Press-play-and-go programme videos

Delivering the programme over Zoom can be hard work, so we’ve put together videos to help.

We know that 2020 has been a tricky year. Delivering a programme online can be difficult and tiring, so thank you to everyone who’s stuck at it to keep Scouts going for young people. To make things a bit easier (and give our hardworking volunteers a much-needed break) we’ve developed a six week package of video content.

From early December until late January (with a little break for the holidays) we’ll be launching weekly videos for volunteers to use in online meetings. The videos will lead young people through an activity, and they’ll come with an idea for an online ice-breaker and tips and tricks for virtual reflections.

 

The six week package also includes a live session on leadership from the British Army, an online Wintercamp, and a free, online, interactive pantomime for everyone to enjoy.

These videos aren’t designed to replace our volunteers – nobody could do that. We hope that they provide the focus of the session, allowing you to focus on what’s important: engaging young people and helping them develop skills for life.
