BERE REGIS SCOUT GROUP

The Scout Group continues to function under the
prevailing conditions which makes face to face
meetings very challenging.
Beaver Scouts (6-8) enjoy an online video
programme recorded each week by Turtle, the
leader, and have done many craft projects, songs and stories and baking.
Cubs (8-10) and Scouts (11-13) have occasionally met virtually by Zoom with craft
activities, bingo, cooking and quizzes.
Kingsbere Explorers (14-18) have also virtually
met over Zoom many times. They have
enjoyed several quizzes, craft sessions
(pumpkin carving), even cookery (making
brownies), creating items at home to show the
rest of the Unit (pandemic pizzas and
pancakes), and a fantastic presentation on
the Explorers 2013 Nepal Expedition.

and the Explorers met for a night hike over
Black Hill, with navigation and general
knowledge challenges at bases. They also
explored with a bike ride in Wareham Forest
and a
