The rise of Pannal 'Cyber Scouts'
Lockdown has not stopped Pannal Scout Group which, for the last three months, has been finding creative ways to deliver their usual activities online.
The now Pannal 'Cyber Scouts' includes Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers with young people, aged between 6 and 18, taking part. Despite suspending all face to face activities, the scouting group has continued to meet each week and has found creative ways to deliver activities online.
The group has completed numerous nights camping in their gardens as well as attending online campfires. The scouts have also done lots of baking, DIY and even completed an online Hogwarts escape room.

The Pannal Scout Group has also gone international by teaming up with another scout group in Christchurch, New Zealand. They have shared meetings and been learning all about each other's countries and scouting methods.
