce this advice summary for parents and carers who are supporting children and young people with anxiety. #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthandWellbeing

[Bear Grylls OBE @BearGrylls]

Every day I am reminded about all the many things I love about our @worldscouting @scouts family. We are united by a common set of values that make the world a better, safer, happier and more beautiful place. Respect, kindness, inclusiveness, equality, courage, sustainabilit…

[Addie @addiedinsmore]

This is exactly why youth work and outdoor learning must be prioritised. Orgs like @ScoutsScotland @GirlguidingScot @TheBBScotland & @OutwardBoundUK engage young people and support their development through non formal education and achievement which helps close the attainment gap

Huge thanks to Sue for all her amazing volunteering for @Scouts and to @BBCTheOneShow for sharing it with so many people. I don't know anyone who could watch this lovely film without a tear or two: https://t.co/4gI9us4Rlu #SkillsForLife #TheGreatIndoors

A Dalgety Bay leader features in this @ScoutsScotland Magazine highlighting the Zodiac Award, which recognises camping. The good news is that our very own Homeboree - Virtual Camp will be able to count as either April or spring (depending what award you're doing).
