All together now Deputy UK Commissioner for Programme Graeme Hamilton outlines his hopes for the coming months – and asks for your help in shaping it
There is some further change in the supplement this issue as I find myself writing for leaders, commissioners and supporters in all five sections for the first time. This will be the pattern for the foreseeable future as I alternate with the five Programme and Development Advisers, who will provide a section-specific focus. Supporting the range of different needs and challenges of five diverse sections is not something to be taken lightly and certainly not without support. I rely heavily on you sending in your thoughts, concerns, ideas and, most importantly, success stories so that we can share these with others across the UK. Please email programme@scouts.org.uk if you have anything to contribute. We’re currently building a network of experienced leaders to form a support team – all of whom will soon be deployed across the UK. In the months ahead we’ll also look at how sectional support roles can best support frontline leaders. I’ll be out and about too. Cumbria has already booked me for a joint Cub and Scout leader session in May. If I cannot be at your event then we’ll aim to find a willing person from the support team or staff at Gilwell Park. I’ve recently attended the Development, Advice and Support day events in Wales and Northern Ireland so I’ll be maintaining strong links all over the UK as we work together to deliver a strong, effective and fun programme for every youngster who has chosen to take part in the Scouting adventure. There will be more in a future article about how we’re checking out what’s good and what’s not about the programme and how you can give us your thoughts.

Just stand out In a new experimental way of producing your section supplement, we threw the issue over to the Aberdeen Network, and this is what they came up with. We hope this is a mixture of practical programme ideas, burning issues, bright ideas and real Scouting. But you’ll make your own mind up about that. Through their very active programme Aberdeen Network take part in two activities and a camp every month, as well as an international trip every year. All this is on top of their weekly socials and monthly hut meetings. The Network’s motto is ‘Stand Out’ and with their blue sheep logo they certainly do...

Kenyan r e t n u o c en
Last summer Aberdeen Network went on an unforgettable expedition to Kenya. White water rafting, safaris and climbing to the first peak of Mount Kenya were just some of the highlights. Stacey McPherson tells the story
A
fter two years of planning and fundraising, eight of our members finally made it to Kenya. For such a short space of time, we got to see an amazing amount of the country. We were joined by four Kenyan Rovers – Jonathan, Michael, Charles and Ronald. They were lovely, and helped us with all of our travel as well as arranging a cheeky wee discount everywhere we went. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without them. As they shared they country with us, we shared our culture. Towards the end of the trip they explained to us that through the programme we planned, they got to see parts of Kenya that they didn’t know existed.
Maasai experience For three days we lived with a Maasai tribe. When we arrived, we realised we were in the middle of nowhere. The only things around for miles were other tribes, the school and the church. On the first night we were shown around the village and made very welcome. Just before bed we got to hear some songs from the tribe and some of the children. We were soon asked to sing 6
some Scottish songs in return; it’s safe to say a lot of us were not born to sing. But we gave it a go anyway, singing Flower of Scotland and Northern Lights of Aberdeen. The next day we were given jobs to do. The men herded cattle while Madz and I collected water. We reached the spot for water and soon realised that by ‘reservoir’ they meant ‘brown pond’. It was a fun experience all the same. We headed back to the village and were treated to the death of a goat. We got to see the lot and some of the guys drank blood from the goat’s neck (a Maasai delicacy). We were sad to leave the camp the next day, but also happy that we had the opportunity to be part of their tribe.
Making a difference The part of the trip I was most looking forward to was staying at the Flying Kites orphanage for five days. It is an orphanage in Njabini run by Americans. We arrived on Independence Day, which meant... party! We got to know some of the children and they loved showing off their dancing and singing. The kids at the centre were
Network April/May 2011
NetworkSupp_AprMay2011FINAL.indd 6
10/03/2011 16:49
so upbeat and happy, considering some of the things they have been through. All the volunteers welcomed us and we had dinner outside with the kids, which was a great way to start our stay. Flying Kites not only runs the orphanage, they also help the community. We were there to complete a project to help improve the living conditions of a woman called Mary and her family. Mary is widowed with eight children. She had a tiny house with practically no protection from the elements. The children’s room was 5x8 feet. There was barely enough room for a double bed and no space for their things. We lined the walls so no wind could get in, made the roof watertight and doubled the size of the children’s room. We gave Mary windows to let some air and light in. Aberdeen Network funded this project and the money couldn’t have gone to a more worthwhile cause. Mary is someone who has been through so much and deserved so much more than we could give her. All of us put so much effort into her home and there isn’t a better feeling than knowing that you have made a difference to someone’s life.
B-P’s grave On the last day of the trip we visited Baden-Powell’s grave in Nyeri. We had a Scouts’ Own where we reflected on what it means to be a Scout and what Scouting has given us. We each told stories of our favourite memories of being in each of the five sections. Talking about these things and standing in front of Baden-Powell’s grave was so overwhelming. The man who brought us all together lay in front of us. It was an experience that I will cherish until death. This is because Scouting has enhanced my life so much, as it has for many of you reading this. Scouting is full of wonderful people all over the globe and Kenya is no exception.

Frisbee meets b Aberdeen Network don’t strike you as model athletes upon first inspection, but once they’d set up the quoits court and started tossing, you could see they meant business. Ian Towns explains the game that has got them hooked
Quoits You will probably know quoits as a game where a quoit (large ring) is tossed at a stake in the ground and points are awarded for quoits that encircle the stake. Well, that’s not how we play it in Aberdeen.
What you need
• 1 rope quoit • 25m of rope • Badminton net (or similar)
Playing the game Quoits is played in a similar way to badminton, but rather than using a racquet and shuttlecock, the players throw a ring of rope (the quoit) over a net. A point is won if you can land the quoit in your opponent’s court. You lose the point if you miss your opponent’s court, or if you don’t get the quoit over the net. Quoits is played either as a singles or doubles game.
The court The court has dimensions of about four steps wide by five steps long, either side of the net. Mark it out with rope on the floor. If you like, you can increase or decrease the size of the court depending on how many are playing and the skill level of the players. In this game, hitting the line counts as in.
The throw There are some specific rules governing the throw of the quoit: • The quoit should be thrown so that it spins horizontally (like a Frisbee) • Overhand throws are not allowed • The quoit must be thrown within two seconds of catching it 8
• No dummy throws • No changing hands, it must be returned by the same hand with which it was caught.
Serving Serves are taken from anywhere behind the back line of the court and can be played into any area of the opponent’s court. When serving, both feet should be on the floor, behind the service line. A ‘let’ is called if the quoit touches the net from the serve. You keep serving until you lose a point, then it’s your opponent’s turn.
Scoring You can score a point on every point, not only on your serve. The number of points that you play to can be chosen at the start of the game (we recommend 15), but you must win by two clear points.
Why we love it ‘Quoits is a fast, energetic, exciting, AWESOME game.’ Mike Minion. ‘I’d never played quoits before coming to Aberdeen. I absolutely loved it and now play back at home with my local Troop.’ Struan Charters.

Flexitime The Network years are busy enough, but an increasing number of members are finding the time to fit Scout volunteering around their commitments. Laura McManus explains why a flexible approach pays off
If you’ve an activity qualification, become a weekend helper to pass your skills on
S
o, you’re between 18 and 25 and enjoy doing lots of different activities. Have you been put off helping others do the same because you’re in your first year at uni, have a full time job, or are just too busy? Or are you already supporting a section and looking for more adults to help?
Feeling the pressure Research has identified that the largest barriers to volunteer recruitment are the time pressure on adults coupled with real concern over the demands placed on new recruits. Nearly 60 per cent of those who don’t volunteer cite lack of time as the main reason. Whether you can only give a limited or irregular time commitment, can’t make a weekday or
term
10
time commitment, there is a role for you. Just as individual circumstances are unique, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to volunteering. Each role in Scouting can be tailored to fit around individual motivations, skills and time commitment.
The Assistant role A Section Assistant: • can be based in a Colony, Pack, Troop or Unit • is a Member or Associate Member of The Scout Association • does not need to make the Promise • does not have to wear uniform • is not a trustee • only has to do Modules 1 and 3 of the adult training scheme • does not have the responsibility of leading the section, and is not required to attend every meeting. However, if they wish, Section Assistants can make the Promise, wear uniform, be on the Executive Committee and have access to as much training as they wish to undertake.

Flexible volunteering
Younger faces on executive committees don’t go unnoticed
No specified time commitment is required to hold the role of a Section Assistant; the details should be drawn up as part of a joint agreement between the Group Scout Leader and the individual. Scout Active Support is another way for adults who can offer a limited or irregular weekly commitment to volunteer some time to support Scouting. The membership requirements are the same as a Section Assistant except there is no minimum training requirement.
The weekend or holiday helper Plenty of residential experiences take place at the weekends and during the school holidays. Planning a trip away takes up time that section leaders often don’t have. Could you help? Are you interested in international travel? Could you support a Scout Troop in running their first overseas camp? Do you love the outdoors? Could you help a Beaver Colony run their first outdoor camp? Even if you don’t like camping there are opportunities to help with organising visits that will develop your organisational skills and improve your CV in the bargain.
Adults supporting adults There are many roles that don’t involve working with young people, and these are excellent ways to develop management skills and enhance a CV. A position on the Executive Committee might be something to consider: • Committees tend to meet every quarter. The fact that meetings are planned way in advance means that they can be put in the diary in plenty of time to allow you to attend. • You could take a role on a sub-committee eg fundraising, maintenance or adult recruitment. • Being part of the Executive is a great opportunity to really help a Group, socialise and meet new people whilst developing new skills. • You can be involved in strategic planning, managing budgets, being a trustee, developing the Group and adult recruitment.

These are just a few suggestions of the ways that volunteering can fit around you and your availability, skills and circumstances.

The Network can do it Adam Douglas saw a chance for Network to be at the heart of an event that would raise the profile of Scouting and help bring in £50,000 for the local campsite
T
emplars’ Scout Campsite, situated eight miles from Aberdeen on the bank of the river Dee, is a well-loved site which is run, managed and maintained by Scout volunteers. At a size of 45 acres, with terrain ranging from swamp to sand dunes and camping space ranging from big field to small secluded spots, Templars’ is one of the most spacious, varied and beautiful campsites in the north east of Scotland. However, the past 75 years of fun, challenge and adventure had taken its toll on the facilities at the site and it needed upgrading. To help improve on-site facilities a working group called the Step Forward committee was set up to fundraise and manage the upgrade project. They did a consultation to find out what users thought about the site and what they would like to see improved.
Keep the fire burning Top of the list was the campfire circle, the heart and soul of our site. It’s a popular area and used not just for 12
campfires but also backwoods cooking and survival skills training. It is a natural amphitheatre but the banks are very loose and over the years have become very unstable, limiting the number of people that can use it at one time. The project would improve seating and accessibility in the circle. The Step Forward committee applied for funding from the People’s Millions. Run in conjunction with the National Lottery, this fund gets the public to vote for which project they would like to see receive up to £50,000 of funding. We needed to film an appeal for STV which would be shown during People's Millions voting week. A small number of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Network members gathered at Templars’ for an afternoon of backwoods cooking to show what goes on at our campsite, while STV filmed the interviews with our spokespeople. In the end, most of those involved almost forgot why they were even there because they were having such a great time.

Sections working together
Bringing all five sections together can be special times for everyone involved
Backwoods fun Everyone was split into five groups consisting of members of each section. The idea was that the Explorers and Network members would look after and teach the younger ones. We made dampers, eggs in tatties, chocolate oranges and cooked some fish. It wasn’t so much the activity which was so enjoyable, it was seeing the five sections integrating so well together. It’s not unusual to see Beavers, Cubs and Scouts working together or Scouts and Explorers, but it’s quite rare for us to see all five sections working together, especially in equal numbers. I think it’s important that more of these types of activities are run in future.
Dealing with distress Before the activity started a Cub got upset because one of the older boys said a naughty word. His mum asked if I could look after him. I made sure he was in my group, that he was enjoying himself and getting
involved. He started off very shy but towards the end he was not only chatting away to me, but to the other kids too. It’s important that the younger sections get to interact with the older sections. It allows us to become role models and makes Beavers and Cubs think that they can’t wait to grow up and be in Network. Additionally, like Ray Mears said, at our age the best way for us to continue to learn is through teaching (see page 16). The best way to do this is by working with the younger sections.
update Aberdeen District Scouts were delighted to receive the most votes and get a grant just shy of £50,000 to improve their campfire circle. Read our fundraising tips on page 32 of the main magazine.

Invested by the best?
Struan Charters went with Aberdeen Network on a trip to see Ray Mears wax lyrical about his adventurous life of ‘derring do’. After the show he couldn’t resist the chance to pick Ray’s brains on what Scouting means to him
P
art of Network tradition in Aberdeen is that we like to make investitures as special, memorable and unique as possible. Therefore we jumped at the chance to get Ray to do the honours on the spot for three newer members, Mike, Ewan and myself. We were delighted when he accepted with enthused alacrity. Mike said ‘It was amazing to have the chance to meet such an esteemed guy and a real honour to be invested by him.’ Indeed his passion was tangible; it’s something I’ll remember for a very long time (the other Network members were pretty envious of us).
An audience with Ray Mears What was the greatest thing your Scouting taught you? Oh, I think Scouting is a fantastic thing. I think what’s impressed me most was in the 1980s when I was involved in a [military] selection process. Everyone who had been involved in Scouting always did much, much better. 14
What were you up to when you were 18-25? Oh, I was away out in the woods doing things you’d be astonished at, doing it for real. What was the most adventurous thing you did during that time? Life was just one big adventure at that time. What I found really good fun was when I was learning to climb in the Alps. If you were organising a Network weekend camp, what would you include? I think you need to have all the conventional outdoor pursuits to start with such as climbing and canoeing, but I think for 18-25 year-olds what’s really good is to have events which teach you to teach others. What would be nice is to bring in top experts. As young learners you learn really A video of the investitu re well and also make the can be found at best teachers. ww w.scouts.org.uk/tv

Investitures
Invested on Christmas Day For many of us, Christmas Day means overeating and dozing in front of the television, but for a party of Explorer Scouts, Network members and leaders from West Lancashire, it was spent helping at a children’s home in Nepal. The majority of the group summited the 5,360m peak Gokyo Ri. At the summit, Chorley’s Lawrence Cocker was invested into West Lancashire Scout Network with a picture perfect view of Mount Everest in the background. Also during the trip, Lancaster’s Rosie Bradshaw was invested, sat on the back of an Asian elephant.

Bookbridge
Give books, build bridges Molly Fassbender launches Scouting’s new global programme partnership with Bookbridge, a small charity set up by Scouts in Germany
B
ookbridge aims to create partnerships with local communities in developing countries, to improve young people’s access to English language education. The focus of the partnership is a big book collection in June, which will also be backed up by activity ideas on Programmes Online. Try these activities as a Network and think about how you can get involved.
Building a bookbridge Many of us have books at home that we hardly ever touch after reading them. The following activities will raise awareness of the potential your bookshelf holds to support libraries in developing countries.
Activity 1 Find a large box and fill it up with books that you have not touched within the last two years. Count the books you put in the box. • Which of the books in the box will you seriously need again? Take them out of the box. • Would you miss any of the books if they were gone tomorrow? Take them out of the box. • Which of the books remaining in the box could serve a child or a student learning English? Take any out that wouldn’t. How many books remain? Write down the number.
How many more books that remain untouched might there be in your household, attic or basement? Which of the books that you used within the last two years could you give away and add to the ones in your box because you’re unlikely to use them again?
Activity 2 Everybody brings their answers to task 1. Discuss the following points and make calculations: • How much work was it to fill your box of books? • How many books in total could your Network provide for a library just by sending these boxes? Going from your numbers, calculate how many books/boxes you could send if you extended the effort to family, neighbours, college/uni etc.
Help needed Hopefully this shows how easy it will be to take part in June’s collection. There is one more thing you could do to help – join us on our book sorting weekend at Sherbrooke Scout Campsite near Nottingham on 23 and 24 July. See www.bookbridge.org/scouts to sign up.
