1st Mildenhall scouts- Suffolk UK and Bush Hill scout troop- Randburg South Africa had a very successful Zoom call yesterday afternoon, asked lots of questions about each country, played games and made new friends 8,045 miles away!
Couldn’t be prouder of my best friend @OllieSmithScout becoming Deputy UK Youth Commissioner! Couldn’t see a job more fitting!! (Going to get confusing on the calls with two Ollie’s now)
Here’s some of our beavers saying a big thank you to all of our hard working front liner! From nurses to supermarket workers, thank you! #StayHomeSaveLifes
Over the last couple of days I have run a pet top trumps with bury leaders, I wanted to ensure our leaders are having a laugh in these times. Here are the overall winners! All 3 had the same amount of votes #SuffolkYCC
Ran a virtual camp with Mildenhall Beavers last weekend! Great success, the beavers and parents loved it! Lots of badge work, pioneering, cooking, problem solving, camping, quizzes, bingo! Definitely recommend! #skillsforlife#YouShape
The thing young people in @UKScouting are most worried about at the moment is mental health.
My #Threefor3 ↓
1. Take the dogs for a walk (fresh air is good!
2. Have a work plan to maximise my productivity
3. Have fun! FaceTime mates, play games ect
Reminiscing over the last weekend prior to lockdown! Beaver district camp, climbing, archery, orienteering, circus skills and more! Found out I’m a pro hulahooper! What a fab, fun packed camp! #Skillsforlife#SuffolkYCC#YouShape
Today we meet Keri John from our Mildenhall office. Keri has been with W&P since August 2018 after studying at @MCA_Six. Keri is working towards her AAT qualification. In her spare time she is a Scout leader and is excited to be taking 40 Scouts to Poland to EuroJam this summer.
Rob, Lakenheath Scout’s leader, was awarded his wood beads at camp this weekend in a new and exciting way. His own scouts awarded the beads to him infront of District in a heartwarming moment. Reminding us all why we do this and the impact it makes! #YouShape#skillsforlife
Storm Ciara didn’t stop bury scouts last weekend! We took to the tents and enjoyed a fun packed district winter camp, pheasant and pigeons, survival skills, pioneering and of course fires! What’s winter camp without some risky weather? #skillsforlife#YouShape#SuffolkYCC
