E-Scouts Aotearoa
What is Digital Scouting?
Our digital Scout Group is designed to cater to young people who are unable to attend a Scout Group in person due to remote living (Lone Scouts), physical disabilities, mental health conditions, neurodiversity, or any other reason that means this type of environment would make them more comfortable.
OUR PROGRAMME
E-Scouts meet online on the last Monday of the month from 6.30pm – 7.30pm.
Youth are sent out a magazine via post once a term with ten weeks of planned activities (it is also emailed to youth and shared in the online group). On top of that additional challenges and events are posted to the online group for youth to participate in.
Activities might include how to pack a bag efficiently for hikes and camps, themed baking, day walks, creating musical instruments, beach clean ups, and more. Each activity can be done with other members of your family, at a time that works for you!
