First Virtual Scout Meeting

⚜️ Stay at home but not alone! ⚜️

Virtual Scout Meeting - the first for many of our youths!

Using apps such as Zoom for the first time, our youths and leaders had a bit of adjusting to.. learning how to mute microphones 🎙that magically unmutes itself.. managing everyone talking at once.. youths talking to each other as if it was one to one.. all the hallmarks of a chaotic virtual meeting! Nonetheless, our dedicated leaders took charge 👩‍🏫 setting some basic ground rules to establish some form of order with each youth taking turns. The order was quickly restored and meeting began to take shape and take course...

Zooming to our littlest youths, our Joey's 🦘went through their first virtual meeting really well under the careful guidance of their leaders. If the littlest of the littlest scout can learn and manage to meet over Zoom, surely everyone else can!

Cubs took it the next level on their first meeting with some online-realtime interactive Pictionary! (not easy using a mouse to draw).. Kudos to the Cubs section. 👏

Without a doubt, social distancing is here to stay for a while, but as Scouts, we are always prepared and always ready to challenge ourselves. With support from Scouts WA⚜️ sharing their resources on virtual scouting, it made possible for our youths to stay home, continue scouting and stay connected to the group, the community and the world!

We are in it together... Stay Home 🏠 but not alone!
